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.
