How Kovalev would do in CW division?

200 Lbs is too high for Kovalev.

If the division is still at 190 Lbs, he'd dominate the division.

 

Super light heavy weight class

 

It's hard for me to declare Kovalev as an out-and-out underdog versus any cruiserweight. But is cruiserweight money as good as light heavyweight money? You have to admit the cruiserweight division tends to be boxing's equivalent to a "bargain bin".

 

Kovalev has some fights at 201 in the amateurs so I would not rule out the possibility. More realistically Beterbiev will be a CW in about a year, he is having serious issues making LHW.

 

I think he may be able to get to the top 10 and a world title shot but I don't he'd win because he could lose some of his power in a higher division as many other fighters have, and his chin is clearly not granite IMO.

 

No need. What big name money fights are at CW anyway? Forget it

 

He'd beat most but Im sure he'd be overpowered by the top 5 or so guys

 

I think we should have a new division to 190 lbs. Because there are boxer that are too big to 175 lbs and is too small for 200lbs. The difference is litle big between 175 and 200....

 

No more divisions, Boxers just need to adapt.

 

They don't need new divisions just switch some of the req weights.

Mw -165
SMW - 175
LHW - 185
Cruiser - 200

 

I agree

 

LHW -> CW and CW -> HW are the hardest jumps because the weight difference is huge. It's really unclear how he would fare. Tarver did well but he was freakishly tall at LHW to begin with and probably on PEDs.

 

Too much like common sense to be introduced.

 

Too small....
