    Am I crazy for thinking that Kovalev could stop Wilder?

    I could see him coming in around 200 and stopping Wilder.

    I think he should move up to heavyweight before his career is over and Wlad is gone.

    Beterbiev destroyed Wilder in amateurs. So yes Kovalev could shatter Wilders glass jaw.

    Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev has the tools.
    Wilder is a strong fast giant though.

    If Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev landed a right cross into wilders abdominal he would finish it early.

    let Kov clean out the lightheavy's before we start making guesses about how he would do at heavyweight

    No, I agree with you 100%, Kovalev by early KO! But the man is 82 with no boxing experience.

    ok thank you, a reasonable voice ffs :p

    you Kovalev fans are nuts, I love him but holy smokes slow down, he has lots of business to finish at LHW dudes :good

    here is the thing with heavyweights, they can suck compared to lighter weights but it doesn't matter because they are so big if they hit you with one punch the entire fight is changed :bbb

    Gotta agree with this. Wilder is big, fast, athletic and hits hard. Its not impossible Kov could beat him but it is improbable.

    Kovalev would leave Wilder wondering what day of the week it was
