Kovalev is clearly the better fighter p4p IMO but this fantasy matchup happens at 25lbs above kovalev's current fighting weight
Bellew. Kovalev isn't the crusher people believed he is. He won against Ward, but he did not fight like his reputation was. Bellew would be too much, especially in a weight class Kovalev isn't used to fight.
Gotta say Bellew seems a bit of a beast at Cruiser but Kovalev is also a beast and the better Boxer of the 2.
Kov stops him in less than 4 rounds. Hits cleaner , quicker and straighter than anyone he has fought. Its not all about power.
WTH? Bellew couldn't beat Stevenson and people think he beats probably best fighter at this division? Bellew would need another divine intervention like he had with Haye.
All the people saying KOVALEV OMG are the same people who picked Haye this weekend. We have no idea how krusher would be at Cruiser, and we know Bellew is a very good one. Don't be so quick to predict.
You're proving more and more lately, basically every time you open your mouth that you really really don't know **** about Boxing. Ward in any weight class destroys Bellew, Kovalev does the same. There are levels in this sport, and Bellew isn't and NEVER WILL BE on theirs.
I think Kovalev beats Bellew too, although I suspect it's not an early KO because the heavier Bellew seems to be able to take a lot of punishment. I can't believe how many times Bellew has defied my predictions though, so if I'm honest I'd be a teeny bit concerned as I'd REALLY want Kovalev to KO Bellew.
Kovalev has zero wins at CW and is totally unproven. He has no case against a guy who beat Maternak and destroyed Mackabu.
