    No. He has not a great chin, some people knew it since his am-career. And another moment which was widely exposed, is that he doesn't gain enough weight..

      Not with those heavy hitters. His chin hasn't been good for a couple years now.

        Not even close. Especially with how his chin has turned to dust

          Who's been saying it's a weak division? I don't think it is, but even if it were that 25Lb jump is hell even on a guy in their prime who can bulk up fairly easily.

          Nah, man, Sergei's done. Even if the charges somehow mysteriously disappear he's never gonna go back to being the cold blooded mfer who terrorised LHW between '13 and '16, he's still a quality boxer, but without the will to commit the big guys would just walk him down.

              No. His credibility and sellability are hovering around zero now.

                Sorry but NO. Kov is far to weak (couldn't correctly clinch a smaller man in canelo) what makes you think he would be able to clinch a even bigger stronger guy. Kov has little muscle tone and always looks dehydrated... the weight would surely help him but his chin is glass and his body is just to vulnerable. i honestly think its time to step away before he really gets hurt.

                    He just got knocked out cold by a guy who couldn't make a dent in G and Jacobs at 160. So I'll go with......hell no.
