Kovalev is very good, but I don't think he has ever faced a style like that of Joe Calzaghe. I can see Calzaghe going down, but he gets up and finds a way. Unless you can keep Calzaghe down and nobody has, then he is going to get up and outwork you. I could see Calzaghe boxing Kovalev a little bit like he did with Kessler, a slow start as he feels his man out, and sees what his punch is like and then up the tempo until the other man just cannot keep up. Kovalev is a mean man, but Calzaghe is the greatest fighter of all time.
