roche use to do the broadcast for nbs sports and said kovalev was his favoriet fighter a few years ago
I remember, he said "my favorite prospect right now" or something close.
Kovalev is still with Jackson, he's just looking for another coach.
I don't think Roach does much for him, nor does he seem likely to have the time. Kovalev would be #3 on his list at best behind Pacquiao and Cotto.
Cotto loses his next 160 pound fight if he fights a two legged middleweight
Thats nonesense.
Pac has 2 fights left
And cotto has 3 at most.
Kovalev fits in very well and is the best at 175.
Imagine the cotto vs martinez plan vs stevenson.
Kovalev is the future p4p top 5 guy
Imagine the Khan v Garcia plan vs Stevenson.
Roach is primarily an offensive coach, Kovalev seems to have that side of his game working pretty well.
Not saying they wouldn't be a good fit, but offense is not exactly an area Kovalev needs help with.
