It's sad how some of these fanboys are now acting like Kovalev is a top P4P talent for going the distance and having a close fight with Ward. That's not how this works. They really just want Ward on top to stop GGG from having that throne (although Ward still deserves it).
Rungvisai beat Roman G., and he's not even P4P top 10. You don't get as much credit for struggling against a fighter moving up. There exists a concept of bone density & muscle mass. That's why Kovalev is in the back of the top 10 in my book.
Hell, Kovalev best wins are against Pascal and 50 year old Hopkins. Neither one is even a top 5 fighter, with Hopkins probably barely even top 10 in the division at this point. Kovalev needs to establish himself the top dog in his division before he gets that high P4P status.
