    On paper, Alvarez is number 1 for KOing Kovalev.

    I think it will be one of Bivol or Gvozdyk that comes out on top in the long run though.

    Right now H2H & on recent form:

    -Bivol
    -Alvarez
    -Beterbiev
    -Gvozdyk
    -Stevenson
    -Kovalev
    -Jack
    -Barrera

    Kova & Stevenson are declining thats why they are dropping on my list.. Stevenson can jump right back up with a win at the weekend though.

    Undefeated, although Browne should have lost to Kalajdzic. I probably should have left them off though.

    Browne should definitely have an asterisk by his 0.

    As for Yarde, we'll see when he gets in with a live body, there are so many glaring flaws..........Put him in with
    Thomas Williams, a punch drunk gunslinger (some danger but not too much).

    Bivol just edges this

    But Alvarez and Beterbiev are close behind, and the winner of Stevenson vs Gvozdyk is up there too. Although, Stevenson cant do 12 rounds any longer at a pace & looks close to the knackers yard.

    There's a song by the band The Smiths with the title 'I Never Had No One Ever'

    There's one with a similar title by The Anthony Yarde Band ft. Tunde Ajayi called 'I Never Fought No One Ever' (except a bunch of Eurobums with pathetically low KO percentages)
