Many Great Light Heavyweights went on to become a Champion at Heavyweight. Can Kovalev ever become a Heavyweight Champion?

Maybe, I think he can become one right now if he faces wilder. -

He be 189lbs on fn, so he's not a small LHW, if iirc he had several pounds on Hopkins, it was 189 vs 182 I think. But I think he can do CW. Also you gotta look at his age. He is 32. He can go up one weight class, but not multiple, especially not HW. You can find examples of LHW's moving up to HW but those are more like exceptions rather than the normal template. Like a guy who starts his career young at 147, it's common for them to go up to 160. But the weight jump from 175 to HW is much different. At CW they are already much bigger guys there than LHW, it's a huge difference, it's not like 7-8lbs, or 3lbs like in the lower weights where it seems like each pound is another weight class. Maximum at CW if i'm not mistaken is 200lbs. Now if we are talking about HW in the old era when they were smaller, Kovalev would be king, Marciano was 5'11" 190lbs. Now a guy like Marciano would be a CW.Comment

Not sure about a title but he could have success, if Adamek can have success at HW, I have no doubt Krusher can.Comment

he looked tiny in comparison to guillermo jones when they sparred, although he seemed to hold his own. the leap from lhw to cruiser is actually bigger than the leap from middle to lhw. i reckon he'll probably remain a lhw for his whole career unless maybe he loses and needs to reinvent himself or somethingComment

Seriously though once Wlad is gone that division is wide open and assuming Wlad takes out Fury and assuming Wilder aint the truth; you could see some smaller heavies take the ball and run with it. Kovalev vs. Wlad though would be a death sentence.Comment
