Reading the referenced article in Russian, I think that Kovalev meant CW, not HW. Russians call a CW a "Heavy Weight" and HW a "Super Heavy Weight" which caused the confusion, as he said "Heavy Weight".
How do you think he can perform against top cruisers? I don't think his chances against strong guys like Gassiev and Briedis are good. Usyk will likely outslap him.
Kovalev moving to Cruiser ?

Also in the amateurs cruiser is heavyweight and heavyweight is S.Heavyweight

Ducking Adonis Stevenson again?
Why doesn't he become his mandatory challenger and finally get that fight done?

This article appears to confirm the sacking of John David Jackson, which is interesting.boxing_rocks wrote:https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/k ... ight/77495

It'll be kind of funny if Kovalev and Ward start sharing the same training camp, facilities and coach, as well as possibly sparring against each other... assuming Sergey really does want to employ Virgil Hunter.
Re: Kovalev moving to Cruiser ?
Yes he said CW in Russian interview, under 90kg. Personally I dont think he has CW body but if he feels drained at LHW he better move up and roll the dice. I am sure he can beat most CWs anyways.boxing_rocks wrote:https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/k ... ight/77495

Re: Kovalev moving to Cruiser ?
No, he cannot move to cruiserweight!
He has to fight Stevenson!
Is he a chicken or something?
Is Kovalev a coward?!

Smart move to move up, I mean, he just got stopped by a SMW...

If he refuses to fight Stevenson again, then he is clearly a massive pussy.

Why is he running away again, when he can become the mandatory challenger and get a clear shot at the title?
Is Kovalev a chicken? Or is he a real man?
Re: Kovalev moving to Cruiser ?
Does he have an obligation to fight Stevenson? Is Stevenson running away from pretty much every good LHW given his opposition over the last few years?

I thought this was the fight everyone wanted to see.
Why are all of the creeps crawling out of the woodwork now to defend Kovalev from running away from this fight?
Kovalev apologists can go suck a todger! Homos!
Re: Kovalev moving to Cruiser ?
Adonis Stevenson won't even face his mandatory of two years Eleider Alvarez, so what makes you think he'd actually go through with fighting Kovalev? A purse bid being ordered doesn't mean that Stevenson was actually going to fight.
Re: Kovalev moving to Cruiser ?
Kovalev was his mandatory challenger before and he ducked out of the fight, not Stevenson.crusader wrote:Adonis Stevenson won't even face his mandatory of two years Eledier Alvarez, so what makes you think he'd actually go through with fighting Kovalev?

Kovalev has more to prove than Stevenson.
Kovalev should stay at light heavyweight and be a man instead of running away.

I guess Adonis has been too busy with guys like Karpency and Williams.Adonis Stevenson won't even face his mandatory of two years Eledier Alvarez, so what makes you think he'd actually go through with fighting Kovalev?
