    I always viewed prime Kova as the slight favorite in that bout, but really only slight.

    Prime Kovalev was such a monster... My god Canelo wouldn't last 6 rounds against him, neither Ward

    Simply because of the fact that we saw Kov's main weakness being that he really didn't like it to the body, I'd go with Beterbiev.

    That said, at his prime Kov was a mighty hard proposition to get on the inside against. Reckon Beterbiev might have tasted the canvas (like against Johnson) at some point but comes on strong late and stops Kov with a liver shot.
