    Considering he's around 5'11 and probably comes into the ring at 190, 8 percent body fat, yeah that's big. Most guys would need to be lifting for about 6 years to achieve that size.

    Kovalev weighed 181lbs for his last fight, Stevenson was 189lbs for his IIRC.

    No worries. I wonder what Stevenson's walk around weight is if he's coming in that heavy on fight night? Tony Bellew only weighed a pound more than him for their fight and Bellew used to fight at HW as an amateur and is known for being very big for his division.

    His walk around is probably 195-200 if he's fighting at 189.

    Kovalev walks him down and crushes him. Thats why he's ducking.

    In an interview about a month after his fight with Stevenson, Bellew said he was "17 pounds more than he was in the ring". So 207. :shock:

    I imagine Stevenson isn't far off.

    Yeah I reckon it's probably about 200lbs.

    I wonder whether Bellew held the weight well or if he looked a bit pudgy weighing that much? I reckon it was probably the former.
