Who can beat Kovalev?

[1lparm]

It would be funny to watch old man Popskins walking through his punches and clowning own him during the process of giving GGG a boxing lesson.

GGG is lightyears faster than Kov though and he hits arguably just as hard. I see Hop having major issues with the speed of GGG he might retire the old man.

Tons of fighters would've beaten prime Hop.

RJJ, SRR, Hagler, monzon, Calzaghe all beat up and dominate...the list goes on.

naw none of those fighters. RJJ fought him early in his career.

There is no evidence at all to suggest he hits anywhere near as hard as any hard hitting LHW and its not as if GGG is blindingly fast or hard to find. He won't find it easy to try and position Hopkins where he wants him and his aggression would be taken advantage of I think.

Bruh for real.

At 160 Monzon, Hagler and Calazaghe put Hopkins to sleep. He's an ATG but he's just outside the top 10 ever at mw.

Styles make fights...


Paulie Malignaggi would take Kovalev deep and win via UD.

ward schools him, stevenson flattens him and golovkin hammers him.

i think pascal has a decent chance in a rematch as well, he was giving kovalev all sorts of problems and the longer the fight went the more it would have favored pascal. if it wasnt for that BS stoppage who knows what would have happened.

kovalevs defense is below average, he has no inside game at all and he fights completely in straight lines. the things he does well he does extraordinarily well but there are several more well rounded fighters who would take him out.

I saw the same flaws as you unlike so many other fans. Respect to you. Green sent.

kovalev nullified and beat up hopkins on the inside. btw it's laughable to claim that pascal even deserves a rematch. he was outboxed and ultimately almost concussed. if it hadn't been stopped he would have been laid out unconscious within seconds (which i would have liked to see, but still). all he did in the whole fight was wing in a handful of hail mary shots that were easily digested by kovalev anyway
