Hard to pick, both are have suspect chins, Stevenson was KTFO by Boone, while Kovalev was hurt, down, and barely won a SD against him.
I think I'm going to have to go with Stevenson, he seems like the much harder man to hit. Kovalev on the other hand is stiff, not really any upper body movement, his offense is his defense. Stevenson's movement gives him trouble and he gets KO'd IMO.
Either way the fight doesn't go the distance.
I'm not sold on Kovalev either, 3 past opponents were tailor made for him.
-Sillakh, horrible chin, been KO'd in both the pros and AM's
-Cleverly, his game plan was to be a human punching bag lol, he was also a very poor boxer.
-Campillo, chinny, and a slow starter, perfect for Kovalev.

Originally posted by boxingfeind View PostI agree,its a 50/50 fight.Adonis Stevenson is very underrated on this board,Its funny how people want to highlight Stevenson flaws but say nothing about Kovalev`s flaws.Kovalev struggled against Sillakh and got hurt by Sillakh in the first round.I gave Sillakh the first round;the problem with Sillakh is that he has a weak Chin.Adonis Stevenson has a far better chin then Sillak so i think Adonis Stevenson vs Kovlev would be competitive and would last a lot longer then Kovlev vs Sillakh.If anything, Adonis struggled a shade against Bellew - for a moment there it looked like Bellew had a shot at an upset.

-Bellew, nothing more than a solid contender who lost to Cleverly (although it was close)
-Cloud, schooled by Hopkins, schooled by Campillo, was losing to Mack before the KO.
-Dawson, was coming off a TKO loss during which he took a lot of punishment while being weightdrained. And he was nearly KO'd by Miranda while training for the Ward fight.
