    its not the biggest fight.

    manny/floyd will still always be the biggest fight

    stevenson/kovalev is maybe a bigger fight then ward/kovalev.

    an i think kovalev/stevenson is a toss up n truly a great match up n it could really happen!

    where the fuk does it say bigger in the title?

    you think that kovalev would break ward so surely you think someone breaking the no2 p4p fighter would be a good fight to watch . . . yeah?

    GGG and Kovalev are about the same stage at this point. Ward would beat both of them by 12 round UD with ease. GGG and Kovalev gets hype on the forum and we all know why. But that being siad I enjoy watching them fight because they come to fight like men. No jab and hold like Grabimir Clinchko.

    Ward is afraid of Kovalev and Stevenson... Ward has talked about moving up before, but that talk stopped after Kovalev and Stevenson started knocking guys out.

    I ain't quite sure what you mean by versatile in this context - I don't think you'll find many who think that Stevenson's a better boxer than Kovalev (who has a superb amateur pedigree), or that he's faced a wider range of styles. Stevensons advantages would seem to lie in his greater one-punch KO power, speed and athleticism - potentially his endurance as well (since we've never seen Kovalev taken into the later rounds).

    I also don't really agree that his record is way better either. Stevenson has the single biggest win against Dawson, but Chad was coming off a bad loss to Ward and a long lay-off. Cloud was also coming off a loss to Hopkins and significantly had just been thoroughly outboxed by Campillo, who Kovalev beat with ease.

    I ain't saying Kovalevs record is particularly better, just that, really, they are pretty similar. In fact, between them they've pretty much turned over the LHW top 10 (with the exception of BHop and the elusive Shumenov) in less than a year.

    FWIW the upcoming fights have Adonis facing the higher ranked opponent in Bellew, but I think that most followers of the LHW division would acknowledge that Sillakh is at the very least as dangerous, and H2H far more of a threat than Tony.
