Wards resume just took a massive tumble........

That's not the same train of thought. Beterbiev has no signature wins. There is no Kovalev level guy on Beterbiev's resume.

 

Froch
Kessler
Dawson
Bika
Miranda
Abraham
Barrara
Kovalev

Who has a better resume in the modern era???

 

Now Kovalev was a bum. Color me shocked.

 

Well it does call into question of was Kovalev well past his prime during the Ward fight.

Ever since the Chilemba fight he hasnt been all that great except for the first Ward fight.

He went from one of the most dominant fighters of his era to just Ok. He was destroying everybody.

 

Before he fought Chilemba he was pretty did look like the Terminator. Everybody does get old. And a 31 year old Kovalev stands a pretty good chance of shattering RJJ jaw into a million pieces and send it into orbit. And I say this with respect to RJJ abilities.

But 35 going on 36 after just recently been KO. Not a recipe for success.

 

Who had Kovalev got as a signature win?

49yo Hopkins?

 

So what your saying is.. ward ruined kova? Ok good

 

and Ward was way past his which renders this point moot.

 

What does that mean about Chenko's resume then? His biggest win has been koed 4 times, his loss has been koed 6 times?

 

But he told Andre that he hit like a girl, and that he was going to make a statement in the rematch by destroying him.

 

Why would he have been disinterested if he thought he'd been robbed in the first fight?

 

Naughty naughty.

 

Bailey believes that Sven Ottke has a better resume than Ward.

 

He certainly possess the power, but I don't think he'd have been given the opportunity to have landed flush.

 

+1. Even though I had Kovalev shading the first fight, Andre got a ton of credit from me for his resolve in that fight. Most guys saw the writing on the wall once Kovalev dropped them and got finished brutally.
