Sergey Kovalev
- 3-3 - Kovalev was at one time undefeated at 30-0-1, but for this fight, it almost feels like all that matters is his last 6. That includes a pair of losses to Andre Ward (both controversial to various degrees), then a pair of bounce back wins, both against very worthy opposition, then a 1-1 series with Eleider Alvarez.
