top 4-7 if hopkins won, people were talking about him being top 3 p4p, so kovalev at least deserves a middle p4p spot. he goes ahead of ggg thats for certian.
Top ten for sure. Hellacious puncher with better boxing skills than most gave him credit for. Dominated Hopkins like no man before him.
p4p is an imaginary way of saying. If he weighed the same who would win? keep this in mind when discussing.
Top 4. Can't think of anyone that can beat him atm around his weight class. Concussive knockout power, great skill and boxing IQ, can fight to the final bell and has a tested chin. Madonna Stevenson would have gotten worn down by last night's BHop, but Kovalev didn't give him a single inch and nearly put his lights out. Total G.
What I saw last night was one of the top 10 fighters in the world imo. His resume still may need a little more though to solidify the spot. I rank him higher than GGG for sure
