Hopkins would never be dropped by the likes of a Caparello, or a Fonfara

He was off balance. He ate all of Kovalev's flush punches at 50-years old. Like nothing. Kovalev on the other hand was rocked several times by a washed up Hopkins. he never hurt hopkins, and when everybody thought he was hurt (in the 12º) it was due to his legs being tangled with b-hop's legs.

Double standard much?

Bhop was dropped out of an alien ship at birth..don't forget that...

Caparello stepped on Kovalev's foot, and he was off balance. Hardly a knockdown. He got back up and proceeded to destroy Caparello.

By looking at the 'KD'. :pat: If he'd had both feet available to keep his balance, he would not have gone down. His arse didn't even touch the canvas, just a glove. And he didn't lean back. Your memory is off. You're right he didn't lean straight back. My mistake. The rest is arguable. It was a legit KD either way.

The alien's gonna give that boy an autopsy. :boxing:

Caparello landed one helluva shot. That shouldn't be discredited by an accidental step of, on the boot. Max Kellerman said it shouldn't of been a KD and the reason he went down most likely was because of the foot step. You can clearly tell that he was off balance from that IF Max says it- its gotta be true

Kovalevs only KD where he doesn't have someone elses foot on his is against Boone, who obviously dropped Ward and KO'd Adonis Whats funny to me though... is.... There is no footage of that ANYWHERE. Boxrec doesn't even list a KD in that fight. How do we know for sure he actually got dropped by Boone? Serious question. I don't know where the reports ever came from

If any boxers foot is stepped on while they get punched- they're most likely losing their balance and going down Floyd, Manny, Ward, all would of went down in that circumstance, IMHO

But he can be out worked. Remember Hopkins lost to Jermaine Taylor twice (1st fight I thought was a robbery). But it is what it is.

http://cdn.fansided.com/gif/Sergey_Kovalev_vs_Blake_Caparello_1.gif The KD in question Absolutely legit KD. No question about it.

http://cdn.fansided.com/gif/Sergey_Kovalev_vs_Blake_Caparello_1.gif The KD in question Legit knockdown.

http://cdn.fansided.com/gif/Sergey_Kovalev_vs_Blake_Caparello_1.gif The KD in question

Yeah. The foot was stepped on. The main reason he went down. had to watch it again. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Boone though. I didn't see the KD. But I heard it was legit. Though described as a flash KD. I read it was a heavy knockdown and Kovalev was lucky to get the decision. Never been able to find the video footage though :(

If he hadn't had his foot stood on, he wouldn't have gone down. Lol how on earth do you know? He leaned straight back - with a hard punch in the face, that often leads to a knockdown hence why it's known as a cardinal sin in boxing.

Not sure about Echols may of been but sure I recall someone else dropping him. Vaguely remember catching it on KOTV back in the day He was dropped twice both by Mercado and Pascal
