    Definitely past prime but he can still box. His training and preparation seem to be improving with the new trainer but he’s looked very unprepared in thennot so distant past.

    The Krusher of old is long gone. He’s still decent but no longer elite and old fighters usually decline rapidly. I suspect he will continue the downward trajectory and become a gatekeeper before hanging it up.

    Well past prime but not quite totally finished.

    He's improved his boxing a bit but his power has declined and his confidence never fully recovered from the ward losses.

    He reminds me of Chisora In a way, obviously he's better than chisora, but what I mean is he will still beat the not quite world level guys and may beat the odd fringe world level but he will be found out at any level above that.

    Technically hes not improved in a while. Hes been a polished fighter forever know.

    People forget that Kovalev is 36. Hes had a deep amatuer background. Look at his fight with Cleverly. Hes already a totally finished product by then. Amazing timing, control of distance and a much better punch arsenal.

    He's slightly past prime, he is not well past prime yet. Who other than Ward has been able to box with him. His only other loss other than Ward, he was handily winning rounds when he got caught. The guys that would likely give him hell at this point: Bivol, Gvodzyk, Beterbiev, all would have given the most absolutely prime version of Kovalev hell as well.

    I don't see growth, but absence of growth does not equal "well past prime". I'd say he's coasting right now. A couple years from now, yea I'll say well past prime.
