Kovalev's power must be mad overrated

Right. I never could put a finger on why Kovalev was so highly rated. I’ve heard announcers say “he’s a big LH” but I just didn’t see it. Was more a jack of all trades than master of any. I thought he beat Ward the first time. He may have been close on the cards vs Nelo but I don’t think anyone was surprised it was him that hit the canvas in a heap.Kovalev wasn't a physically strong guy to begin with, even in his prime. He has a weak core, and despite having many knockouts, he was never a one-punch KO artiste. He is just rangy, has punishing/stiff jabs, and has the skills like good positioning/placement of punches. Having such attributes could also lead to KOs than just having brute punching power.Comment
