The 2 best are completely flawed fighters.
Ward is a SMW moving up to LHW who does not have a right hand. He has no power shots and his best skills are the roman greco clinch and the backwards marathon. He is someone that benefited from biased American judging system. His entire success is predicated on focusing on illegal tactics that other boxers are unprepared for; such as running into the clinch, hitting while holding and headbutts. all illegal. He's got a decent jab tho. that's it.
Kovalev is very very limited. 4 round fighter. can only fight long range.
The 2 SMW's that fought lastnight were more skilled. They had a variety of punches. Great defense on both sides and they both had stamina to go 12 hard rounds.
No illegal tactics. Clean boxing skills.
