Kovalev hasn't been tested!

Well That's pretty silly not rating Campillo when he beat quality opponents but was robbed. He kicked Shumanov's ass, beat down Tavoris Cloud and beat Murat (but robbed against all three! ).I've never rated Campillo. He's a decent fighter, but can't punch, and has lost 5 times. Hardly a test for somebody as highly rated as Kovalev.
This isn't to say that Kovalev isn't a good boxer. He has tremendous promise, but he needs to beat somebody relevant before I get on the bandwagon.Comment

So you criticize Kovalev for being untested but then laugh at the idea of him taking on one of the most accomplished fighters of all time?Comment

Campillo beat Murat, shumenov and cloud and should have been the WBA and IBF champ when he fought kovalev. You might not rate him but he was clearly the top LHW behind Hopkins and Dawson.I've never rated Campillo. He's a decent fighter, but can't punch, and has lost 5 times. Hardly a test for somebody as highly rated as Kovalev.

You can see his skills in the ring. Uses distance well and throws great combos and has good footwork.
His high work rate while using his range is a tough style match-up for the old legend. Its what gave him issues with Cal and Dawson. Cloud smothered himself and fought in ineffective spurts.
That why I favor Kovalev over Hopkins and his power would give Cleverly hell. Probably lay out Nathan.Comment

But Bellew came off the floor to beat Bob Ajisafe and Ovill Mckenzie. Lets call it a draw.Comment

LMAO you can't be serious m8. The same 50 yo that Cleverly's been using after every fight for the past 3 years "Hopkins is next, Hopkins is next, blah blah blah" Cleverly actually thinks that beating Hopkins at this stage means he'll become an ATG, Kovalev at least has the excuse that he's getting a title shot. WTF?Last edited by SnakeVen0m; 06-19-2013, 12:48 PM.Comment

All I get from this is that Cleverly fans are shook.
Kovalev fought bums lol & there is Nathan fighting murderers row; Tommy Karpency, Shawn Hawk, Mohammedi
Its funny how they big up Karo Murat, they must not of seen Campillo get not one but two bull**** decisions against Murat in his hometown.Comment
maybe In fantasy land. Campillo was already proved his worth but I'm 98% sure you've never actually seen him fight, especially his robberies
