How Would Andre Ward's Opponents In Their Prime Fare Against Sergey Kovalev At 175?

yeh actually you are right about Pascal, fair do. But I consider him borderline elite only, he was lucky to get Hopkins when he was old and faded.

And no, no 49 year old is elite, nor ever has been nor ever will be. Even 40somethings aren't elite,

ok so kovalev has done it once. Ward has done it multiple times, I think the edge, slightly, is to him, but its more even now than I thought earlier.

 

Pascal who fought Kov was better than he was against Froch. Kov nearly killed Pascal had the fight went on few rounds. I had trouble to score Froch vs Pascal.

I like Kessler, best nordic fighter for long time but boy he would get slavic ass beating if they ever fought.

 

Damn, glad you are getting better.

FB=Heart and Soul of esb. :smoke:

 

Prime Kessler would slaughter Kovalev the viking way no doubt😁

Nooo I think prime Kess and prime Froch would go 12 rounds with Kovalev. They are better then anything on his record!! Hands down

 

They are significantly smaller, so I strongly doubt they would last 12 rounds.

 

Kessler beats him, Froch is close to 50-50, Bika loses a decision, and the rest get knocked out. (some earlier the others; Green and Miranda very early, Rodriguez making it to perhaps the mid-late rounds in a show of bravery in the face of savage one-sided violence requiring his corner to save him from himself)

 

Kessler: height - 185 cm
Reach - 188 cm

Kovalev: height - 183 cm
Reach - 184 cm

Significantly smaller??..

 

People who think that the robot Kessler beats Kovalev?? lol

 

Allan Green has success against Kessler.:rofl

 

As a dane i agree. Even at his prime, i can't see him win. Kessler was stunned bad vs Froch, and he was down vs Green. Actually he was stunned against Mehdi Bouadla, and he told that he was in much pain after a bodyshot vs Calzaghe.

So even though he surely have a great chin, i am pretty sure he would go down against Kovalev.

 

The Krusher would stop everyone of Ward's top comp...but I also think that Ward is capable of beating the Krusher's comp.

 

Shame to hear it man, glad you're recovering. Missed your unbiased posting.

 

Krusher stops all. Krusher is special. Just too good. The fact that Ward/Krusher is 50-50 is extremely telling.
