DaGale is very talented but Kovalev would hit him so hard they'd have to send a search party to outer space to find his head.
I do believe that. You thinking glass chin Wilder is even remotely close to being as good as AJ MBE however would suggest you need to get your head looked at...:think
AJ has been rocked several times and stopped as many times as Wilder has.:good He's as big a hypejob as Wilder is, only possibly chinnier. Call me when DeGale dominates and KO's a top tier opponent who's never been KO'd before without gassing and struggling for half the fight. Then maybe you'd have a point. Kovalev kills DeGale literally.
GGG is an all round middleweight boxer , superb physical condition and endurance , impressive core strength . Good defence especially early in fights , accurate powerful jab with clever punch selection that he uses to set up his big punches. Wait ! there is more ... pressure , he just keeps coming at you that eventually makes his opponent realize they cannot compete and they quit . Rare stuff to see over and over against good opposition . The one fighter that took GGG deep was Martin Murray a tough , good boxer whose larger size and heart helped him make it to the 11th round . We know DeGale is taller with a longer reach than GGG , DeGale has good footwork and good power , good defence. Would GGG be able to keep the larger DeGale on the back foot with pressure ? Or would DeGale use GGG forward movement to land his own counter-shots against the smaller older man ? Or does GGG stay at Middleweight , fighting his mandatories and biding his time for Canelo to run out of blown up welterweights to beat on ?
GGG vs deGale is quite an even fight imo. I wouldn't be surprised if either guy won or even a draw. Kovalev vs deGale not so much. I would be very surprised if Kovalev didn't win by stoppage. I would only give deGale about a 3% chance of beating Kovalev.
GGG and Kovalev absolutely destroy degale and he doesn't come close to winning a single round. GGG takes him out from opening bell, latest 6th round. Degale barely beat direll if he did at all. He had 2 kd's in the first half of the fight, but truthfully he didn't do a single thing otherwise. Degale was literally trying to kill the clock fight, like in the nfl. He was clearly making his best effort to not have to do anything else. I'll have to rematch that fight, I had froch having a better legit argument for a win vs direll than degale getting a draw. Only saw once because nothing can be done once it's announced, and I had direll squeaking by with at least 8/4 in rounds. 2 kd's, I had direll in a close one. But it was very clear at the end who was the much superior fighter. I'll watch again tmw, I could be remembering wrongly. But people on this forums ludicrous opinions made me watch direll look froch look lost, beaten and continuously hurt while doing nothing to try and win more than a couple rounds. That fight was a horrific robbery, on the pac Bradley 1 fight and Oscar jmm 3 fight
Since the OP loves triangle theories so much, then I guess based on both of their fights against Bute, if Pascal is a B level fighter, then Degale is a B- at tops. And It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the current Version of B-Hop beat the curtent versions of Dirrell and Bute. Btw Dirrell never schooled Golovkin, they had two close fights where Gennady had the edge in both times.
