          So if Kovalev beats Hopkins on Saturday, will he make your list?

          Ward is a one trick pony. He can only fight one way and all of the guys he's ever fought were slow plodding brawlers who were perfect for his style.


          He's good at what he does but that's all he can do.

                Murray is a complete fighter. He beat Sergio Martinez and his only loss is against Sturm (I thought Sturm won)


                Don't let the record fool you. Murray is a top 5 MW and a great boxer/fighter.


                The only guy who can destroy him at 160 and possibly 168 is Golovkin.


                If there is any guy below 175 besides Kovalev and GGG who could beat Andre Ward its Murray

                    Practically all of them.

                    The first two are Gennady Golovkin and Kovalev. Have either of these two shown anything other than one dimension? They haven't fought any truly elite opponents and they've fought one way - coming forward and KOing overmatched guys. Neither have shown the ability to box going backwards. Their defences aren't very good either.

                      Okay well we'll see Saturday night then.

                      But what do you mean outboxes? Do you mean that literally? I.E if he gets a early-mid round KO..... is the answer still yes?

                      Chad Dawson was terribly drained and was a shell of himself. I didn't wanna see that fight.


                      Dawson's skillset isn't even remotely close to Kovalev's



                      Dawson is the only guy Ward has KO'd at the "top level" and I don't count that because he should not have been fighting at that weight. He was a skeleton
