What would you say they are? I think the Bellew fight showed that he gets frustrated if he doesn't get his way, and he doesn't like to lead.

With his weight already so far back he's very susceptible to feignts. Shit I'm sure there must be a bunch with his style but I don't know the ins and outs of his technique well enough to speak on it. He seems to get by on physical attributes more than technical brilliance to my untrained eye though.
Which means Bernard Hopkins has a very good chance of beating him?
If bhop can keep up with the speed and paceQuote:

He's feeling pretty high right now so its easy for me to say from the comforts of my barbers chair in front of my desk but a technical guru like Hop who also knows every trick in the book could cash in on that. Stevenson can box pretty well when he wants to though as was evident in the Cloud fight. Now Clouds somewhat rinse and repeat but Adonis beat him and broke him down more soundly then Hop did. Hbo hates Hop more then Rigo and of course there is the whole Showtime vs Hbo thing which I hope begins to dry up and blow away in 2014.
He reminded me of a Sam Peter in his last fight, just a bit. I can actually see Kovalevs boxing ability suprising the shate out of Stevenson, then comes the power.
Agreed, i think Kovalev has the beating of him.Quote:

Bernard beats him.
Agreed and I think Kovalov has the beating of Hopkins too. Too strong and busy.Quote:

Adonis Stevenson is winning he boxes ugly but right now he's winning. I think Kovalev might KO Stevenson easy though IMO
What is it that you don't like about him. Curious is all.Quote:

Kovalev would absolutely kill Stevenson. I hope this fight gets made sometime this year and Stevenson comes in as the favorite..
