I thought Badou Jack relinquished his title and was thinking of moving back down in weight?
I forgot about Jack at LHW. He is a good fighter. I don’t think he lasts against Kovalev though. He is just a tier below and I don’t think his chin holds up.
Floyd needs sort his champions out and get them fighting.. Jack..Gervonta Davis..where are they?
An interesting fight. If Jack can stand up to Kovalev's power he might cause some problems in the later stages. Jack seems to get strong as the bout goes on. My first thought was Kov sparks him.
Anything Kov does not spark and fights him back wins. Badou can do a Ward on him.Quote:

According to what? Kovalev has only lost to Ward and the first fight he should have won. And Ward was the best fighter on the planet. Jack is nowhere near the level of Ward. I’m not saying it’s impossible for Jack to win, but it would be a very big upset IMO.Quote:

Lean towards Kovalev but I just need to see him back under new camp and mind set after being lit up by Ward, in that fashion. Kovalez is wound pretty tight to me and you need to shake stuff like that off. Jack did it and I think impressively, dude has come a long way back from looking like some early 90's also ran sparked out and never heard from again. Both guys are top notch accurate punchers. Like Jack vs Stevenson also. Dare we say..lt hvy is becoming stacked!
I think Jack is a solid fighter, but feel like Kov is special. Two brutal fights with Ward, one of which could've gone his way tells me that only another special fighter has a chance to beat him. Jack will give Kov some problems and is probably his most versatile threat right now, but I still think Kov wins convincingly.
I guess that Gvozdyk is the mandatory for Kovalev. Arum tweeted that he wants that fight next. Hopefully they make it happen.
Criminal how Gvozdyk was passed over for that title fight. The sanctioning bodies never cease to amaze tho.Quote:

They both fought on August 26th 2017.Quote:
