    Ward will Krush him and I see Beterbiev beating him again in the pros.

        I would favour kova to beat anyone around his weight class right now

        But ward, beterbiev and Stevenson can beat him

        Kova's main weakness IMO is his chin and and power punchers like Stevenson and beterbiev can exploit that. Also, seems as though he gets hit clean every fight but that's because he's so focused on inflicting damage. And like Ricky Hatton says boxing isn't tiddlywinks

        Ward is strong and has excellent defence and boxing skill

          I believe Andre Ward can at a catch-weight.

            Beterbiev is the only guy with a good enough chance on that list IMO.. after a few more years of development and experience. I'd bet on Adonis getting stopped, and Ward losing a decision TBH.

              GGG already KO'ed Kovalev in sparring with a body shot Dougie even said it was scary.
              Yeah but in sparring you try things ya wouldn't likely do in an actual fight.

              I think that, under competition, Kovalev would take far less risk and never go down to his lighter counterpart atleast from a bodyshot.

                No way Kovalev ever fights under 175. He is a big lightheavyweight.

                  Andre Ward gets hit clean every fight. Artur Beterbiev gets hit every fight. Adonis Stevenson doesn't just get hit clean every fight but gets knocked out by journeymen. FLOYD MAYWEATHER gets hit clean every fight.

                  Anyone who uses a "he gets hit clean" reason as to why Kovalev will lose..... DKSAB. Sorry

                    Kovalev is big, he made Pascal look average for his weight.
                    Exactly, pascal is strong as ****, dude is also sculpted like Adonis (not the boxer). GGG applies pressure with his strength and power, Kov has more in both departments, he's a damn cruiser waiting to happen

                      Shabranskyy (who is very similar to the Krusher) might beat Kovalev. However, he's an Al Haymon fighter.



                      There's also Gvozdyk, who has power and excellent boxing skills (he's a better, more intelligent boxer than Beterbiev).



                      Watch for THOSE two light heavyweights.
