Kov has timing, a great jab and cuts off the ring damn well.. That said

Their styles are similar, but ggg is a bit more flat footed than Kovalev. Once ggg doesn't respect his opponent's power or hurts them, he dispenses with the defense and walks them down. Kovalev imo, moves better, works behind his jab better and is more defensively responsible. It doesn't really matter how long their opponents last.

GGG was very light on his feet against DL... I would say showcasing more agility than Kovalev.

Whoever wins this fight is the number 1 P4P fighter in the world and it isn't really a debate.

i dont know why you call him versatile, he does one thing very very well. Versatile is when you can do a lot of different things. Ward is defensively talented and he does foul a fair bit, maybe he would win just as easily without it but as of now he has fouled in a lot of his major fights... anyways i digress, the bottom line is Ward is good at what he does but he isn't versatility... if you think he is tell me what other styles he implores to suggest he is versatile or point a fight where he switched his style (or two different fights).

Ward is wayyyyyyyyyy more versatile than Kovalev. I've seen Ward fight in a multitude of different styles. He is a chameleon, fighting in whichever style is needed to come out victorious.

I would call both boxer punchers, i just feel like kovalev is more defensively responsible while looking for the finish. He bounces in and out...while ggg tends to just sit down on his shots and let his reflexes deal with whats coming back at him. Ggg definitely gets hit flush more than kovalev. I like watching both guys nonetheless.
