get the living **** out of here with these mythical sparring stories.
they also said kovalov had too much love and respect to even hit golovkin.
put them in a actual pro boxing ring and see whats happens. kovolav outboxes him and probably stops him.
this
weight classes f#cking matter. golovkin would, at the very least, tire like hell fighting a 175 lber for the first time, nevermind a top flight p4per with knockout power.
he's going to hit a 175 lber with a punch that knocked a middleweight spark-out and the dude is not going to go anywhere. then he's going to get hit by shots he used to take at MW and they're going to shake him up. and then he's going to tire. jabbing a 175 lber and jabbing a MW are different things. hitting the guard, getting your shots batted away by a significantly stronger guy, wears you down seriously.
kovalev would be the favorite against golovkin, and he should. hell, he'd be the favorite against ray robinson. FFS the guy is a LHW, and golovkin has been a MW for 10 years.
Nobody ever said GGG knocked him out. Apparently GGG dropped him with a hard body punch but he was right back up. GGG is a hell of a body puncher and stuff happens sometimes in sparring. It doesn't mean much.

Going from 160 to 175 with no tuneup worked out just fine for the last great middleweight (Benard hopkins) and he was a middleweight longer than 10 years
