Would beating Krusher now be Ward's biggest victory?

I think it would be by far his biggest win. Ward's biggest win to date is his win over Froch. Froch is a tough, game, excellent fighter but Kovalev is much better. Kovalev is bigger than Froch and he hits harder than Froch. Kovalev is also a much better boxer than Froch. Kovalev won every round from Hopkins and I doubt either Ward or Froch could come close to doing that to Hopkins.

It basically comes down to who you hold to a higher standard. Froch (at the time of his loss; in his prime) or current Kovalev.

It would be a very impressive win, not sure if better than the froch win because froch went on to do some real good wins after that fight.
I think he's going to struggle though as i think 168 was the perfect weight for him and he will lose abit of effectivness going up. I also think you need to have enough power to make Kovalev think twice about just swinging for the fences, I dont think ward's power is going to bother kovalevso he'll be able to open up without worrying about whats coming back and that's a scary thought

With that said, swinging for the fences is what Edwin Rodriguez did vs. Michael Seals on Spike TV. If you think Kovalev can come out like that vs. Ward and win a round, you are living in la-la land.
