Should Kovalev retire?

[Science]

Looked like **** against Canelo too the point where I'm questioning was it a fixed fight. An older fighter with his biggest pay day, gets a little extra to take a dive against a younger fighter.

Kovalev looked gun shy and slow against Canelo.

Kovalev was busted for PEDS recently...should he just call it a day or make 1 more run at light-heavy or cruiserweight or something?

He should have retired after the first Andre Ward fight. I know a mentally defeated man when I see one. After that first Ward fight he was never the same and he only got worse and worse with each loss he took. By the time Canelo fought him he was 1/10th the fighter he was going into that first Ward fight.

He’s been stopped 3 times in his last 7 fights. almost 4 if Yarde finished him.

He’s clearly fading anyway and approaching 40. Considering how fast his decline was, he will be shot to bits in a year or so and getting stopped by anyone decent.

I would love to see KKKovalev continue to get his ass kicked

Does he got the money to retire? From the sounds of it he's got like 4 promoters & 7 managers + didn't he have to pay off that lady for fooking up her face so I feel like he's getting less of those big paydays than he should be getting. I think just cuz of the math of it all Kovalev is gonna have to take some more ass beatings regardless of if its in his best interest to retire health-wise or legacy-wise. Or he needs to work on his used car salesman skills or get to hustling on Amway.

He might be shot to bits now...he hasn't fought since 2019

Go to 200 and see what happens, he can probably out box a lot of guys at that weight and if his power carries, he might be able to be top 10. Kovalev/Kudryashov is a fight that tempts me

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I think he deserves one more shot. It wasn’t like he was outclassed by Canelo. A lot of people had it close and quite a few had Kovalev in front at the time of the stoppage.

As Big Z said he could probably outbox quite a few of the top ranked guys at Cruiserweight. I wouldn’t completely rule out him winning a title at CW tbh.

I thought he woulda retired after get robbed then nut punched by ward. He sold his belt to clenelo amonth after a brutalass fight with yarde. He was also gonna make a couple mil in his next fight with GB but got busted for ped's. I think he should retire hopefully hes saved enough money
