You never know the circumstances. I mean at the time they sparred, it could have been between the death of the fighter or when Kovalev was coming off the first tough fight with Boone. So he may have been reluctant or lacked confidence at the time.
You would never notice that now though the way he fights. He all out attacks.

They sparred multiple times, he clearly was discouraged by GGG's pressure, defence and sheer power. If he claims he's as tough as a tank I presume that means he threw the kitchen sink at Golovkin and he didn't blink, meanwhile probably punched Kovalev in the chin in the process.
There's no need to assume an injury or illness when Golovkin spars LHW and hits as hard or harder than them, it's kind of obvious what happened.

something better and manlier than broner vs malignaggi trash talk.
that was ghey.
GGG only spars SMW & LHWs I thought? I thought MWs couldn't take his power?
Anyways, Kovalev is a beast. Hopkins is ducking him. I'd like to see a GGG v. Kovalev fight in the next year or two.
