GGG vs Hopkins,Kovalev and Stevenson at 175

[Dirk Diggler UK]

It does come down to what you think of Dawson at that point. Coming off draining himself and getting beat down badly by Ward, plus his performances since, I think Dawson was pretty much done when Stevenson caught him. I don't think much of the win.

Other than that, Kovalev's opponents are overall better IMO. Campillo beat Cloud. Cleverly beat Bellew. Sillakh, Agnew, and Caparello probably aren't as good as Fonfara.

It's at least an argument either way, again depending on what you think of the Dawson fight.

Campillo didn't look the same fighter when he fought Kovalev. He was having problems outside the ring and didn't arrive in America until a couple of days before the fight if I remember correctly. Also - he got knocked out by Fonfara apparently?

He would have a good chance to beat them but why? He is a small middleweight and the only way I think he could lose is to make a ****** move by going all the way to 175 and fight the best of these 20 pound bigger men. As long as he stays at 154, 160 and 168 I think he can beat anyone at these weights. He could beat Hopkins at any weight in my opinion because Hopkins is not a full sized 175 pounder and he fought at 160 until he was over 40 years old. Kovalev at 175 would be a very dangerous fight for GGG so why should he risk it?

Hopkins started his career at 175. He has a much larger frame than GGG plust the fact that he's infinitely more skilled than anyone GGG has faced.

GGG isn't even a big middleweight. No way we should expect him to move two divisions and face the best fighters in those divisions. No one expected Marvin Hagler to fight light heavyweights let alone super middleweights so why should we think about GGG fighting them? GGG should just stay at middleweight and dominate all challengers.

How is he not big? You mean not tall? He's bigger than these guys. Him fighting MW's is like Broner fighting Lightweights and it's pretty plain to see. Hagler might not have fought LHW's but Hearns sure did and CW's.

Great point!
