I strongly believe Stevenson would make Bute's performance against Froch look good. Froch is all wrong for Stevenson.
Terrible style clash for Stevenson, personally I think Bika is too, I can see it already Kovalev Vs. Bika for the Lineal LHW Championship of the Worldatsch
Froch is a bad boy. Been a fan of his for a long time. But Kovalev is all wrong for him. Froch would beat the **** out of GGG. But would get slaughtered by Kova.
Who hasn't been better than Froch at every facet of the game? He has still found a way to win almost every damn time. Kovalev is still early in his career but his 2 best wins are a 50 year old Hopkins and Pascal who hasn't beaten a top 15 fighter in 4-5 years. Pascal who has a loss to Froch while he was active and a 46-47 yr old Hopkins. Kovalev didn't knock out a immobile 50 year old Hopkins but lemme guess he is going to destroy a Prime Froch....
I think id make big money on this fight. Froch's name would give him decent odds for the win but imo he would get completely dominated and stopped late (11ish) I give Froch almost no practical chance of beating Kovalev.
I'm a fan of Kovalev I even like his wins over Campillo and Cleverly. Your level headed and assess the win over Pascal reasonably but it's the Kovalev is the best P4P fighter,greatest LHW fighter, destroys all these great fighters nonsense that I'm playing devils advocate to. A lot of the posters I am addressing are the same posters calling Froch mediocre in a weak era and Calzaghe a bum. Some of these posters discredit Calzaghes win over 43 yr old Hopkins but Kovalev over a 7 yr older Hopkins as great. I'm just trying to shove this into their heads so maybe just maybe next time they will be a little fairer in fighters their biased towards.
Froch's low left is an invitation for Kovalev's heavy right hand. Can't see Froch taking too many of them and staying upright especially with him being such a slow starter too.
at this stage, ko4clev will krush froch/ perhaps not stop, but it will be a painful loss for the cobra.
I think we might be lucky to see 1 belt soon also which hopefully clears up a lot of ducking. WBC, WBA, IBF, have been in talks of making tourneys to make the champs fight eachother and bring the divisions together. Hopefully they snag WBO too. I agree in terms of greatness also they have all given us fans good fights over the years. Looking forward to see Kovalev developing and becoming lineal while Froch finishes out the end of his career. Wouldn't mind BHOP as an announcer if he talked more either.
