Golovkin vs. Kovalev

[UpInThisYo]

Golovkin fights at 160lbs.
Kovalev fights at 175lbs.
Golovkin is 179cm tall.
Kovalev is 183cm tall.

If Golovkin were to move up 8lbs and Kovalev were to move down 7lbs, they could figt at 168lbs. Who do you got in this war?

Too tough to call but it's a pickem's fight. But considering the size disparity despite the weight I would have to peg Kovalev to win this.

Gennady is more measured, fluid and technically superior than kovalev. Kovalev was buzzed a few times against Hopkins. GGG has an excellent beard.

So even with the size advantage, I am a strong believer that gennady starches him.!

GGG is way too small.

Not happening, Kovalev's promoter has stated as much.

If it did happen at 168... very tough pick because we have no idea how moving up/down in weight would affect them. Will GGG be "blown up"? Will Kovalev be "drained"? Maybe both or neither?

The size difference alone makes this highly unlikely. GGG is a MW, Kovalev is a LHW and neither is huge for his weight class.

Kovalev couldn't make 168 and if he could he'd be a dead man walking.

Apparently Kovalev has to work damn hard to make 175

Neither is huge? Ok fair play gennady isn't a big middleweight but kovalev is a CW. He was massive in the Hopkins fight.

Still though gennadyevich starches him.

I am a big fan of both!

GGG is way too small.

Did you even see the picture with GGG standing beside Perez?
GGG is far from a small dude, he is very big for 160lbs and he likely would make 168/175 easy.

He certainly isn't small for 160
