Calzaghe's workrate would have overwhelmed Kovalev and knocked him out.

knock really no way. slappy joe may have out pointed him just because of his work rate. but the percentage is high that he gets ktfo

 

I'd agree Joe wins, probably gets dropped in round 1 though, that was his thing at 175

 

that was actually part of Joe's tactics , lulled he's opponents into a false sense of security and thinking it was going to be an easy night. as the rounds go by their thinking only need to land one good punch, he's slaps aren't hurting me

then before you know it the final bells rings and joe has slapped you senseless

 

MVC, After your "Brook KO9" thread it's hard to take you seriously at this moment it time.

I'll probably forget that thread in a week or two but it's still in my memory at the moment.

Also, can't you give your reasons, some sort breakdown instead of just saying on every thread "discuss"?

 

There is nothing to indicate how Joe would perform at this level of LHW,
Great SMW, but Kovalev held a size and skill advantage, Kovalev is too
big and long for Joe's style to be effective.
