Sergey Kovalev at Heavyweight..?

[[T][B][E]]

How would Kovalev Fair with 11 more pounds of muscle in the heavyweight ranks. If he manages to unify, it would be amazing if he moved up. He reyhydrates to 190 lbs, and you only need to be 200.01 lbs to fight at Heavyweight. Could he Stop Wlad if hits him flush. Or hurt Wlads body with his lethal jabs, or hooks when Wlad try's to hug?

What's your thoughts?

Maybe thirty years ago he'd have a chance, guys nowadays are just way too big. He'd get murdered by wlad. 6'6 245 vs 6' 205 probably wont end well. That being said I think he'd do great at cruiser or vs smaller heavies.

He's too small.

I'd prefer to see Golovkin get a crack at a HW. He has been sparring and beating the hell out of HWs for years now. I would literally go all in on Golovkin against a Klitschko, that's how confident I am of Golovkin's greatness. His power and chin are just too much.

fair enough he's just too small for Wlad, however at 205 I would say Kovalev definatly has the power to flop Wlad, if he lands. Look at David Haye vs Valuev.

How tall is povotkin? He just need good strength and condition coach to pack more mucle on.

If wlad was as **** as valuev I'd agree lol

If he can convince John Ruiz to come out of retirement, then yes he has a chance to beat a hw.
Hell why not a match with Adamek?

[Citizen Koba]

Kovalev is very good and has great power - I suspect he could make it as a top Cruiserweight - despite at 6'0" and usually fighting more like 183/4 (though he looked fine at 188lbs) not even being a large LHW.

HW is too big though. Even the Cruisers who have had some success at HW (such as Haye, USS and Adamek) have been more like 6'2" or 6'3".

Not to say Sergei wouldn't have some success, but his build and mobile kinda style don't seem (IMO) suitable for piling the kinda bulk required on a 6' frame.

He fights big and tall, his style wouldn't transition well when he's suddenly the tiniest guy in the division.
