    A glass jaw is someone like Khan, where even small punches buckles his knees. Or a graze. The shot Kovalev was hit with was a ****ing BOMB.

    I haven't seen enough of him to be honest. I saw him getting slapped around in the ams by a guy alot smaller but that could just be lack of experience. Some big guys dont know how to fight like big guys. Some have to learn that.
    Low self esteem can be a factor.

    what do you think?

    I don't even understand the point of disputing this matter?

    If someone who's fought both of them TWICE says that one hits harder than the other (in this case Kovalev being the superior power puncher),
    than what really is the point in trying the contemplate the answer for a question that's been already provided by the ultimate arbiter and determiner
    of the topic at hand?:think

    I would have thought most people would be biased in Kovalev's favor given Stevenson's past. :conf

    It's alright, not glass from what I've seen.

    So why do you think Khan has a glass jaw?

    Khan survived vs Lamont/Maidana, didn't go down once. He knocked both of them once though each.

    I've seen him wobbled on relatively light punches. and he's wobbled in just about every fight. He's also tough though. He resists going all the way out.
    Like holyfiled. In one of the fights against Bowe, he basically fought an entire round knocked out. They say building up tyour neck mucles gives you bigger whiskers. I'm not sure about it. But I know it can vary from fighter to fighter.
    I like Khan, but even when he looks good he manages to almost get KO'd.

    Sure he looked vulnerable vs Diaz but was he really hurt vs Lamont? No

    He was only hurt for a while in r10 vs Maidana. Maidana clocked him with something huge.

    Khan definitely doesn't have good punch resistance but it isn't absolute dog**** either.



    Anyways, now we're having a good conversation. No trash talking, nothing vulgar.

    I don't think it's a surprise when I say Stevenson can knock Kovalev out with 1 punch. It's been shown that these two can be knocked out.

    This is just that, BOTH OF THEM have so much power it's ridiculous. Stevenson knocked Chad out with 1 punch. It was actually a huge surprise, didn't think it would happen tbh.

    Attov was a rangy southpaw, Stevenson is a rangy southpaw.

    Attov carries good power, Stevenson carries ENORMOUS power like Kovalev

    So why do you think it's impossible for Kovalev to get knocked?

    I think it is a genuine 50/50 fight.

    I actually think Stevenson may be overrated as a puncher.

    Good grief. If you think that, you're insane. The dude hits like a mule just like Kovalev.

    I dont think its impossible. Obviously. All im saying is that he doesnt have a glass jaw. If you watch that clip with Atoev, that does not even look like Kovalev. Kovalev looks totally different now. Did you see his hands when he got hit? He would never do that now. And lastly, I do think Stveenson could KO him. But I dont think he'll have a chance. I think kovalev will be on him like flies on **** and get him out quickly. And I think Adonis thinks that too.

    It might be 50/50 if Stevenson wasnt full of self-doubt.

    Disagree. But we'll agree to disagree.

    I think Stevenson is a better boxer than Kovalev is. And I think you can agree with that.

    I think Stevenson can wear him down with good punches and possibly get him out there by the 4th/5th round.

    Sillakh was actually outboxing Kovalev until he got demolished in the 2nd.

    I think almost everyone had Sillakh 10-9.

    How many people have pressured Stevenson?
