Fight Credential

Versatility

Kovalev gives off the impression that there's more to the overall package than what the slugger has been forced to show in his five-year career. But the answer regarding whether he can box as well as he can punch remains to be seen. Hopkins, meanwhile, has an endless amount of tricks and variations to his style. He can take the lead with the jab or sit back and counter. He can fight dirty, make you miss, or sit down and trade punches in spots.

Advantage: Hopkins
