For sec, i thought that pic was of Alvarez was Tito Trinidad.
KO Kovalev. I don't have anyone beating him at 175, unless Ward returns.
K.OLD Kovalev. His stamina has been a giant weakness for every single one of his last FOUR fights that have gone rounds. He looks there for the taking to me. Ward fought him at the right time, which IMO was no accident, he would not have fought him at all otherwise, that's how these frauds do it, only fighting old or otherwise disadvantaged opponents then complaining when they don't get the same credit that TRUE all time greats did when they beat TRUE elite PRIME opponents.
I will agree though, there are still few more dangerous in the sport for the first 3 rounds of a fight than Kovalev. The problem is, once opponents know that they can win so long as they just survive the first 3 rounds, they just fight to survive that long. Plus, even prime Kovalev needed more than 3 rounds to get rid of Pascal, and he didn't get rid of Hopkins at all, meaning that even in his prime he was always dependent on good stamina to keep the attack going into the mid rounds for him to knock out top guys. Now that he lacks that stamina, I think it's a big problem for him.
