Why the model ranks Kovalev here

Sergey Kovalev sits fourth at cruiserweight, and the model's reasoning is written all over his ledger: a perfect 100 for opposition quality, built on a schedule that has taken him into deep water against the very best. That form score of 92 survives even losses to Robin Safar and Canelo Alvarez because Kovalev keeps sharing the ring with elite names and answering. The recent stoppage of Artur Mann shows the finisher is still there.
