It's too early to say that when Ward hasn't had a competitive fight in 3 years and has yet to fight at 175.
Think about it ... if Ward only sc****s past Barrera, then he doesn't deserve to be called a top P4P fighter and beating him shouldn't make Kovalev automatic No1.
On the other hand, if Ward barely beats Barrera then goes on to beat Kovalev, that means Krusher was not as good as we thought he was, and Ward shouldn't be P4P No1 for beating him.
Wait and and see what happens when Ward fights Barrera. Then we'll have some idea of the level he is at now.
