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.....Quote:

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 fightQuote:

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.
