foster was most dangerous in exchanges. kovalev doesnt stand and trade he keeps his opponent on the end of his punches.
Good question... Glen Johnson, Adamek back in the day. Maybe Tarver. Great chins. Decent power. No chance of outboxing Sergey.
This statement shows your fundamental lack of understanding of the sport, if you can't see that a fighter with Kovalev's incredibly deceptive style and skillset would always be a problem for BHop, then there's no hope for you. The mere fact that you still think Kovalev is even remotely close to Pavlik in terms of skills proves that you and most other hypers of slick fighters, really don't know what the **** you're talking about and just happen to like Floyd and you pretend like you do.:yep
Stand and trade? the only boxer I'd give that advise against Kova would be Beterbiev, who I think would win such a battle. For others that's just suicide. I can't think of a strategy that would work against him for other current boxers, other then clinch, clinch, clinch, spoil, spoil, spoil and hope you get lucky with a counter or crooked judging.
