Jones would be far too quick and athletic for him too.. I'd rate Kovalev ahead of beterbiev too, although those guys had their run ins the amateur days and beterbiev beat Kovalev a few times.
I don't think Ward would have the strength to match Beterbiev inside & would get broken down
Kovalev had a piston of a jab & better boxing ability but I feel he lacked the mental fortitude to outlast Beterbiev
I could see Tarver & Hopkins lasting the distance in losing efforts
