Maybe I'm getting too old.. but I don't get the hype on Koralev.. I remember when..

[RadioBox]

It's like people hype fighters so much. I remember a long time ago when I was 18 and Lucian Bute finally stepped up and got stopped by Carl Froch.. He was also hyped and had 10x the resume Koralev had heading into the Froch fight................

[Weebler I]

Right, so under your theory who is going to be Kovalev's Froch and take him out in 5 rounds?

[El Angel]

Kovalev hasn't been knocked out by Librado Andrade and been robbed of a victory by a biased ref either.

Lateef Koyote is waiting for him at CW. If Koralev is so tough he should step his azz up and get into the jungle.

[SnakeVen0m]

Why do people expect KOvalev to have a good resume? He was a prospect up until his last fight when he destroyed Campillo. I'm sure you're being sarcastic but Froch-Bute was only last year.

1. How many threads have you already created?

2. Bute Froch wasn't a long time ago. Yes Froch upset Bute but it was well known that Bute didn't have the best chin. Kovalev looks to have a solid chin and it would take someone who could box and fight inside to beat him.

Andre Ward is that man.


The good thing is that 168-175 is pretty stacked so we will see Kovalev fighting a lot of them.

Kovalev is the real deal...stopping Campillo and Cleverly is pretty major

[daggum]

his resume is actually a lot better than bute's. campillo was one of the top 2 or 3 guys in the division coming off 2 robbery losses to 2 of the other champs, and cleverly was a top 5 guy. bute didn't have any of that on his resume. either did lacy going into the calzaghe fight. those guys were hype. i think what you meant were they had 10x the bums on their resumes. kovalev is anti-hype. he's reality.

[IronDanHamza]

"Maybe I'm too old" Bute-Froch was a year ago when you were 18.

This guy is an absolute king with words!

[Hougigo]

I don't get it. You believe the hype of Wilder, but not Kovalev..... who just won a world title?

DAMN I wish i was young enough to say that!
