Who would you rather be??? Kovalev or ward legacy???

Let's see: Kovalev was in most people's eyes: blasted out by low blows AND a fight with Canelo where he threw the fight. So that means he never really lost to Andre Ward and Canelo. So in those esteems would you rather go down in history with his legacy or wards?

Let's see: ward was hated by everybody, dirty, called sog son of golota. Did no fights out of his jurisdiction, only did a few good things: winning the super 6 and beating Chad Dawson. So what I'm saying is that he in most people's eyes lost to Kovalev twice or once whatever you have it, but cheated many a times.

Story of the fight who would you rather be? And for what reasons? Imo ward had the greater resume but to some idk they just plain hate Andre Ward jmo.

This is an interesting premise for discussion, but the way you express yourself made me reconsider even trying to get involved.

Ward is in a much better place. I forgot the details but Kovalev had a fked up contract with Duva and only started making real money late in his career.

Ward walked away from the sport undefeated, healthy, rich, and still has a gig behind the mic. It’s an easy choice.

I know who you are voting for......... Kovalev never really lost

For every guy saying he lost, there's another arguing he won, and somehow placed in the same league as a Floyd or Crawford which i just dont see. But yeah Ward is in a way better place than kovalev.

So yeah Ward no question, never "lost" and never knocked out, also has a 1# P4P although aweak one, it's still an accomplishment.

I don't believe Kovalev threw the Canelo fight for real. He simply had no punch resistance at that point in his career. Also wards w in the rematch is still a w, take it or leave it. I think haters are trying to drum up faults with Andre, but he is a winner in life. He never got busted for being dirty because it's a fight, you gotta do whatever you gotta do to win it!!! And as far as retiring at 33? Only a thought pattern of boss matters! He didn't feel like coming into the office no more! Those millions in his pockets helped him walk away with a solid future and his health intact! Why see him in there like a Kovalev getting crushed and risking his health? If only dudes in Oakland will agree with me that's fine. But if a fighter feels like there's something in him weak or making him feel that way, honestly it's time to hang them up.
