    Who IYO would win between Golovkin and Kovalev?

    If they were allowed to fight at their current weights of 160 and 175lbs. I know it's not possible at those weights, but hypothetically.

    I think GGG would have a good chance of beating Kovalev. 15lbs isn't the biggest difference in the world, Pacquiao beat up a 20lbs heavier Margarito and in the Heavyweight division often enough fighters 15lbs lighter than their opponent wins.

    Kovalev has said that Golovkin hits like a sledgehammer, so GGG could hurt Kovalev. On the other side of the coin, Kovalev could definitely hurt GGG too.

      that fight would cause Tunney, weltchmerz, fantastic, thuggery, slimshandy, golovkin and a few others to hyperventilate and likely jump off a bridge. So my answer is NSB.

      GGG because the fight would be well below 175 and Kov looks like he can't really go any lower.

            Kovalev takes him out, the size difference is too wide for Golovkin to compete.

                That's 15 lbs bro, assuming they rehydrate the same amount. You have to be a special fighter to overcome a weight disparity like that against another good fighter. Either that or have lighting fast handspeed/reflexes, which GGG doesn't have.
