way?
I only said they are not "slick" type of fighters
Chilemba neither,he is also kinda a spoiler
Shillakh and Mohammedi are the closest what I would call slick fighters from Kovalev's resume but they are not high level.
The likes of Rigondeaux, Mayweather, Lomachenko or recently Farmer are the ones who can be rather called slick. Ward is an elite, world class fighter but different styleComment

I have never had a written down list of the of all the great fighters in history carefully rated in order from the best to the 30th best or the 50th best. If the truth be told I'll bet nobody on this board has such a list. I think he is one of the best light heavyweights I have seen but there have been some great light heavyweights and he is not up with them yet. If he does everything you said then he would be right up there with the very best of them to me.Comment

He and his team walked away from the purse bid for the Stevenson fight. He presumably would do same with Bieterbiev. I doubt if he fights either.
If he beats Ward, as long as it isn't a robbery or a DQ, he will see his stock go up IMO.Comment

Ward has absolutely no chance against Kovalev, or Beterbiev or Stevenson, or maybe even Umar Salamov.
Ward will go back to 168 seeing stars, or back to the commentary booth.Comment

You're right - Ward offers nothing stylistically that bothers Kov. He's too feather fisted, is not as elusive as all those who have him on P4P list (gtfooh) would have us believe - and Beterbiev kills WardHonestly bro, the real kryptonite to Kovalev is Beterbiev. If Kovalev ain't careful, he will get KO'd. He has to box him well or KO him before Beterbiev does!
Ward is good but his style isn't a nightmare like fury was to Klitschko. Ward would absolutely school Beterbiev on the other hand.
I have no doubt even if Kovalev beats, Gvozdyk, Beterbiev, Bivol, Alvarez, and Shabranskyy he'll be the first one to do it! Those guys will stack their resumes later and make Sergey look even better!Comment

I mean Beterbiev could catch Ward... But I don't see it. I see Ward schooling him and clinching like fcukComment
