    They may be similar in size, but Kovalev is career light heavyweight. He's been knocking out light heavyweights and getting hit by them as well.

    Ward spent most of his career at Super Middleweight and just moved up to 175. The punches he'll take from a bigger puncher like Kovalev will be guaranteed to be the hardest he's ever been hit.

        Hahaha. It's really starting to get annoying though fans and haters bring him up in every topic.

          That doesn't have anything to do with anything. The weight is pretty much the same, the height, the reach, everything is pretty much equal. If anything can be different is what fighters are made off. Skill, talent, strenght, etc. That is not a Kovalev advantage. If with the same size, Kovalev produces more power then he is superior in that department, period. Ward might be superior in other departments. But he's not at disadvantage.

          Well, calling Golovkin "Little G" and saying "They (HBO) preassure me to move up, and not others..." says something about how he feels.

            They have literally made the place unbearable.

            What is sad is you know that the majority of them only knew about GGG since 2015, now they are die hard guys.

              Sullivan Barrera is listed as 6'2 in some sites (I guess he's 6'1) and you can see him pretty much the same height as Ward http://ucnlive.com/wp-content/upload...ganphotos6.jpg
              They always list boxers taller than what they are. If you notice any popular fighter will never be under 5'8". lol! Dont be surprised if Roman Gonzalez becomes popular and moves up a lil in weight if he goes from 5'2" to 5'8" overnight lol!

                I know Kovalev is listed at 6' but I remember him being at least Hopkins height which is 6'1" maybe even slightly taller but not by much. Andre Ward is somewhere around 6'1" because he's usually taller than everyone aside from Froch who is 6'1" himself.

                      Is that pic meant to mean something to me?

                      Haven't you already exposed yourself as a boxing moron with threads like this?



                      Why am I even wasting my time with you? You know **** about boxing. All you post about is GGG.
