Historically, Kovalev Nothing Special...

[Canelo and GGG]

Kova have solid resume and have plenty of time to improve it.

[Redd Foxx]

I agree that his resume isn't great. But, I think his talents far exceed what his resume has been able to prove. We won't have a real gauge for that until he fights Ward, which is another reason Nov is so exciting. I expect we'll see another level from both men. Or, at least, I hope.

[The Gambler1981]

Kind of early to judge that, he has some good fights out there for him though so he can still put in some solid work however long his career lasts.

[M Bison]

Beating a 50 year old legend doesn't cut it, sorry....

He's the run of the mill Russian fighter who just so happened to catch fire during a down time at LHW...

He needs to beat Andre Ward, which he won't, to even have a legacy....if he doesn't win, nobody's gonna remember him 30 years from now...

Andre's legacy has secured for 5 years.

I know you Kovalev fans will be butt hurt...

Yep so this is basically why Ward beating him won't make him P4P #1, Ward legacy is unimpressive he beat a flat footed plodder who's best assets are taking a shot to the chin and plodding forward to take more then he fouled his way to a win over Kessler many years after Joe Calzaghe beat him fair and square so I don't count his Kessler win.

Yes indeed, neither of these two deserve to be P4P 1

AND the agenda kicks in bbbbut his talent bbbut this bbbbut that notice the pathetic sniveling attempt to hype something up quite pathetic but this is the demographic we're dealing with but you know what is even more funnier...
Ward doesn't have a better win than Kovalev that's right his 50yo Bhop win is better than beating Froch not unless you want to pride the fact over that fight he should have been DQed in but wasn't due to that American flag oh the hard adversity poor little Ward has had to deal with robbing a gold medal and headbutting and clinching one of the best SMW's about at the time.
