Why do so many of you choose Kovalev over Stevenson?

[Russian Crushin]

Everyone is in love with Kov's punching power. His power is elite for sure, but imagine for a moment that Kov was a welterweight or lighter and you will see that there are other skills that can nullify great power. You need a complete package. Light heavyweight division isn't really that impressive so its easy to side with Kov being so great. Kov's first lost will be to a boxer. It could be Stevenson or someone else down the line.

Yet they say he's only lost 1 rounds in his last 15 fights. He's clearly skilled, not sure where this myth that people with power dont have skills

Power is a skill all its own when you don't have to worry about what's coming back at you. Check the KO records of the guys he fought, and against whom they got the KOs.

Personally I favour Adonis in 3:2 sort of way.
