Regardless of whether you think the rematch finish was legal/illegal, Kovalev/Ward have basically gone even in rounds faced and Kov was overwhelingly seen was winning the 1st fight.

They are still rivals at LHW, although the aesthetic appeal of a trilogy is low.

Stevenson has been on the sidelines for a long long time, is pretty much at retirement age and has always been a stocky fighter with one punch. I don't see him being dynamic enough. Kov and Ward would both figure him out in minutes.

Beterbiev, Gvozdyk, Alvarez and Bivol all look great but need breakthrough wins.

It's a toss up, really.

They need to fight it out and earn that status. I'm not sure cause a lot of them haven't been tested.

Kovalev may be a distant second but I think Ward has ruined him mentally, exposed several weaknesses and has lost the aura of invincibility.

Stevenson. There's a reason duva ducked that purse bid.
