Comments Thread For: Kovalev Hopes To Become The P4P Best With Win Over Ward

[frantic fighter]

Because for certain fans small fighters can't be pound for pound best - I still see Gonzalez as best based on recent resumes no matter who wins Kov vs Ward. Now if Winner of Ward/Kov kos Stevenson and beats Golovkin - then we can talk.

Are you implying that chocalito did the equivalent to this?

Why? If the fight is a bore fest with Ward out of range and just jabbing to points victory? Sure it can be fight of the year but it depends on how the fight is, not just the fact that they have stepped in the ring together.

I fear this scenario is the most likely.

ward top 3 if he wins, whether kovalev is 1st or 2nd depends on manner of victory

I don't know, I really like Gonzalez and he may be a better fighter than either Kovalev or Ward, but his recent record isn't enough for me to rank him above the winner of this fight. Because neither guy is much a star I feel like people are underestimating how big it is to have two of the five best fighters in the world face each other. The only way you don't rank the winner of that fight number one is if there's an incredibly secure number one.

Like, if Floyd was still fighting I could see him staying in that spot ahead of the Kovalev-Ward winner. Even then there would be serious questions about it. Right now there is no strong #1 and the spot's kind of up for grabs.

Winner between Ward and kov will be #1in most people eyes except for the blind sheep that follow Abel Sanchez

No real fan listens to a trainer hyping a fight and takes their opinion as fact.

I am a fan of both Kovalev and GGG and I have GGG #1 right now but will be immediately replacing him with the Kov/Ward winner after that fight.

The winner will be the undisputed p4p king , imo.

This.

He said fighter of the year not fight of the year.

You my friend is a rare breed even though I don't agree with ggg being #1 on your list for simple fact can't credit for fights that didn't happen to be consider #1, I can say though it's refreshing to hear a fan of his not defend stuff Abel say as gospel

[texasboi15]

The winner is an instant star with the world as their oyster.

I doubt it.

Both lack that charisma it takes to transcend the sport like Floyd and Manny did.

Adrien Broner BELIEVE IT OR NOT has more star potential than Ward and Kov.

And just becoming the p4p doesn't guarantee star power

Ask Roman Gonzalez.

I think most real fans of GGG can't stand Sanchez big mouth. Then there's the real fanboys that take it as gospel of course... GGG is a hell of a fighter but Sanchez talks out his azzzz way too often on his behalf

I completely agree.
