Was GGGs performance the blueprint for kovalev against ward?

[Nay_Sayer]

he did better than an 8 weight world champ, and the 'face of the sport'. and i think even in the rematch he did better than pacquiao did, scorecards reflect that too if i remember correctly

He still LOST, Einstein.

Plus, Kovalev and Maidana fight NOTHING alike. If Kovalev pulls a Maidana, Ward will deposit his ass on the canvas...

That was an entertainment blueprint, it's not a fight winning blueprint. If Kovalev tries to do something as ****** as this he's gonna get blasted and KOd by the 8th.

Even Golovkin said that was not a world class boxing performance and he gives himself a 3 (or something like that).
