Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward

[Chris Collins]

I'd have to pick Kovalev in this fight. He's obviously got the power to hurt Ward and is more than capable of landing on Ward, he has the boxing ability. He doesn't have to load up he can just shoot the jab straight jab with devastating effect. And of course he's a big light heavyweight, Ward would have to move up to Kovalev's weight class, would he be able to bully Kovalev with his strength on the inside? I doubt it.

Who would win?

(With fair officials, no Jack Reiss as referee, Ward not allowed to use illegal tactics such as deliberate head butts or clamping Sergey's arms).

Ward don't want none of Kovalev, he's too busy calling out small middleweights like GGG.

P.S. As far as refs, no Robert Byrd or Kenny Bayless either. When Floyd was hugging the **** outa Guerrero, Guerrero loosened an arm and started punching Floyd. Byrd violently yanked Guerrero away like half ways across the ring and made him do a 180 and scolded him. WTF!?

[Pac=Duran]

Kovalev destroys Ward and Stevenson on the same night.

You know it man. Kovalev's contracts should have "No glass jaws need apply".

Ward does a lot of subtle things someone who has never boxed a day in their lives (namely 90% of the users on this board) would never understand. He can take away what you do best and force you to have a plan b, c, or d. Ward decision and the Eastern European bigots cry robbery.

Not a former boxer myself but I agree with what you said. Ward at his best will be very difficult to beat. He is every bit as skilled as Mayweather. In fact I think he is better p4p.
But Ward needs to get back in the ring and get that ring rust off.

[Bring It On]

Not sure, but if Ward is still the same I'm leaning towards him winning a decision.

[PivotandRoll]

Ward dissects him.

[lefthook2daliva]

Given Ward with a fight or two under his belt and at 100% physically along with reasonably neutral officiating and venue, I'll take the Son Of God by clear UD.

[mathed]

Killa Kov via KO in 5

[Pigeons]

This will be a fun thread to bump in 2 years.

Kovolev > ward > Golovkin


Kovolev would be a real test of ward's greatness
