    Kovalev seems to be the truth, but I don't think a Hopkins fight would be smart for him. Hopkins knows how to clinch and will do so as soon as Kovalev gets close. I'm pretty sure Hopkins beats him; then again, I thought Cleverly would also

    That said, I think Kovalev beats Stevenson and most likely the majority of other LHW's

      I didn't say that, I was implying that fans of the three like power-punchers.

      Anyhow I think Golovkin is the most skilled of the three, not sure who is the most skilled of the other two.

        Hopkins is ducking Kovalev.

        I heard Kovalev eats squirrel meat while the squirrel is still alive. The punching power may be coming from his adult-onset level III rabies.

          I'll believe it when he faces a guy who demands UADA or VADA olympic style testing.

            however, GGG is the better boxer.
            Pun intended?

              Damn, Hop is still in the mix. Crazy.

                Kovalev is definitely a risk for Hopkins but at the same time I don't think he should fight Hopkins.

                Hopkins likes that style and is a spoiler, he will trouble Kovalev.

                That said, Kovalev isn't Cloud. He has the power to do damage to Hopkins and can cutt off the ring and get into position.

                It's a good fight but I'd rather see Kovalev go after Stevenson for the Lineage if he can.

                  GGG is always in position to punch and doesn't waste any movements or have any stamina issues.

                    Against who he has faced so far, he's never had to rely on his stamina.

                      I won't doubt Hop, but Kov can fight. He's patient. I love patient fighters.
