With news coming about the Hopkins vs Kovalev fight being signed, it begs the question...is this another Matthysse vs Garcia in the making? Where a rabid fanbase full of casual fans who are only fixated on KO's went on and on for months talking about how their guy was going to put a hurting on Danny? Aside from Pacquiao, I've never seen such a rabid and emotionally delusional fanbase in boxing, period. I've never seen a fighter lose that many fans in a span of 48 minutes.
We have a similar situation in the BHOP vs Kovalev fiasco. Tons of rabid emotionally invested casuals who became Kovalev fans simply due to his high KO % instead of his actual skillset. And of course we have others who just simply hate Bernard for whatever reason. Another classic between the boxer with a shelf full of credentials vs the hype beast with a high KO % against stiffs.
Which situation where a hype job who was supposed to be "GOD" got exposed would be funnier to you? Or maybe you have another choice, like Pavlik-Hopkins, Tito-Hopkins, Provodnikov-Algeri, Pac vs JMM III?
