Of the following three boxers, who fought the weakest opposition in 2016?
Gennady Golovkin (Martin Murray, Willie Monroe Jr, and IBF titleholder David Lemieux)
Sergey Kovalev (former linear champion Jean Pascal in his hometown, IBF mandatory Nadjib Mohammedi)
Andre Ward (Paul Smith coming off two losses moving up to 172, 38 year old Columbian journeyman Alexander Brand moving up in weight from 168 to 175).
The reason I ask is because many people rate Ward as #1 or #2 P4P with the other two lower, and many have been critical of Gennady's and Sergey's opposition.
