Who has the better right hand
Kovalev p4p has more one-punch KO power for sure.
But when you take into account everything: power, accuracy, timing of use, versitility, how well it's used in combinations, I think you have to go with Wlad by a country mile. Wlad has spent 17 years just murdering guys with that sledgehammer straight right.
Wlad imo but Kov left jab is more powerful i think.
Wlad's right hand is more proven and I give credit for its longevity as beans mentioned, but kovalevs right is fuckin scary because he throws them with an intent to kill unlike wlad..
Kovalev is one of those few guys in boxing who has massive power in his jab.. I bet he could knock out a china chinned prick with his jab..
This guy is very heavy handed.. that straight right, jab combination on silkakg was insane..his head snapped back twice on his way down lol
Kovalev scares the shit out of me, I think he's more lethal but as an all round boxer thats the only weapon I've seen him use whilst Wlad has a tonne of tricks.
Wlad's right doesn't smoke... Kovalev's does.
purely because kolarevs fighting style is boxing and wlads more resembles another sport you have to say kolarev
WladKlit could get charged with sexual harrasment :gay-as-steelie:Quote:

he also throws a straight right hand once or twice a fight, just after and before he holds on
You are talking about a guy with an 80% KO percentage, with over 50 KO's.Quote:

Raw power Kovalev, he is a brutal puncher.
Wlad has one of the sharpest right hands going, but its treated like a fine rare wine he's afraid to open where Kovalev has a natural mentality of malice and I think a more diverse right hand. Chop hook, straight extension and to body. He believes in it as an individual weapon if need be where Wlad seems to need reassurance from that cockblocker jab before he drops bombs.
Which is what GGG has a more fearsome right hand.Quote:
