What makes Kovalev special?

[King_]

No.

The only real KO Kovalev has is against that UK dude... and he didn't even knock him out unconscious. Just because he knocks unconscious bums doesn't mean anything. The real KO's are the ones against good fighters.

You're a joke. Stop embarrassing yourself.


Mr. I beat Petr Petrov, Victor Ortiz and Adrien Broner but lost every time I've faced a world class fighter but roughed up Floyd on the ropes a couple times so I'm so amazing, so much better then the undefeated LHW who's taken out multiple top 15 fighters in his division by his 25th fight



Let me guess... Maidana also hits harder then Kovalev, right?





(I'm only talking about Maidana because you are clueless as hell and making silly posts about Kovalev)

Really? You have to knock fighters unconscious to have power? And you're seriously going to play the "bum" card? Gabriel Campillo should have been a unified champion at the time Kovalev fought him. Cleverly was a champion. If Kovalev is fighting bums, than Stevenson and Hopkins are fighting the bums who lost to Kovalev's bums.

The better fighters at light heavyweight can't last 4 rounds with the man. One guy has in recent memory. He drops fighters the moment he touches them with anything decent. His power is as legit as it gets in the entire sport.

If Kovalev, who cant fight backwards is unskilled, can i also say that Mayweather, who cant pressure is unskilled too? haha

Yeah you can. Can't have it both ways.

Mayweather quite clearly has and can pressure.

Mayweather quite clearly has and can pressure.

And he looks horrible most of the times he does it. He wouldn't be able to beat bums if his come forward style was all he had. That's why he had to develop fighting off the back foot - it doesn't make anyone more or less of a boxer, it's what they've got to do in order to win.

Against likes of Gatti and Baldomir?

Develop? Mayweather is a versatile fighter who has always been able to fight on the back-foot or on the front-foot. When has he looked "horrible" fighting going forward? He was an offensive machine at the lower weights, obviously against bigger guys he has to be more selective in his approach.

Right....and Kovalev's best wins are?

Kovalev has good timing also, in the sillakh fight you can see he's looking at sillakh feet's and once he settles he shoots out that straight right.
Really exiting fight between him and b-hop.
I have a feeling this fight could end in controversy, b-hop faking some **** or doing some dirty **** and kovalev will react badly and get dq.

Mayweather pressured and dominated Shane Mosley.
