Kovalev KO'ed Darnell Boone, the guy that knocked down Ward, KO'ed stevenson. Boone said Kovalev is the hardest puncher he fought and called him a very sound boxer. Kovalev destroyed undefeated Nathan Cleverley in a vicious display of brutality. Kovalev destroyed Jean Pascal twice. The second time he turned Pascal into a basket case. Jean came by and thought he was going to intimidate someone with bananas. Instead he got destroyed mentally, spiritually and physically in an embarassing display. Kovalev beat one of the best boxers of all time in Hopkins. And he did it by outboxing him. Hopkins being 500 years old makes no difference. It just made him get very defensive. A younger hopkins would have gotten KO'ed because he would have tried to get slick. He acutally did try to get cute towards the end and another round and he would have got KTFO. He thought he was fighting pavlik at first and got knocked down in the first round. Look on his face said everything. The look of surprise and fear. Sent Chilemba to the canvas and beat him up. Beat up and knocked out pretty much everyone else he fought. Killed one guy. Ward is an easy fight for Kovalev. Ward punches like a powder puff with a chin that needs and is going to get some testing. Going by the 39 year old nobody he fought, Ward has gotta be one of the most overhyped boxers of all time with the wild swings and stiffness and exaggerated feint reactions. At his best he is an accurate powder puff puncher. Kovalev is an accurate Krusher puncher. Kovalev is going to destroy Ward with power boxing, if he can get him into the ring which I'm sure Ward will make very difficult. Wack ass named "Son of god" is getting crucified.
