Beterbiev beat Kovalev several times in the amateurs, and won gold at the Milan World Championships which is even more impressive than Olympic Gold. In fact, Beterbiev was the true reason Kovalev eventually decided to leave the amateur program.
If Kovalev could have Ward down (and won in the eyes of most), I think Beterbiev knocks Ward the fk out. Beterbiev is an absolute monster, he is even more solid than Kovalev and hits even harder with better balance. He won't take his foot of the gas like Kovalev did, he would stalk and finish Ward.
Will Ward duck Beterbiev? Thoughts?
