:good Kovalev KO's him in the first couple of rounds. I wish Stevenson didn't have such a glass jaw because I'd love to see him take a sustained beating. :yep
Crawford has risen most from where he was at the start of the year, but he hasn't approached the levels of the other listed fighters. It has to be Stevenson and Kovalev for where they were viewed at years start and to what they've done in such short time to clamor for a potential fight between them so much.
1. Stevenson 2. Prov 3. Kovalev Rigo was known to be outstanding, it's just that most didn't expect to see an easy almost-shutout against Donaire. Prov was an unknown quanitity and had Bradley on the verge of defeat with most cards on ESB being no more than two points apart. Really good boxer apparently who easily cruised past Alvarado. Kovalev about the same. Known for killing a guy (I saw the Simakov fight live as it was televised urgh), he turned out the real deal with disposing of paper champ Cleverly. We'll see how things turn out. Garcia's win's are terrific as well. Man, I dunno.
Kovalev... Just because he came out of no where and showed power, chin, patient slickness and wierd ring antics.
