Where do you rate Sergey Kovalev?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

One of the top 4 fighters in the world, maybe top 2

[daggum]

Seriously?

Have you seen the Kovalev-Cleverly fight and the Bellew-Cleverly fights?

yeah bellew won both on my cards. it was tough but he won and have you seen angulo-rosado and rosado-ggg? i guess angulo is better?

[Real King Kong]

So out boxing a master boxer at his own game wasn't enough? Okay he's old but he'd beat just about anybody else or give them a hard time. While Kovalev literally won every round on every score card.

Hopkins aside.. How about iron chin pascal? The one who's never been dropped let ALONE KO'd before Kovalev. Kovalev knocked him out TWICE. This is the same pascal who had a war with Froch (Froch couldn't put him away) and the same pascal who beat the **** out of Dawson BEFORE ANYONE ELSE.

No, that isn't enough to call a guy a+ elite imo. Questions will be answered against ward...and hopefully stevenson should he get by ward. If he beats them, he's a+.

You're ridiculous.

If Kovalev beats Ward, everyone is gonna claim Ward ain't what he used to be. Lmao

That may be the case...but at least he is on the same level and relatively prime. Did you think pascal or hopkins were pick em vs kovalev...well ward is, that's the difference, and that's how a fighter earns elite status.

Sergey Kovalev said:

“This is my dream since childhood to be involved in an event big as this. People are calling it the most important match of 2016 and I am happy."

“I hope this fight will raise me to the higher level we always hear about and Its my first pay per view so I hope the fans are happy that they spent the money."

“I’m expecting a busy fight with Ward as I'm the attacker and he is the defender but there are no doubts that he is a pound for pound star as The Ring rates him number four and I'm number two, which I think is fair.”

[Sun_Tzu]

A right now, he beats Ward he goes to A+.

[elgu]

A/A- which means I rank him very high.

I save the A+ ranking for boxers that have victories over a couple of HOF fighters and at least one ATG.

If he beats Ward I will have him #2 p4p unless Chocolatito looks unimpressive in his next fight, in which case he jumps to #1 p4p.

If Kovalev beats the pimp and a more experienced Beterbiev he is easily the best light heavyweight since Roy Jones Jr.

[BKM-]

#1 boxer in the world right now in my opinion. He has the perfect mixture of natural physical talents and pure skills, everything put to brilliant use.

[The Hammer]

Kovalev has 5 wins over world champions.

Cleverly
Campillo
Hopkins
Pascal x 2

He has 3 wins over previously undefeated fighters, and 7 wins over fighters with just one loss.

He has 9 stoppage wins over fighters who were never stopped by anyone else, including Pascal x 2.
