    Kov looks terrible. He's 36 and he keeps boiling down to 175. Surely a move up would do him well?

    Same goes for Yarde, but a move down. Okay, it's dead down @ SMW, but he is carrying way too much muscle mass for a guy his size.

    Thoughts?

    Yeah, have Kovalev move up to fight Gassiev, that will end well.

    Last time I checked he was still a cruiserweight.

    In his own words, Kovalev is too small for cruiserweight. He's also too fragile at this stage..

    Move up to what? To cruiserweight, lol? Kovalev would be doomed there. Maybe boxing even needs another weight category between the LHW and CW.

    Maybe so. But SMW is dead, and not having to cut = more time spent on skill.
