Put these light heavies in order

[1g5a22]

Bivol just won the interim WBA light-heavyweight title in only his 6th fight against Felix Valera. Pascal, Eleider Alvarez & Fonfara should be in any top 10 too ..

Chilemba is borderline top 10 too. Umar Salamov is borderline also. Jurgen Brahmer needs a mention.

[Cutthroat]

Those aren't the best 6 guys at 175.

Skillwise, I think these are guys are:

1. Ward
2. Mekhontsev
3. Bivol
4. Gvozdyk
5. Kovalev
6. Beterbiev

Mekhonstev hasn't been the same since recent doping rumors came out, makes me believe he was on something.

[just the facts]

Ward will get absolutely destroyed by either Beterbiev or Kovalev, and possibly by Stevenson. Although Stevenson is more of a one trick pony than the others, that huge Dawson ending shot is his go to game changer - Ward probably has enough smarts to stay out of the way against that.

Still mad about Wards easy win over Froch?

[just the facts]

My opinion:
1. Ward - combination of skill & resume
2. Kov - fight ending power & underestimated boxing ability
3. Stevenson - seems to be slipping, but still better than those below him
4. Beterbiev - hasn't done enough to pass the top 3 but man he's coming
5. Fanfara - head and shoulders above the other fighters the OP put here
6. Whoever you like - about 5-7 fighters could be here

[Chrismart]

Kovalev
Ward
Beterbiev
Stevenson
Gvozdyk
Salamov

Based on head to head fights. I'd take Kovalev to beat them all. Ward Vs Stevenson, and Stevenson Vs Beterbiev are fights that have my kind of wondering about the outcome though.

[Cutthroat]

I got six of them. Of course it'll never happen, but a Super 6 at 175, how good would that be !

I think the order is something like this. Ward is great at suffocating, and a fantastic talent - I just don't think he will be as effective at keeping these monsters off him, so I have him behind a few of them.

1. Beterbiev
2. Kovalev
3. Stevenson
4. Gvozdyk
5.Ward
6. Salamov

You forgot about Shabranskyy, he's a big m'fer. I think Ward beats almost anybody at LHW aside of maybe Kovalev-Beterbiev. Ward's been trying to get quality opponents but everybody is ducking him, I think that'll hurt him.
