    How well do you think the Krusher would have done against these LHW legends of the past? Do you think he would have beaten any of them?

    Archie Moore
    Ezzard Charles
    Harold Johnson
    Matthew Saad Muhammad
    Dwight Muhammad Qawi
    Michael Moorer
    Michael Spinks
    Virgil Hill
    Dariusz Michalczewski
    James Toney
    Roy Jones jr

    Edit:
    Bob Foster
    John Conteh

    With his skill, power and size. Kovalev can compete and win against any LWH past or present.

    bit crazy to claim he beats atgs based on him beating a 49 year old and a pretty good guy from the division below.

    but equally bad to underestimate ko4clev's potential. he has shown he can unify and defend unifed titles - potentially he can go on to join these atgs and hofers.

    Toney would knock him out his counter punching and defense would be to much for the Kruaher a fight with Hill would be interesting. Thing aboutbthe Krusher is that he is still in work in progress so its much to early to have any proper comparison

    Moore, Charles, RJJ, and Toney knock Kovalev out. Michalczewski and Spinks school him.

    I don't know, I'm not comfortable comparing him to some of these fighters yet.
