    Sergey landed in round 1 against Hopkins. When that happened he dropped Hopkins because Sergey is a massive puncher.

    Hopkins then gave up. And then lost every round because he stopped trying to win.

    When Kovalev lands on Ward what will happen? Will Ward become a coward like Hopkins? Or will he show some heart and try and fight back to win?

    these are two hungry lions fighting for respek. someone could get ktfo in round 1 or 2 . after that it calms down to a dog fight. i would not bet either way.

    What will Ward do when he feels the power?

    Hagler Hearns had both guys taking numerous power shots.

    Ward cannot take numerous shots from Kovalev. Why would Ward swarm him? Kovalev is too strong.

    guys with power sometimes rely too much on that power. (think forman vs Ali) they end up setting a trap for themselves punching themselves out. Ward is a solid fighter p4p just like krusher.

    I am reluctant to pick because i expect a war.

    Kovalev isn't 225 pounds. He Has much less muscle than Foreman. And therefore is much less likely to gas out early like Heavyweights always do.

    You expect a war. I don't because Ward has no power.

    It really looked like mike tyson had power and for most he was devistating. But the real deal said "I can take what he got". And the war began. It was on and poppin.

    Don't be a heartless stupid scarecrow.
    BHOP's skills finally eroded by time. Still, I give Kovalev props for not running and hiding like Golovkin did and stepping up and perhaps retiring BHOP.

    Kovalev > Little g, but < Ward

    Bernard Hopkins has never ran in his life. he faced death twice in the streets . He was stabbed in the chest The doc that saved him said If he's coughed or sneezed he'd have bled to death
    That clown from Oakland doesn't deserve to have his name in the same sentence as B Hop

    It is not easy to land flush shorts on Ward. Kovalev better be busy and not go looking for the big punch.
