why are people saying Kovalev is less durable then Stevenson

Kovalev's feet are pretty quick, I don't think he's totally bereft of defence but he's obviously not that hard to hit either.I think both fighters are soft. Kovalev is a far superior offensive fighter, his offense is his defense. Once he starts hitting you, you don't want to throw back, so you just cover up and hope to survive.
I think Stevenson has a chance to KO him, that straight right hand, very dangerous especially in exchanges. Another poster posted vids of him being KO'd in the Am's, from what I heard he was dropped very hard against Boone, he was knocked down against Caparello as well.
Both guys will lose to Beterbiev, he is a bit slow on his feet, but a very powerful, strong fighter, durable as hell. He got robbed in the amateurs a few times. Saw him rock guys like Usyk in head gear, that takes a lot of power.
What makes Kovalev-Stevenson fun is the very fact that they can knock each other out. There would be huge tension in that fight.
I think Kovalev stands a better chance of neutralising Stevenson's offence than the opposite. Stevenson is one-dimensional, it's just that the one dimension he has is seriously impressive.
Fairly sure we'll see this fight in time. There's not enough money elsewhere to make it worth Stevenson's while to keep ducking.Comment
