Kovalev is unquestionably the weakest LHW champion. He's 37 bro. Do you even watch sports outside of boxing? That's ancient for an athlete. This isn't golf. Bivol is undefeated, barely ever lost a round his entire career, never been on the deck either. Beterbiev is undefeated, barely ever lost a round his entire career, been on the deck twice but never close to stopped. Gvozdyk is undefeated, coming off one of the best wins in the sport a KO vs Stevenson (who for some reason aged better than Kovalev, still wasn't at his peak but was in good form and his chin held up to the 11th round).
Kovalev has been stopped twice in his last 6 fights. Not only that, his stamina, and then his chin, gave way halfway through the fight. He doesn't just gas, he gasses early. The fact 40 year old Stevenson had twice the gas tank of Kovalev vs Ward and Alvarez I tells you just how vulnerable is compared to the other champs right now.
