    Hes good,solid at the basics,uses range well and massive puncher.I'd like to see him beat ward but I've got a feeling ward is going to mug him.ancient hopkins took him the distance,ward is leagues ahead of hopkins,I'd like to be wrong but dont think I will be,i think ggg would ask a lot more questions of him

    In what sense ?
    I rate kovalev,I want him to win,hes got a good chance of winning,im not calling him in any way.
    One fighter who ward beat convincingly for me who I think has a very similar style is kessler,tons of power and did the basics very well and was rangey.ward made light work of him.kessler has more power than kessler but kessler had great power too,I don't think kovalev does anything much better than kessler did though.just an opinion

    Here read the article I wrote on how Kessler and Kovalev differ, and why I think Kovalev beats Ward.

    After reading my completely unbiased post and dismissing it as propaganda with no reason other than it differs from your opinion,you think I'm gonna read all that and and just take it that I'm wrong because your that condescending and arrogant that you think you are correct ?
    I'll give it a miss

    Hopkins pascal chilemba cleverly all pretty good scalps

    At the same time Ward hasn't had a world class win in 5 years

    It'll answer all of your questions and save you from anymore agita you're experiencing, clearly the question is eating at you since you went all out and did a thread about it.:deal

    And I'm condescending because you asked a stupid ****ing question like "who has Kovalev beaten?"

    They're not bad wins,im not slating him just i think ward is a completely different level to anyone hes fought previously.
    I'm split on it,edging towards ward,ward just seems to be getting completely written off by many on here when clearly hes far too skilled to be written off.hes never remotely looked like losing through his whole career

    Condescending in the way that you feel if I read 3 pages of your opinion you will change mine,and as you say all my questions will be answered,as if your opinion is fact

    I didn't say it was fact, I just explained why Kovalev's style is different from any style Ward has faced to date.

    We'll without reading it all i'll still disagree.
    Kessler if anything is better than kovalev in most departments and has solid whiskers which is a question mark over kovalev still.the one massive factor kovalev has over ward is power,the case was the same with kessler,kessler had more than enough power to get you out of there but it's irrelevant when you can't land it as we seen vs ward and vs calzaghe.
    Kessler was far more than just a plodder as is kovalev but there are levels,and I've got the feeling wards is above kivalevs

    His resume is decent, albeit overrated.

    It's not his fault though. The Stevenson fight couldn't materialize due to conflicting networks. He's fighting Ward now though, if he beats him, he'll have an excellent resume and will become p4p number 1.

    I agree 100%,apart from maybe being number one but there would definately be an argument for him being.

    I concur. Ward is on a different level than guys like Golovkin and Kovalev. They're both excellent A level fighters, but Ward is special breed. Ward will adapt to whatever Kovalev brings, and make Kovalev look lost in there.
