    I think Kovalev won the first fight. but that aside I do believe Ward is a superior fighter to Kovalev, I just choose to rank him at SMW as opposed to LHW.

    I rate Ward better than Kovalev, I just don't rank him as a LHW

    head to head I think he could be top 3... And it wouldn't surprise me if you put him in against some of the greats of the division if he wouldn't come out on top.

    I think Virgil Hill is underrated. The guy had almost 20 defenses at the weight.

    If the rating is strictly based on h2h, yes, that would be highly reasonable.

    Kovalev is a front runner, a good on top fighter, but he lacks balls when things don't go his way.imo.

    Good for you Leeds. I may not agree with your list but I couldn't agree more with your criteria and your integrity in sticking with what you feel in the face of differing views. What was it Voltaire was said to have said? 'I disapprove of what you say but will fight to the death to defend your right to say it."

    Are you sure you're a Leeds fan? You seem very well-mannered and intelligent.

    Try being a Blues fan. Especially when the dogheads and the 'orrible lot at Villa Park are doing so well.

    Haha I was thinking that as I wrote it tbh. Although we just lost again, thankfully the teams below us are only doing marginally better so we're safe but Jesus Christ our form is woeful.
