Sergey Kovalev vs. Adonis Stevenson: Who would have won?

At that time Kovalev was much the better boxer and I think that would be the difference. A lot of hype has been made about Kovalev's power but I think its his control of distance, jab, and timing that made him so dangerous. Stevenson would be a live underdog but the correct call would be Kovalev.

 

Probably. Just like Canelo Alvaroid.

 

Cool story brah but this isn't a Canelo thread ... fail

 

Ahh....so we just sweep Canelo's drug use under the table? Gotcha.

 

Nahh the thing is this has nothing to do with Canelo this is about Kovaped

 

It was a massive disappointment that they never fought each other. This would have been a massive boost to their resumes and given fans the fight they were all eager to see. I think Kovalev would have won though.

 

one of the big fights that got away

 

Nah, it's about PED use....and both KovaPED and Clenelo are guilty.

 

It being about Kovalev, can link it to Canelo, you ****in specimen. Did you miss when they fought?

 

I think Ward also kayos him tbh. He can stand up to Stevenson's left hand, and if he can grind down and stop a 33 year old Kov he can do the same to a 36 year old (start of WBC reign) Stevenson.

 

Kovalev was the better all-around fighter but Adonis had that great equalizer. Who knows how Kovalev would’ve handled being drilled by a couple of those. I would’ve made Kovalev a slight favorite.

 

Would’ve really enjoyed watching Ward outsmart and outbox Stevenson.

 

Average jaw vs. supreme power; near-glass jaw vs. near-supreme power.

If a betting man, I'm going with Kovalev every time.

 

I’m with you but I wouldn’t have bet a whole lot on this one.
