I'm excited to see kovalev back in action. Im a fan of him and as an American I'm a big fan of Ward. I think kovalev got robbed but love his new approach. He's a warrior.
What!!! Only I can root for BOTH Andre Ward a nd Kovalov....
Adonis 'Superman' Stevenson has the better resume, FACTS.
Tony Bellew ( WBC cruiserweight champion ), Tavoris Cloud ( IBF LHW champion ) , Chad Dawson ( WBC LHW Lineal champion ) , Darnell Boone, Andrzej Fonfara, Sakio Bika ( WBC Middle-Weight Champion ), Thomas Williams Jr , Badou Jack ( WBC Middleweight champion -- Robbery! ).
Compare that to Kovalev's record: Darnell Boone, Gabriel Campillo, euro-bum Nathan Cleverly, a 50 year Bernard Hopkins, scared of Adonis Jean Pascal , Vyacheslav Shabranskyy, PATHETIC!!!
Ill take Andre Ward over ALL of Stevenson's opponents! And Kovalov should be 1-1.
Stevenosn looked like sht against a guy making is entro at LHW. Should of already fought Alvarez also.

badou jack had one fight at 175 and was ranked #8 when he fought stevenson to a draw. you said another top 5 but jack was not top 5 and is now only in the top 5 based on his success and result against stevenson. how can you use a draw against the 8th ranked guy as a positive for stevenson... its the equivalent of tommy karpency beating stevenson and then saying stevenson took on a top fighter! look at what karpency is ranked now!
kovalev is fighting alvarez who stevenson ducked for years and is actually in the top 5 now. if stevenson fights gvodzk and wins then great but it hasn't happened yet. stevenson hasn't fought a top 5 guy for about 6 years and that was tavoris cloud who in reality should not have been ranked #5 since he should have been coming off 2 losses: Cloud vs Campillo Results: Gabriel Campillo Robbed Again
you talk about fake champions but its going to take stevenson more than 6 years to fight someone in the top 5(gvozdk is top 5 in some ratings and not others) really? its not like he hasn't had his chances either.
We don't agree much but your on point in this one.
