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.
