If you was told Kovalev is going to fight Ward, Stevenson, Beterbiev and Gonzalez....

Kova vs beterbiev would be a hot, hot fight . And is Very likely to happen next.

 

He handled himself well against Froch. Froch doesn't have Kovalev's power but he's got good power for the weight.

 

I think Ward has the best chance to beat Kovalev, Stevenson is a one trick pony and is getting knocked out, Beterbiev will come out strong and go for the KO but Kovalev will weather the storm and either win on points or knock him out late, and Gonzales doesn't stand a chance. The only reason Pascal lasted against Kovalev is because he is awkward and has a good beard. While Gonzales has a good beard he is not awkward and will march right towards Kovalevs right hand.

 

This

 

Beterbiev already beat him twice when Kovalev had the advantage (For still young amateurs being a year older is an advantage)
Now Beterbiev has the advantage being 1 year younger.
Ward is a protected hometown entertainer.

 

I don't think any of these guys beat kov. The only one that has comparable boxing skill is Ward. And Kov will put him to sleep. Now, if you had asked if Kov had to fight all of them at once, at the same time, then, yes, actually no, Kov still wins as they would have limited mobility and he would knock them all out. If he had to fight them one after another with no rest in between then I could see Kov losing due to exhaustion but I still wouldn't bet on it.

I'd say beterbiev is his easiest fight regardless of any controversial earlier matches. He hits good but his boxing is weak sauce as he is stiff, slow and move like a robot. He is the type of figher Kovalev ruins.

 

I think he beats them all. The one with the best shot at winning might be Ward, but I still doubt it.

 

I would say Stevenson. Love him or hate him he might catch Kovalev with something big. Beterbiev is becoming seriously overrated on this forum.

 

Ward right now.

But Beterbiev if he learns to fight off the back foot.:think
