    Ward vs kovalev has the potential to be really boring. Ward is a spoiler and does not go for the knockout, he just likes to land punches and bounce out of range. Ward probably beats kovalev in a boring clinch fest. Stevenson is a banger and he always goes for the knockout just like kovalev. You have the two hardest hitting knockout artists in their division going against each other.


    Talk about it

    No you dont. That would be Kovalev and Beterbiev

    Stevenson is about 8 levels below Kovalev. He would be obliterated by Beterbiev too

    At least Ward has some high level skills

    Yeah I wouldn't look at Ward as a power puncher, though this fight with Kovalev he might?!:naughty2:

    What are you talking about? Stevenson has plenty of skills. He is a better boxer than both beterbiev and kovalev and hits just as hard or harder than them.

    That's why he got put on his backside and tagged repeatedly off the son of Joe Smith jnr.

    Facts remain since Stevenson beat Dawson his title reign has been lacklustre.

    Don't know why people pretend like Kovalev easily beats Stevenson, it's a horrible fight for him that he loses by knockout. That lightning fast straight left is kryptonite for Kovalev, look how easily and consistently Chilemba was landing his left jab, now imagine that was Stevensons left hand landing.

    Yeh Stevenson is a dangerous fight for Kovalev to be fair, he will be ultra alert that night take Stevenson late and stop him. That's what I think anyway

    Between them both they've got solid resumes, for the record I think their resumes are on par with Ward.

    Ward has Kessler, Froch and a dead Dawson, other than that it's b and c level fighters.

    Stevenson, Kovalev and Ward are all elite level fighters, whilst I'm not a fan of Stevenson the man his talent cannot be questioned but as I've said his title reign has been underwhelming and he seems more than happy to fight the lower tier contenders and posture.

    Yeah, Ward doesn't go for the knockout so clearly has no place in a boxing ring, because as we know, boxing is only about KOs and any other form of fighting or tactics are invalid and not worthy of appreciation. To be honest, when I watch a fight, if it goes the distance - especially if no one is knocked down - I count it as a no contest.
