"Alien" Hopkins vs "Krusher" Kovalev Post fight Discussion thread

[Sir Babatunde]

google it.. and the patterns are obvious you hate GGG and KOvalev... and if i say you are pro black i might be labelled as a racist, but i think you are pro black boxers too

This is just crazy, when i make a thread stating that Quillin has an equal resume to Golovkin (before the Geale fight) it apparently means i hate him. All i'm doing is raising valid points in my threads and most people reluctantly accepted they had similar resumes prior to the Geale fight anyway.

The problem with you fans is that you build such an emotional attachment to fighters that you can't handle any form of criticism. You have another dude echoing your views that i'm an 'alt'/troll and he has a friggin picture of Golovkin getting married lmao too much emotional attachment to the fighters man.

So when i talk about Golovkin's resume i get the red square thing with a comment saying i'm a 'black supremacist' but then when i criticise Aaron Pryor's resume and praise Danny Garcia i should get banned blah blah blah

I'm not pro black boxers, it's all in your head bro.

I still can't believe B-hop took this fight, a freakin Legend is what he is.


Kovalev's got this though out with the old in with the new.

I thought the one about his current division was quite fun - until he also realized that even at 140-154 - Floyd still takes it

As in, when we discuss Floyd, are we only allowed to talk about his career post his comeback fight with Marquez? Or is it with De La Hoya we start? Which, funnily enough, was pretty much the end of Floyd's absolute prime anyway.

For all the Mayweather fans who say he's greatest ever etc, the other end of the stick is just as bad. I feel in general, that on NSB, Mayweather's resume is unbelievably underrated.

For some reason it seems cool to dig up every other excuse about his opponents circumstances - It leads me to think that the posters who do this, weren't around at the time of the fight. Because, in fairness, 9/10 of his opponents had done something great before fighting him.

Being the best I suppose, this criticism comes - just like with Jones Jr. Like he said, it's not that "they aren't nothing, I just make them look like nothing". Pretty much everyone can see now that he fought all the best guys in his weightclasses.

I think Mayweather will get the same recognition, except for the Pacquiao thing.

Agreed 100%.

I actually saw someone once say Hopkins has beaten more top guys than Mayweather and Pacquaio put togther Imagine that!

He's not even close to beating more than one of them on their own let alone put together.

I already have Hopkins well above Floyd on my ATG list.

Floyd's only real notable win against a quality fighter in his prime was against Jose luis Castillo, and he lost the first fight. I don't know how you can be an all time great with only 1 notable win.

It only took 1 response for the correct answer.

Dwyer picked kovalev!

Well for starters, Hops is going to nullify the right hand of Kova which he is extremely dependent upon. After that, he might take advantage of how he backs straight out a lot and doesn't jab his way in to set up his punches. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of lead rights from Hops in this fight.

Dwyer picked kovalev!

fuuuuuk, Teddy Atlas better not pick Kov

[jas]

Bernard Hopkins will masterclass kovalev and thus move into top 15 all time great
