Kovalev is the most fragile elite boxer I've ever seen

He was never very good anyway. Now that's just not true. The Kovalev that tormented Jean Pascal was a hell of a fighter with the best jab in boxing. He just didn't train as hard as he could have and seemingly isn't as disciplined as he should've been and that eventually catches up to you (i.e. Wilfred Benitez, Mike Tyson)

His Age, Tough fights (Ward 2X, Pascal 2X, E. Alvarez 2X, Yarde), and Lack of discipline outside of the ring have all caught up with him.

He was never very good anyway. So why did ward struggle with him so bad the 1st fight??

Andre Ward isn't given enough credit for what he did to Sergey Kovalev. Before those fights Kovalev was towards the top of most people's P4P lists and talked about like a real killer. There was a time when he lived up to his "Krusher" name, used to go in there with some serious bad intentions and no afterthought for what was coming back at him. Ward bullied him, roughed him up and beat that out of him. Kovalev after the Ward fights has been like he got neutred. Yes. In second fight, Ward won clearly and took Kovalev`s soul.

Dude is 37 years old his punch resistance is gone after Ward and Eleider Alvarez for his health he should consider retirement

He was never very good anyway. Bull ****. He beat Ward the first match. He's shot. It happens to even the best of boxers.

Ward 1 took a toll on him mentally. Ward 2 took something out of him physically. Alvarez 1 woke him up a little bit, but also took something out of him. Shame he never got the kudos after Ward 1, and then shame we never saw what happened the rest of his career after that..but life ain't fair...he still had a great career and should retire a rather wealthy man

He was never very good anyway.

Alcohol and going through multiple ring wars will do that to a human. Almost everyone on these forums has known that he is way past his best. Tonight shouldn't have been a shock to anyone.

After Ward-Kovalev 2. He was never the same. He's old, he's aged kind of bad too. He was past his prime for a while now. The best Kovalev was fighting Pascal 2, and Ward 1
