    Kovalev has ticked a lot of boxes but it's too early to be sure he'll get into the HOF. If he loses his next fight and then retires I wouldn't put him in, but obviously that's unlikely. Looking at the wins he's had and the skills and abilities he's shown, he's good enough that he'll get in there if he performs this well for a few more years. Always hard to predict too far into the future though.

      Yes, exactly! His boxing skills are underrated. He uses his reach and is not wasteful.

      Been trying to tell people for years! His defense has gotten a lot better too.

        Kovalev was very impressive Saturday night. He fought almost a mistake free fight.

          Are you kidding? Of course he will get into the HOF

                Poor B-Hop. He never stood a chance.

                  Is that what the crowd freaked out about? I remember seeing everyone outside the ring looking at something in the crowd.

                    Haha yea it was, there were 2 fights that I saw in the crowd. The first one was the girl one, they were throwing pop corn at each other and ****. Then some dude jumped in it and hit one of them. Needless to say that whole section got cleared out by security. Crowd was great!
