2013 Kova ?????? No LHW beats him. Now? Bivol UD.... Kovalev 4 year prime be destroys any LHW put in front of him. Bivol included
Kovalev at his best was f****** special man apart from lomachenko he is my favourite Fighter of the past 10-years
Idk... right now I think prime vs prime its a competitive fight, I think I favor Kova. I need to see more from Bivol to pick him over a prime Kova. Beterbiev would destroy prime Kova though.
Prime Kovalev beats prime Bivol IMHO, although it's still a good competitive fight. I do however agree with @kirk that prime Beterbiev would have an excellent shot at beating prime Kovalev.
Prime Bivol beats prime Kovalev, by wide unanimous decision. Bivol is a boxing machine, he would outbox a prime Kovalev.
Prime Kovalev was a monster but Beterbiev would beat him, even if it was a fresh just-turned pro Beterbiev. I really do. He already had the full package and was already beating up Pascal and co in sparring in 2013...... This content is protected Ptime Kovalev beats any version of Bivol though. He was a monster at range.
I fancy prime Kova over Bivol. Kovalev lost his timing as he drifted away from his prime, and his timing was what allowed him to exploit gaps in his opponent's style. Bivol would not be an easy fight by any means but I think Kova's timing and power would win it for him
