    I know boxrec says the difference is only 1 inch. 6 foot to 5'11

    but kovalev seems to look a lot taller than pascal and taller than 6 foot, while Adonis doesn't look 5'11

    what is everyones take on the real size difference as I think it could play a apart in the fight

    Boxrec is inaccurate. It also says that Kovalev's reach is 72½″. His arms look much longer than that.

    I suspect Kovalev is a little taller then 6 foot as he looked almost as tall as the 6'1" Hopkins and Stevenson is more like 5'10" as he looks a little shorter than Pascal who's 5'10.5".

    Kovalev's own website says he's exactly 6'. Stevenson is probably 5'10''. That's a significant difference.

    kovalev looks to be 6 foot 2 close to 6 foot3 not the 6 foot close to 6 foot 1 he is listed as

    Lmao, you think Kovalev is 6'2/6'3, that's 188-191cm tall? :lol:
    He's probably about 184-185cm tall so 6.05 to 6'1 inches tall, and Stevenson is probably 5'10 - 178cm.

    Fighters and managers can play games. I'd say SK's reach is more like 75", but some fighters think its less and they pay for it.

    In their case, you'd be better off focusing on their respective reach.

    Kovalev = 72 1/2''

    Stevenson = 77''

    How will Kovalev adapt to a Southpaw, with also great power, that has more than a 4'' reach advantage.

    Kovalev should compensate by his great sense of distance, but still...

    If kovalevs own website says he's 6' , then he's prob 6 feet.

    Kovalev fights like a greatly agile and nimble 7' beast. He does come off well over 6' buy he's truly only a couple "'s taller than ggg who is listed at 5'10".

    Chickenson, I doubt is more than 5'9/10". He was also pretending to be held back, so wasn't standing straight up. .

    Pascal, also tried staying far away from kovalev but no where to go so he spent the whole night bent well forward. Like he was trying to tie his shoes, but we know he doesn't know how to do that

    Kovalev did look quite a bit taller last night when they were in the ring.

    I know, must had trained with his scumbag boyfriend that took his facking bro. I think that just about every time I feel like strangling him through the TV. He gets major slack for that lingering pain that's endlessly digging at / in him..
