Do you think Kovalev is the best LHW in the current division? I think he's more proven than the linear champion Stevenson, whose best win is Dawson, who was coming off a loss and weight-drained in his previous fight. Kovalev beat Cleverly, who had never been down in his career (AFAIK) and Campillo, who if nothing else, was a former champion.
Dawson > Cleverly Dawson > Campillo Kovalev was Hopkin's Mando but chose to fight Cleverly...If he's not ready for the Hopkins' test that SHOULD tell you something. Hopkins was chomping at the bit to fight Kovalev:deal
I can't think of anyone in the division who I'd favor against him. I hope he slaps that annoying pimp silly if he gets past Cloud.
