      His chin is pretty good but not iron. He must be careful against guys like Stevenson and Pascal. But their chins definitely can't handle his power. He just has to get there first with the most.

            Boone definitely can crack mate, ask Dre Ward! But I do think he's got some question marks there, that's why I think the Stevenson fight is interesting!

                Question mark is a better term than suspect, suspect implies it has been proven to not really hold up under scrutiny. While question mark is just an unknown.

                I think his chin is much more of an unknown that known weakness. I always thought his neck was not thick enough to take big power shots, but he isn't that easy to reach.

                    I have heard that Boone hurt Kovalev badly in the first fight but he can crack and who knows maybe he doesn't have the best chin but it could still be average Boone is a hard hitter. In tHe ams he was pretty badly knocked down or out (looked liked a brutal Ko then the video ended), and that is a bit concerning just in how hard he went down.

                      Kovalev's offense is so good, almost nobody can get to that chin. You can tell he doesn't respond well to getting hit, the way his head jerks around, not much stability.

                      Beterbiev is the only guy in the division that isn't scared of Kovalev, I think he knows something we don't, I feel like he has the perfect style to defeat Kovalev, to beat almost anybody.

                      Kovalev actually hasn't fought anybody with power and class if you look at his resume. Hopkins, Caparello, Agnew, Cleverly, Campillo etc. all very light punchers or average at best, nobody that could make him pay. His resume has been cherry picked so far imo.
                      He has fought anyone who has been willing to get in the ring with him, that's the opposite of cherrypicked.

                      Cloud is a puncher, he turned the fight down. Stevenson is a puncher, he turned the fight down. Pascal is a puncher, he's next.
