so the 2 most "avoided" fighters seem to be the 2 least willing to go up in weight and take risks what a shocker

He wouldn't do well at cruiserweight.

Cruiser is not a hot division, there's a ton of upcoming stars at 175 though.

Beating Ward will put him on top of the sport.

Those guys at cruiserweight come in above 200 pounds. I'd imagine at least around 210 pounds.

Kovalev is probably around 185ish~ pounds re-hydrated on fight night.

Kovalev doesn't have the muscle mass to jump up to cruiserweight. He would need at least 1-2 years to get there, unless he started taking steroids. Even then, that's such a huge jump in weight, and at the cost of spending so much time to get there.

Kovalev fought at middleweight in the amateurs, his frame is too small for cruiser weight.

No money at cruiser weight anyway. He's wiser to stay at 175.

According to you Ward shouldn't be in the pound for pound discussion because he hasn't done anything lately. But you believe a win over Ward should put Kovalev at the top.

Typical contradictory ******ity in NSB.
