If Stevenson beats Kovalev I'll give up watching boxing. Huge punch but too easy to hit and not classy enough.

I think Kovalev would definitely KO Stevenson as well. It would be a really good fight though. I think Kovalev would stop him around the 8th or 9th round. If he got tired the way he did here against Fonfara and he was in the ring with Kovalev he'd be in deep sh*t.
We've never really had to see Kovalev go that deep into a fight either though so he could also gas.
I was thinking that before you said that. That could very well be the case definitely. Just one of many "What if" factors that makes Adonis vs Kovalev a VERY interesting bout.

Kovalev knocks him out in 3 or 4.

At the least bit in this fight Stevenson looked vulnerable. I'd favor Kovalev. Hopkins I don't know. Hopkins won't knock out Stevenson. Kovalev is another story.

That would be ok, but I think Kovalev would succeed where Stevenson failed and score a KO over Fonfara.

Yeah but Kovalev leaves a lot of holes aswell. He's not a defensive wizard either.
