    Well all three are world level fighters with good/ great chins and solid defences

    The fact he is scoring KD's against this type of opposition is proof enough of his punching power.

      Not just some will insist he won all three fights. The big majority think he won all three fights because he did. Ward won that fight about the same way Bradley beat Pacquiao with very bias judges. It's mainly devoted Ward fans who are pleased with him getting the win.

        Well, he fades in the later rounds. He looked like **** in the second half of the Hopkins fight.

            Kov doesn't have to ko everyone. If he outpoints his opponents like he diud against ward he should get a decision.

            Just cos he don't ko you is no excuse to rob him

              Because of Kovalev's stamina issues, he fades.
              Andre Ward and Virgil said it before the fight that would be his weakness and one of wards strenght.
              Funny doe that ward the supposedly ''masterboxer'' couldn't hang with Kovalev when he had full energy and had to bank on his stamina winning the fight, wrestling and clinching so he could land a body punch..

              Also, all the 3 boxers you mentioned are all about defence and has superb chins, yet all of them where knocked down.
              When they taste his power they go in their defensive mode and don't give a **** about the fans, they know most black will support them anyway if they cheat or win by robbery

                They are very tricky and awkward guys. To me, what it comes down to besides that, is that Kovalev doesn't apply enough pressure and doesn't have too creative of an offensive arsenal. He's good at what he does but I always want him to do more.

                  I feel it has more to do with the opponents. All 3 are tricky and hard to pin down. Good chins, good defence, never been stopped before. They're fighters who know how to keep trouble at bay.

                    Its simple,they are wworldclass fighters ,and if Kova dont get you clean and then just work on you while you are dazed ,he wont KO,there is not many Jacksons in boxing.At its cuse of lack of body work from him,shame cuse he hurt Ward bad with right to the body one time.Its just about Body Work to make it easier ,drop them theyr hands.I think he won with Ward 115--112
