He wanted them for de la hoya and cotto
Mayweather wanted 8oz gloves and cotto wanted 10oz. There were suggestions that they could both have their preferred sizes but it didn't happen.....
He's saying that he if he went up to the HW division he would have to pick the right heavyweight and even though as a fighter he believes he can beat anyone, a K brother wouldn't be realistic........
he is fast for 168 I say his ring IQ the only thing special about him he is very confident fighter I like to see how he bounces back after his 1st L which should happen pretty soon IMO
Who do you see beating him at 168 or 175?
GGG vs a prime and undefeated Arthur Abraham at 160 would be an interesting fight. IMO Abraham had more 1 punch KO power than GGG at that weight and we know Golovkin can be hit. Would be a good fight.............
this was very immature of Kovalev. He acts like a man, very reserved and classy in front of reporters but acts very childish on social media. He should follow the example of the Klitschkos and GGG.
however people need to get thicker skin and there is definitely a double standard.
Remember Floyd Mayweather called Manny some racist terms. if Manny had done that, all hell would break loose.
I never get when people say this. Mayweather got more stick for that than kovalev has gotten for this. The posts on here were far worse. Most people seem to be defending kovalev it seems.
His use of the word 'negro' didn't sound racist. The other stuff did but that's if he actually said it as some people on here claim he didn't. Don't see why people need to do the whole 'black people get to say stuff all the time and don't get labelled racist'. When floyd went off on his racist rant people on here were offended and called him out for being a racist. People need to stop defending racism. It's all wrong.....
He looks good but I want to see him against someone who is durable enough to last some rounds so I can get a better idea about his durability and stamina. He has great potential.......
Chavez is going to get the beating of his life in this fight. I really don't understand why people are giving him any real chance tbh. I mean what fight has he been in where he's looked anywhere near good enough to beat a fighter like Martinez?
Being an Eastern European, I am sickened by Americans saying that the HW division is weak and garbage, you morons are only saying this because your American HW's are weak and soft.
The HW division is definately better than the 80's when the OVERRATED Tyson was roaming the division and KOing everybody.
Ali and Foreman weren't REAL world champions back in the day because Eastern Europeans weren't allowed to turn Professional because of the Cold War, if they were than it would have been a whole different story. For example, in baseball Babe Ruth was never really the best player of his era because it was a White only league, there could have been someone better than him in the Negro league, but we will never know.
Americans are just gonna have to get used to the fact that Eastern European HW's are gonna DOMINATE for the rest of existence.
Nah. I'm from the cook islands and I still think it's terrible...
It's amazing to me that only the K brothers seem to be able to maintain a healthy pyhsique consistently. What are HWs doing between fights? Eating taco bell and McDonald's?
I find it truly incredible how these guys can train for months and still be clearly many pounds overweight. It's a disgrace tbh.......
Vitali will dominate easily, I find it hard to believe that some people are giving Solis a real chance of an upset. It won't happen, Vitali will win every round in a one-sided beatdown.........
