The punch that Adonis knocked Dawson out with would easily KO Kovalev.

that's just your opinion, every fighter takes punches differently and depending on how ones reflexes are implemented it could just as easily be of ones opinion that kovalev would have been able to recognize said shot and been able to maneuver himself to take much off the shot resulting in a much less impactful landed shot.

the only thing that isn't opinion is the fact we have seen bad Chad hurt by single shots numerous times while we have yet to see krusher truly hurt since becoming a man.

I've seen the AM stoppage but I really don't know how badly he was really hurt in that match. in AM matches all that's needed is for one fighter to take a clean shot, just enough to where is COULD be a shot that has potential to hurt the fighter. fights are stopped immediately and god forbid if a fighter takes a shot and stumbles, its over. that's all she wrote.

from what I have seen, kovalev has a very workable and dependable chin, until proven otherwise I will stay with that opinion

 

It seems unlikely that Stevenson would be able to throw that punch at Kovalev considering that would mean he'd actually have to agree to fight him.
