    The only one with that style is Provo. I don't get how people watch GGG and only see him as a seek and destroy guy.. I mean take his most recent fight, it was almost 100% pure boxing..

    Kovalev also, I don't believe he is seek and destroy at all either, watch his Hopkins fight, was that seek and destroy to you?

    I've never seen Shavikov do a toney-Roll... If anything Shavikov is more like Provodnikov.

    How many fights have you seen? :huh

    Shafikov is fairly slick. Not similar to Ruslan IMO.

    If you're basing that off of his performance against Vazquez that's not the best performance to judge him from like IB said he's slicker than you think he is at times. He's a far better all around boxer than Ruslan.

    Seek and destroy fighters are Guys who stand right in front of you with little head movement setting you up with pure accuracy and power imo. It doesnt hav to be a wildman. GGG does not move around the ring like a Floyd Mayweather, or a Ward. Kovalev is right in front of you and applies effective pressure with Little movement or head movement. Very similar to GGG. Kostya TYszu was the same way, Very methodical very patient fighter with little head movement while staying right in front of you. Very Similar to both GGG and Kovalev in those aspects also being a devastating puncher as well. Provo Moves in straight lines with little movement and Defense, comes at you with Power in both hands while taking shots to get shots in.. Very similar to All the above that ive stated.. All these fighters ae willing to walk through punches to get their pound of flesh and that is the correlation between the 4 imo.

    I don't agree with that honestly, Provo doesn't apply intelligent pressure at all, he just comes at you. Kovalev, GGG and Tszyu on the other hand all do. They are all defensively responsible fighters who counter whereas Provo is more of a brawler. And they don't move around laterally in a way that Ali does say but they still do in a more subtle manner, Provo pretty much walks in a straight line.
