Name some 175s in history you would confidently pick to beat Kovalev

Kovalev is God.

 

nor would I.

u've replied 2 the wrong post.

 

prob chad dawson...john scully too

 

na ive already roasted gimp for it.

to say charles, foster, moore, foster, spinks with confidence can beat kovalev is fair enough.

to say he loses to every decent lhw holder of the last 30years is a joke, unless he can back it up.

 

you've replied to the wrong post

 

nope.

 

What does that mean?

 

they think that kovalev with atomic bombs and the skills to land em cant upset these guys.
i aint thrown off at all, i see how good he is. its very hard to nullify kovalev.

 

Qawi was a beast he'd definitely beat Kov. He gave a prime Spinks and Holyfield hell and wasn't afraid of heavyweights. Quick hands and could crack too.

 

Qawi would put Kovalev through a meat-grinder. I am still wondering what Kovalev has done to be rated so high.

 

the problem with kovalev for some people is that he didn't fight 100 years ago and had barely any footage of him and a few newpaper reports. if kovalev had that some of these guys would consider him an all time great

 

What country are you from?

 

Delusional nostalgics at work again.

Kovalev would butcher the likes of Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore by the virtue of being a 21st century elite athlete. Saying that they would beat him is like saying Jesse Owens would outsprint Usain Bolt or that Italian national football team from WC 1934 would beat German national football team from WC 2014. Those guys had caveman training and lived in a time when people thought smoking is actually good for your health.

I guess some people are just to stupid to grasp the concept of progress.

There's a reason why in every sport records get broken all the time with every new era. Modern boxing is far superior to any boxers in the past, yet by logic of some people all the advancements in sports science, training methods, facilities, equipment, nutrition and physiotherapy count for nothing even though there is massive empiric evidence of progress in every sport where you can measure it objectively (olympic records have all been improved in recent years).
