    Not the version of Calzaghe who fought Jones and Hopkins, I mean if he moved up in whatever you consider his prime.

    Kovalev is too good at cutting off the ring and landing big shots. I am going Kovalev by stoppage though i think Calzaghe will likely win some early rounds. People forget how good Kovalev was.

    Prime Kovalev beats the Hell outta Joe. Dmt is correct, people have forgotten how good Kovalev was over his 4-year prime from 2013-2016. Alcoholism and lack of desire ruined him, but there was a span when he was a consesus top 3 fighter in the world.
