Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins: No Need To Face Sergey Kovalev

[MDPopescu]

So if Erdei lost the "lineal" title for moving up in weight and still winning, then why doesn't Dawson lose the "lineal" title for moving down in weight and getting decimated?

... He just didn't -- that's why they still keep "weight divisions"... But in case they fought at 169 lbs, it would have been possible...

Doesn't deserve a response.

BHop is 1 at LHW
Stevenson 2
Pascal 3
Kov 4

3-4 can be changed but BHop is challenging 2 so who cares about 4.

People cry about best v best well BHop v Stevenson is best v best

In this case it's better to start tournament, to find out each place.
Otherwise it's better to write something like "Kovalev doesn't exist"..

BHop don't need to chase if he beat Stevenson, Kovalev will never get the recoginition of being the best.

Indeed. Ward/Dawson was just 1 lbs shy of being for the "lineal" LHW title.

Just in case, what Pascal would do further? Whose mandatory will he become?

no how anyone could say that pascal is number 3 in a division. If you want to say hopkins number two, okay fine. I just have a problem with the winner of hopkins versus stevenson not fighting a kovalevt. That's what boxing should be about. The best find best. And the really dispute that those are the top 3.

I agree, I think Ward should be the lineal champion. He fought the lineal champion at a weight under 175 and won. Simple as that.

Why cant pascal be 3?

Is it cause YOU think he shouldnt?

Hea fought much much better comp than Kov. Bute alone is better than anyone on Kov list.
