I would give Kessler the best shot, he was big enough to fight 175, had a good jab, powerful right hand and left hook. But no, none of them beat Kovalev. On the reverse of that though, Ward goes through Kovalev's resume too, just with less knockouts.
They're nearly all SMWs, you can hardly expect them to hang with a big-punching LHW.
Edwin Rodriguez is one of the LHWs on Ward's resume. He could maybe go a few rounds. Mikkel Kessler was a solid SMW, he could maybe hang at LHW. Froch is too small.
Kovalev KOs any version of Dawson I think, doesn't have the chin.
