If Barrera was fighting Kovalev would it be 50/50?

    No. Because Kovalev is above and would smoke Ward and Barrera.

    No because Kovalev-Ward isn't 50/50 either. It's 80-20 Kovalev

    Ward-Barrera is a genuine 50-50 outside of State of California.
    Ward is definitely a favorite here and who knows what Jack Reiss will allow Andre to get away with.

    Even though Ward is great, moving up weight is traditionally not very easy, we still don't know how good of a lhw he is going to make.

    Not saying this is fair, just saying that I assume this is why Ward isn't being talked about as a greater force as LHW yet.

    Unless they are up & coming and have no choice, Russians absolutely hate facing Cuban boxers, so Kovalev would probably bypass this fight.

    Ward - Barrera is not even close to 50/50. Its more like 80-20 in Wards favor.

    Barrera is not really good at anything and he doesn't have any intangibles that can cause Ward trouble. The guy's jab is slow, his punches loop and he doesn't have much power. Ward will get inside and punish him.

    No you'd forgotten Vitali KO'd Solis, and I didn't differentiate between Russian and Ukrainian because you dudes don't :deal

    Personally I don't give a damn, they're both Slavs no big deal to me. And that's what you meant.
