Could Kova win a HW Title one day???

Kovalev ko 2 Burger King

 

This isn't the 90's anymore, so he can beat the #1 HW. But he could pull a RJJ and pick a weak one once the belts are shattered post Klitschko era.

 

No way

 

Not more likely than Kathy Duva winning a HW title. Then again if WBA outsources their belt production to China and increases its output from 6 belts per division to 100, anything can happen.

 

How do you know that? Have you ever seen Povetkin at LHW? We have no idea who well Kovalevs power and chin will do at 210-220 lbs.

 

Chris Byrd got a Heavyweight Title ... and he was a middleweight and super welterweight as amateur.

Roy Jones got a title, too.

Spinks gone from 175 to 200lb and dethroned Larry Holmes


Kovalev would be a smaller heavyweight than Tomasz Adamek or Chris Byrd.
But with a bit luck, he could capture a HW title. But it would be very difficult against a 230lb-or-more-guy (Klitschko, Fury, Pulev etc.)

 

He's gonna need a helluva lot of juice and opportunistic match making to pull that off.

 

Kovalev is a small light heavyweight. He should stick to175. A lot of good fights could be made there.

 

Too short and his power wouldn't transfer.

 

If there will be a weak HW Champ like Tyson Fury in the past Klitschko era i think he could!

 

Byrd is underrated, had exteremly high ring IQ, Kolaev doesn't. Kovalev can't win a heavyweight title.

 

No

 

He woulda beat the Byrd that Wlad beat when he became champ.

Unknown 175 pounder Shaun George battered Byrd not long after ffs.

Hell , even Cleverly would have beaten that Byrd.

 

Seriously
Nothing happened to Byrd physically
No two division weight drop suddenly

 

There was no beating

That pushed him into the gorge

No Wlad jabs, hooks, or right hands he'd been eating

Before he faced Mr. George
