Kovalev best LHW right now?

[VG_Addict]

Is he the best LHW in the current division? I say he's more proven than Stevenson who beat Dawson, who was coming off a loss and badly weight drained in his last fight. Other than that, who has Stevenson really fought? Kovalev has beaten Cleverly, who had never been down in his career, and Campillo, who if nothing else, was a former champion.

If you dont include Ward then probably

Ah fuck while were at it... If you dont include Froch, Bika or Kessler either or a whole host of other SUPER MIDDLE WEIGHTS.....

Possibly the best, which shows you how shallow/wide open the LHW division is right now.

Technically, no..

1. Ward

2. Hopkins

3. Kovalev

Ward and Hopkins has fought and conquered all styles.. Kovalev has yet to face a multi-dimensional, master boxer.

He still needs to prove himself.

He'd beat Bika easy. Prob beats Kesseler. Froch a good fight

Hopkins takes him apart IMO

Ward is a supermiddle! He hasnt faced a world class light heavy yet!

Ward has also said that he has no intention to moving up to LHW while he cant still make the super middleweight limit.

In my opinion, if Stevenson beats Cloud, then you have a toss up. When was the last time Hopkins beat a master boxer? Think on that. He's beat a certain style for a long time. He's had trouble with Calzaghe and Dawson, who are boxers. Hopkins would probably get the nod over them, but it's close. Stevenson beat Dawson in one round. Hopkins struggled with him for 24. Then again, it was a pre-Ward Dawson.
