Not only that, but it CERTAINLY wouldn't be a chinny fighter like Ward who got dropped by a fringe journeyman. After the fight with Boone, Ward was scared to fight a real puncher, so he feasted on plodding, "tough guy," club-brawler, flat-footed, no real power-just a good chin-and willing to fight- slow, unathletic basically "I worked hard to become a pro boxer but have no natural gifts" bums like Abraham, Froch, Bika, etc. Ward literally has the most overrated resume, EVER
yes, he cleaned out 168..... But a TERRIBLE 168, just like how people say GGG cleaned out 160, but a TERRIBLE one that features Macklin, Geale, etc as top fighters.... That's exactly what Ward is a product of.
Still, Ward is a legit P4P talent, hall of famer, based on beating the best in his division (even tho they ******), and he definitely passes the eye test, so he is still that DUDE, and I would not dare to say he sucks or is overrated (SKILL WISE) because Kovalev needs 10000% full credit for this fight if he is to become the GOAT LHW (Adonis still needs to step up so Kovalev can take that belt) but the fact of the matter is this: I promise you guys that Ward has never in his life been in the ring with a guy with the total package and skillset/power combination that Kovalev has at his disposal. On the flip side, Kovalev has seen plenty of skilled boxers with no power in the amateurs- and Ward will be nothing new. I PROMISE YOU GUYS that anybody who looks at Kovalev as "another Froch" or looks at Wards resume as a resume "full of guys like Kovalev" is going to be in for a HUGE shock. I absolutely promise, promise, PROMISE, that you're going to sit there and be like "wtf is this? This isn't supposed to be happening" The reason why is because nobody, I mean nobody, none of those plodding cavemen Ward has fought are anywhere in the same stratosphere. I mean LIGHT YEARS in distance to Sergey Kovalev.
Two. More. Months. Lets. Get. It.

Let's hope Ward doesn't retire after Kovalev and perhaps fights Beterbiev
