I have yet to see a interview with Jackson talking Greasy about Beterbiev, he's beat Kova in the amatuers so he has the mental advantage and he's on of the few people who can punch with Kova. It's not like kova is technically flawless, it's just that you going to have to punch with him to win and he hits hard, but so does Beterbiev. I think Team Kovalev is more comforable taking a Ward fight
Andre Fraud it's easier, no doubt about it. Beterbiev has that extra something in his eyes, making opponents search the closet for boogy man before going to sleep
I'd say Beterbiev because he's such a reluctant puncher and can just maul trough. Ward's style and tricks probably wouldn't trouble Kova too much because it's about nullifying the lead hand... but Kova has 2 lead hands it seems.
Ward >>>>>> Kovalev. Kovalev will get tagged vs Ward. Kovalev has the potential to outbox Beterbiev, though - that's a 50:50 fight.
Andre Fraud is the easier opponent. Krusher will send his glass mandible shattering into a million pieces.
Beterbiev is a Chechen. Not to be racist or nuthin', but those guys have a reputation of being the hardest sob's on the planet. Ward is a guy with hipster glasses who may or may not still be boxing. Yeah, I'll take Artur until further notice.
I voted Ward because I think Beterbiev is very technically limited. That being said, I can't see Ward beating Kovalev in any scenario. At least Artur has a punchers chance.
