Who is the better fighter Carl Froch or Sergey Kovalev?

There's a reason why Ward said that Froch was a tougher fight, man. Carl might have been out of his depth skillwise but the dude never stopped coming and by the championship rounds Ward was starting to look increasingly uncomfortable. Contrast that to Kovalev I where Sergei never really seemed to trouble him much after about the sixth and basically allowed Dre to dictate the pace in the second half.

Froch is the better total package imo. He has 2 loses, and got one of them back. He doesn't seem like he's that great, but he does a lot of tricky stuff. He also is mentally much stronger than kovalev. Never would be quite to Ward's level, but very good fighter overall

2. I never saw Kovalev get badly outclassed by that same featherfist you mentioned.

Given Sergey Kovalev's powerful jab and lethal right hand, he would put Carl Froch away by the 4th round.

No doubt, Carl Froch is the mentally tougher of the two. There's no question about that. I'm just saying, that skill wise; Sergey Kovalev is the overall better fighter.

Hard to say based just from the Ward fights. Both lost to Ward but Kovalev arguably beat Ward in the first fight. If he had been given the nod, that would of sealed it for Kov.
Without that win, i'd day Froch's body of work is better.
