    Hard to say

    I'm voting Kovalev because I think Golovkin is the more special fighter

    Plus I think Golovkin has a better chin

    I say Kovalev as he's fighting harder comp when you face the best losses happen, it's easy to win when you facing the bums GGG fight's.

    Are we talking losing inside the ring, or losing credibility because of a shady drug test result?

    Probably Kov since he's fighting MUCH better opposition consistently.

    This is accurate, Kovalev has gunned for everyone at the top. His competition level is excellent. You eventually lose when you only fight the top echelon. I think he'll clean out the division initially before he loses though.

    Why are you guys ****ting on Golovkin

    He beat one of the best middleweights out there last time out

    Hes getting one gimme fight presumably because the better opponents are not available

    Voted Kovalev, GGG will stay at 160 until he dies.

    Kovalev. He's been fighting better opposition and is in a more competitive division. Whoever beats them is going to get a ton of credit.

    Golovkin is the more special fighter

    But i can see him feeling he has to move up and given hes already small for middleweight, hes gonna be in a lot deeper water than Kovalev has to tread

    Yep! GGG will be pressured into moving to 168, and will ultimately get smacked around and outclassed by Ward. Nobody is pressuring Kovalev to face Huck.

    Man GTFOH y'all give this dude so much praise for fighting a bunch of unranked or bottom 10-20 MW's for what? Ain't nothing special about beating bums impressively I'll take a competitive win vs top comp over destroying bums any day.
