Where do you rate Sergey Kovalev?

[The Hammer]

What level do you see Kovalev?

[aldo5408]

Do you mean p4p ? He's number 2 or 3

[-2 Scrappy-]

Top 3 P4P in the world, #1 Light Heavyweight. If he beats Ward he'll probably have a claim to #1 P4P. If he beats Stephenson too afterwards he could go down as one of the greatest Light Heavyweights of all time.

EDIT(just saw the poll): Skill wise I'd say right between A-A+. He's not the prettiest boxer ever but he's one of the most vicious punchers in the game today not to mention he outboxed Hopkins. Who finally did show his age but Hopkins is so highly skilled his ring IQ makes any fight competitive. I think his win over Hopkins is better then Calzaghes because Kovalev actually outpointed him while Calzaghe threw a million slaps just for the sake of throwing.

I mean how good is he measured against all fighters of the past and present, good and bad.

[MisterPullman]

Definitely elite. There are no exceptions.

The man is P4P #1 in my book too

[Real King Kong]

Somewhere between b+ and a-. He only lacks elite competition at this point.

So out boxing a master boxer at his own game wasn't enough? Okay he's old but he'd beat just about anybody else or give them a hard time. While Kovalev literally won every round on every score card.

Hopkins aside.. How about iron chin pascal? The one who's never been dropped let ALONE KO'd before Kovalev. Kovalev knocked him out TWICE. This is the same pascal who had a war with Froch (Froch couldn't put him away) and the same pascal who beat the **** out of Dawson BEFORE ANYONE ELSE.

pascal also schooled bute who just gave jack and degale much tougher fights and ward ducked.
