...Kovalev? Seems like a friendly guy...met him at the NYC Press Conf. for the Pascal fight and I was shocked at how big he actually is in person. Seemed more like a cruiserweight than a 175 to me.
I say it all the time, the guy is huge and I never met him. I mean he is 188-189lbs on fight night. He outweighed both Pascal and Hopkins who are decent sized LHW's. That's a 14lb gain on the day of the fight.
14 pounds for a LH is no big deal its about right , some LWs rehydrate more .
I met Floyd once and he asked me to make him some sushi and threatened to cook me with my dog then punched his girlfriend in the face.
He's a tiny black guy though so I just found it cute and asked to take a picture with him.
If Kovalev said something racist to me I'd be offended as ****! I'd probably cry. That's one menacing dude and I take his opinions seriously.
I met him at Golovkin-Lemiuex. He was nice enough; stopped and took a picture with me and a friend, even took the time for a second one bc I was cut out of the first one lol
I don't understand why some people can't just look at a fighter,look at his personality,and his fighting style and decide if they like them based off that.
Like look at old George Foreman. He was a big fat black power punching lovable grandpa. How the hell can you dislike George Foreman? He didn't duck anyone and was always exciting plus he gave us the George Foreman grill which is one of the 10 greatest inventions of all time.
Theirs some fighters that if you don't like you're a racist or a bigot. Some guys theirs just no legit reason to hate them,like Alexis Arguello.
What do you mean by, "and even Latinos".... :poke:
lol, it means it almost as important as the mentioned.. he did not mention Asians, we must not matter, lol
calling a individual a certain word you know that will offend him is alot different than labeling a group of a certain distinguishing trait a certain word.
and this is what the victim minded cant understand.
If someone calls you the Nword cause you and him have beef is alot different than him just stopping you in the middle of the street and calling you that.
What horrid, bigoted, and ignorant logic this is. Un****INGreal.
I posted this in another thread but I think its appropriate to post here.
I don't understand racism. Like wtf is wrong with some people the blacks have millions of great people in their communities. The Jewish people have great people. Racism and bigotry seriously pisses me the **** off.
All lives matter Irish,white,black,and even Latinos.

Racism on this site is getting out of hand.

Nah, if anything, Roy Jones was there and Sergey seemed very happy and excited to meet Roy. And my thing is this: John David Jackson trains him and JDJ doesnt play around like that from what I know. I dont think John David would be cool with that AT ALL.
Yea Kovalev is definitely not some virulent racist. He know's exactly what he's doing with his controversial statements. It's a put down and skirts on the edge of racism. It's all about media attention. Also to note, he's from f*cking Russia, I'm sure there are things we do that they consider reprehensible
All I can say is he was getting ready to fight Jean and I was weighing around 190 at the time we took the pic and he makes me looks like a 154 pounder in it.
I actually met him a week after his last fight, i had the opposite reaction i was surpriced how small he looked. Im by no means a big guy and he seemd smaller than i imagined.Maybe because he has just fought. Met him as he was leaving an eye dr place in burbank, i was surpriced he was rude to me, he had those plastic glasses they give u when they dialate your eyes. I asked for a pic when recognized him he was with his wife and krew he said no! No picture! I didnt take it personal he was maybe irritated from the eye drops , not to mention it was about 100 degrees that day.
Is he racist? Who knows. You never know what someone is feeling in their heart. Nobody can say he is not a mean person. The dude seems like he would like to have his ring victims taxidermied and put on display in his house if he was allowed to LOL
exactly, these idiots don't know what the meaning of racism is
They're born in a privileged era, where everything is magnified because this lazy generation simply has nothing else to do with their time, so race crusades take top priority. It's mostly white nerds trying to fit in.
When did he stop being racist? Was it after he called Grover Young a *******? Or was it after he said he don't like the *******s in YFlorida? Or was it after he depicted Stevenson as a monkey? Mr George "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" Wallace also hired a black man as his personal assistant. When did Sergey have a come to Jesus meeting and apologize for his racism?
Were you this up in arms when Floyd went on the internet and called Pacquiao a yellow chump?
What about when Floyd was mocking Oscar by wearing the Mexican colors on fight night?
Or do you only see racism when it's pointed at you?
Yup. Seen Kovalev twice. He was at Bradley/Vargas ringside and I saw him again leaving the Mandalay Bay at Cotto/Canelo. He was always to himself and on his phone so I didn't really get a chance to see how he acts.
Maybe It's just because I'm American and the majority of people are overweight but he's really not that big at all. I was surprised at how normal sized Kovalev is in person.
I've seen Gabriel Rosado a few times too. He's a cool cat. Always flexing with the shades and chains and always walks around with a dime piece but he seems cool.
Saw GGG at Bradley/Vargas also, now he was big. Not really that tall, but he has a big frame and his arms were jacked !! Of course everyone mobbed him.
Was sitting next to Daniel Ponce De Leon during the fight and that dude looked pissed off and serious the whole time lmao
so you telling me hopkins and pascal weight 175 and stayed their even for fight night?
really a 14 pound weight advantage stop trying to make these black fighters look weak. Yous a racist.
14lb weight gain. 14lb weight advantage was not mentioned in my post, you replied to the wrong post or can't read.
