Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev-Nadjib Mohammedi: Pre-Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

by Cliff Rold - Some divisions appeal by being good from top to bottom. That’s where the most excitement lies. Even if the very best fight doesn’t come together right away, there is enough depth to make the wait worth the while as multiple fighters mix and match.

Light Heavyweight is not that division right now.

There are new faces emerging like Artur Beterbiev and Eleider Alvarez, and some established veterans like Andrzej Fonfara Isaac Chilemba, but for the most part this is a one-fight class. The mixing and matching has run its course. Adonis Stevenson versus Sergey Kovalev for all the marbles at 175 lbs. is all that really matters.

We’ve seen enough of everything else. Kovalev has gone through Bernard Hopkins and Jean Pascal. Stevenson bested Chad Dawson, Tavoris Cloud, and Fonfara. We know where the class of the class lies.

They’re not fighting anytime soon, if ever. Network nonsense and promotional baloney have seen both sides of the aisle move the fight farther away. In the fall, Stevenson is set to face the dreaded TBA. Kovalev is keeping belts with mandatories.

Is there anything in this mandatory on Saturday night (HBO, 10 PM EST/PST) that could change the conversation at Light Heavyweight? [Click Here To Read More]

I wonder who would get an A+ in power if Kovalev didn't manage to

Maybe GGG and Mathysse?

Maybe GGG and Mathysse?

I think Kovalev probably has better power then both of them. Matthysse has real good power but provodnikov walked through it and zab judah and devon survived alltough barely. Kovalev proved his power at the highest level, golovkin haven't yet.
