    Kovalev. Every punch he throws has sickening power. He can knock people out with either hand and with any punch it seems.....

      I'm inclined to agree with this. But if you're talking 'array of punches that can KO a credible opponent' then I say Kovalev.

      I increasingly think that if they fight in the next year Adonis would win based on his boxing and couterpunching. Though it could be a very short fight that could go either way.

        One punch? Maybe Stevenson...but he has to find that straight left, even his R.Hook, although dangerous isn't a particular killer punch.

        Difference with Kovalev is that he throws a lot of hard punches in combination, and any one of them can leave a guy dazed for just long enough for Kovalev to find the opening he needs...

        Both guys get the KO, but IMO Kovalev has more routes to it.

            Kovalev is more a heavy handed, thudding puncher.

            Stevenson is a faster, sharp puncher.

            Different kinds of power.

              I haven't seen Kovalev beyond 4 rounds yet since the 1st time i saw him against Campillo.

                  Yep and Kovalev is a far better finisher once he hurts his opponent, it's game over. Stevenson stands back and lets fighters off the hook once he hurts them.

                    Hold up, Kovalev really killed a guy? Can someone confirm this?
