I've brought this question up a couple of times in the context of comparing Stevensons and Kovalevs resumes this year. Bellew has a much better resume, but Sillakhs career went into nose-dive after the Grachev loss - how might he have done with better management? Which is the better fighter head to head - in short who has the tougher fight on their hands tomorrow night in your opinion. If both Stevenson and Kovalev should emerge victorious who should get the most credit for the win? FWIW Silky Sillakh has fought 4 times already this year (against fairly poor opposition) and looked to be trying to move up to Cruiserweight before being initially contacted by main events back in June.
i definantly think that syllakh is the better win...however H2H i think bellew pulls it off against him...the chin is the main difference to me... bellew has that get hit but get back up kinda chin....sillakh has that get hit and loose your legs kind of chin... i think H2H bellew KO sillakh...or would get out boxed by sillakh...one or the other but im leaning toward KO by bellew
Sillakh is the better and more dangerous boxer and I think beats Bellew 4 out of 5 times. Lots of skills, but a questionable chin.
