    I disagree. I haven't heard any respected pundits change their minds on Ward-Kovalev I based on subsequent Kovalev wins. Who are you thinking of?

    Also, I think Ward's resume eclipses Kovalev and beating a 5'9 Middleweight won't do anything to change that.

    I never liked watching Ward fight until he fought Kovalev.

    Let's just say he has 5 fights in him, and those go against

    Canelo, Smith, Beterbeiv, Bivol and Gvozdyk

    That 100% puts him on front of Ward

    Not high. But Isal said there wasn't much he could do to surpass Ward, there definitely is.

    true. though I'd give ward better odds of achieving that run.

    Its a Frochsque Murderers row though. they both pick up multiple defeats.

    Meanwhile Cowardzaghe would run to CW and for a far more meaningful shot roy jones rematch.

    That's actually bull****. Pac beating Thurman, has no bearing on Floyd, neither do any of Canelo's wins. It actually kinda shits on Floyd's legacy, as Pac is actually taking dangerous fights, whereas Floyd went the ***** route.

    I'm not a Ward guy, but Kovalev fans are some of the most arse sore in the history of boxing. Still salty after all this time.
