GGG versus Kovalev at 168 catchweight

[Resilient]

What?? How is he more skilled? In what ways?

Better jab, better balance, better sense of distance.

Sparring is sparring, totally different then a real official boxing match.

But still. GGG has better Boxing skill then Kovalev. Kovalev barely has any boxing skill. Hopkins will take him to boxing school 101, and Kovalev will probably win only 2 or 3 rounds.

Is someone squeezing that squeaky mother****er's balls?

Dropping down in weight wouldn't serve any benefits for Kovalev. He'll feel less powerful and GGG would be able to hurt him with ease.

ggg beats kovalev, golovkin has better arsenal - more variety

kovalev constantly looks for the right hand

You must've seen him fight once if at all to say something like that. I actually don't doubt that B-Hop will possibly school him at all, in fact I'm personally leaning toward that outcome more now. Still though, saying he has barely has any boxing skill is ludicrous.

In a fantasy fight p4p with both of them at their best I would take Golovkin

I don't call looking for the Money Shot KO having boxing skill.

if kovalev can make the weight healthy, i cannot see him losing to golovkin.

yes, they sparred. it's sparring, aka practice. it's not a game. it's practice. ask allen iverson.

golovkin is a career MW. he's not a small MW, but he's been there for years, and is a grown man @ 31 or 32 years old.

kovalev is a good sized LHW with real punching power. you have to favor him. you'd be an idiot not to.


this is assuming kovalev can make the weight. if he's unhealthy at 168, golovkin may hurt him.

[New England]

how on earth is golovkin leading the poll?

if kovelpoop makes the weight healthy, he would be too much for golovkin.
