Bob FitzsimmonsThe majority of fans seem to think Kovalev beat Ward so maybe you should be matching Kovalev into these all time greats in fantasy fights. I think Charles, Johnston, Moore, Tunney, Spinks, Foster, Billy Conn and Jones all beat Ward. Ward would probably beat Fitz, Muhammad, Loughton, Langford and Greb. All these guys fought in the days of same day weigh ins. Ward comes into the ring at about 187 pounds. He would just be too big and skillful for smaller guys like Fitz, Greb and Langford. Fitz and Langford may have fought and beat heavyweights with their speed and power but they were both natural middleweights.
