Big Difference Between Kovalev and Golovkin

[Frank Ducketts]

Kovalev is the better boxer period, and imo he has more natural power pfp.

Stevens was fighting with his guard extremely high against GGG, it's hard to KO a guy who's in the ring to defend himself instead of fighting. He took one hell of a beating and the fight should've been stopped far earlier.

Yeah when guys fight with a high guard against Kovalev he just KO's them through the guard

yes he is. He was KTFO by a club fighter with 20 losses

Stevens does not have the reputation of being chinny. Being stopped 10 years ago doesn't mean you are.

Sillakh was just KOd a couple fights ago and we all saw the signs his chin wasn't very good.

yes he does I remember several people including commentators mentioning Stevens' questionable chin so it definitely is not just me that knows this fact.

just google "curtis stevens chinny" and you get several hits of other threads from other sites etc calling him chinny so THERE

Kovalev is probably a harder P4P puncher tbh. Also I would argue that the guys he's fought against aren't as good as some of GGG's recent opponents, despite having bigger names. I'd rank Rosado and Macklin above anyone Kovalev has faced.

It's hard to say because Kovalev is so much more aggressive than Golovkin so it's hard to say with 100% certainty if Kovalev actually has 1 punch power better than Golovkin or whether it's more like a Wlad/Vitali situation where Vitali's power is deadly too but maybe not as strong 1 punch power but he's still a stronger puncher in general cus he has much more of a killer instinct. But then again honestly when Kovalev throws it just looks far more brutal and the sound his punches make when they land are scary. Golovkin often times to me at least seems to have this technique hwere his punches look more effortless and don't look as strong especially when I've seen him work the mitts/training

Thats ****ing hilarious. Rosado and Macklin better than Cleverly and Campillo?

You know what else is hilarious? The fact that you didn't include 'lol' in your post. That's rarer than a blood diamond.

I live in the UK and can tell you Macklin is rated far, far higher than Cleverly. You don't really need to live in the UK to know that though, anyone who understands boxing can see that. Your agenda against GGG, which is quite clear before you try and deny it, is pathetic and rather juvenile.

Rosado has only been serious about boxing for a few years, don't let his record fool you. He's a good fighter with heart and decent skill.

Macklin is better than Cleverly, IMO

He didn't give Sergio Martinez a run for his money for no reason. But Campillo was legit, one of the tougher fighters at 175 especially stylistically.

Rosado is a solid enough fighter, but he's nothing more then that.

So for me....Macklin> Cleverly but Campillo> Rosado
