    Is Kovalev now considered the weakest of the 175 champs?

    What ya think?

    All the young guns have titles at 175 now and then theres Kovalev who many had written off after he got KO vs Alvarez a little while back.

        Yea I think he is considered the weak link at 175 now. Crazy how boxing works like that all the time. You can be the man in a division & the weak link a few years later. Sh^t changes on a dime in boxing.

          I think Beterbiev is, personally. Wouldn't be shocked if all of the other guys beat Kovalev though.

            I wouldnt call him the weakest link and if you think that you were probably one of the nerds who get lost in the hype and dont look at boxers for what they are. The only thing that changed is that the casuals now dont think he is invincible and now think their some others fighters in the division who can possibly beat him.

              He is. He already lost to one of the young guns so it’s not hard to imagine him losing again.

                  Gvozdyk is the weakest to me.

                  I actually favor a controlled Kovalev who doesn't gas himself throwing punches over the rest of them.

                  He's got really good skills and doesn't even need to put anything on his punches for them to be thudding shots. Its actually extremely discouraging if he fights properly, I still consider him the best.

                    I think his performance is the most unpredictable at this point. In his 2 performances against Alvarez, for instance, I'd say he ranged from weakest to toughest.
