    Seriously I felt like he was way better than Chilemba he should have stopped him
    All boxers have off fights.. It happens especially when they're sick or under pressure!

      If you don't think Hopkins is or Ward will be... Then Chilemba because no one has looked good verse him
      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 style

        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.

          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.

            But I don't think he'll beat Ward, and if he did I bet Stevenson would still duck him.
            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.

              It depends how he wins and if he has a good run. We can make that determination after his career is over

                Honestly 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!
                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 Ward

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