I find it really interesting. 2 former champs who were known for their aggressive style and punching power loses twice to the same guy whom many thought they won the first fight but end up getting stopped in the rematch.
Will the same fate happen to Golovkin when he fights Canelo???
gonzalez got knocked out with legit punches. kovalev with punches to the balls. i dont see how they are similar? one was legit and one wasnt. one was legal and one wasnt.
All of a sudden the Ward loss is a good thing because it proves Kovalev is better than Roman Gonzalez...
It's hard to believe the sh_t I read on this site sometimes.
There you have it folks, two of the best and brightest on this site.
Well ofc you gotta look at the caliber of the opponent they were beaten by, thats common sense. But i think we can all agree that Kovalev is a more skilled boxer as he could keep up with the #1 p4p Andre Ward in his first fight. The loss is not a good thing, but its better than losing to some guy in your division

The hard is read your ****t.ies post... ydksab
Ward is a great defensive fighter, and he has the chance to make ilegals tricks because he always is the local fighters.
Kovalev power and skills would whooped the ass of a frontal fighter like Sor, that was K.O'ed and outboxed before...
Yes he is, kovalev only lost to the #1 p4p

He couldn't handle a light punching Andre Ward. How would he deal with heavy handed mauler who would attack him relentlessly to the body? Don't act like Kovalev is some kind of defensive wizard, when Ward couldn't miss him with that straight right that rocked him. Don't embarrass yourself Puppet.

A fighter like Sor, but in his weight, ignorant.
Skill for skill? What's that? Use your face like a punching bag like Gonzalez?
Im saying just the truth, I love Pacquiao like a boxer and he won great fights vs legends of my country.
You dont know sh.it about boxing...

The much larger Kovalev would kill a fighter weighing 115 lbs but that does not make him a better fighter skill for skill.
You're obviously taking some of these losses to Gonzalez personal.

Yep, he is.
Kova woul kill the 95% of the list of rivals in the career of Choco-Cerdo.
And do a competitive fight vs Cuadras or Estrada, and he will K.O a frontal guy like the thai. :bottle:

Good observation, it could very well happen to GGG as well. All guys had the HBO machine claiming they were the sports top 5 just because the network was failing in boxing and decided to hype up the foreign flavor in order to find another Pacquiao.
So who are the Pascal, Bhop, Chilemba equivalents to Gennady?
Who's the Lemieux from Kova's resume? Who's the Jacobs from Kovalev's camp? Jacobs is a high caliber and fresh fresh fighter compared to what Kovalev had. We could on agree on several points. but even if you combine the competition of Kova and GGG combined, Nelo's is more respected. As of now, Jacobs, Nelo, and Charlo are legit threats to GGG. GGG didn't look spectacular one bit against Jacobs, and the whole forum made fun of Jacobs' chin....
Bernard Hopkins, dear lord, what is this, the 1990s?
Golovkin would put such a savage beating on a 49 year old B-hop it wouldn't even be funny. Dude is already punch-drunk, Golovkin would cut his life expectancy by 20 years.

Who's comparing the resume's?
I'll be the first to say GGG doesn't have the strongest resume, but all that will be put to bed when he shows he's a level above Canelo next week.
I've personally always felt Golovkin is a level above Kovalev at least. I actually felt Kovalev won the first Ward fight but Kovalev has still always shown an element of vulnerability and looked more beatable if you followed him for a while. GGG has never looked that beatable. Jacobs might have had a moral victory by going 12 but in reality he won about 4/5 rounds and got dropped. Other than that and a few rounds here and there in other fights, GGG has pretty much always been in control.
Gonzalez was just on the slide and ran into the wrong guy at the wrong time. I felt he lost the first match anyway and thought he would get stopped last night, which he did. He wasn't exposed or anything, he's just on the slide, fighting at 112 and met a guy that had his number, it happens.
Whatever happened to those two is irrelevant when it comes to Golovkin anyway.
I find it really interesting. 2 former champs who were known for their aggressive style and punching power loses twice to the same guy whom many thought they won the first fight but end up getting stopped in the rematch.
Will the same fate happen to Golovkin when he fights Canelo???
The reasons for the losses are vastly different.

Fixed it for you.
