Comments Thread For: Kovalev: To Become a Legend, I Have To Beat a Legend!

[Wicky]

If he is NOTICEABLY slower against Kovalev than in his recent fights and cant pull the trigger like he used to or avoid lunches like he did, then it is obvious age caught up to him. If he performs the way he has recently then no, age has not caught up to him yet.

This is a man who considers his body a temple and buys organic food at Whole Foods just like I do and his work ethic has kept him where he is able to beat younger men. He has transformed himself on a cellular level with how he manages his body and that's why he beats younger men because he performs at or above their level physically and technically. When age catches up to him, the world will know.

Seems like you’re not able to give a straight answer to a straight question. Lack of confidence?

I’ll ask again, it’s a very simple question…

You think what you see is important. Right? If you see him slow down noticeably from his previous fights, he “grown old”. If not, the loss has nothing to do with age, he just lost to a better guy. Yes or no?

I have told you yes in a million frames by now. Age is not a factor if a guy performs so well that he beats younger guys due to his skills and experience, otherwise he would not be able to perform if age was a factor. His performance ONLY HAS TO DO WITH AGE if he finally no longer has it and in his last few fights he still showed he has it. What he shows against Kovalev win or lose will determine if age catches up to him. He lost to other fighter when he was considered old and came back to prove that he still had it. It is how, not if he wins or loses that shows if he finally hit the wall. You'll have to find a way to live with that, I'm not going to continue going on forever about this, I have my belief and you have yours, leave it at that. It is obsessive/compulsive if you are that desperate to still go in circles. I'm not going to convince you and you are not going to convince me. Finished.

I'm trying to simplify the conversation so we can end it. I'm looking for super simple clarity from you. There's no need to complicate things. No need for comments about Whole Foods, work ethic, etc. Just a simple confirmation. I'll take your answer as a "yes".

Final question...

Do you agree with the statement, "Hopkins has aged". By which I specifically mean he’s now exactly one year older than he was this time last year? Again, not difficult, a simple yes or no will do.

Not until he shows that age is a factor. He has not, or he would not be performing at or above the physical level of younger men. That's my final answer. Conversation is closed.

So, you're saying that he ISN'T a year older than he was last year? Interesting point of view. I think I'm beginning to see the root of the problem. Yeah, you should definitely stop talking.

You are an idiot putting words in my mouth and then saying "interesting point of view" which is you talking to yourself like a complete mental basket case. I never said he wasn't a year older, I said he is still performing to the level of being able to outperform younger guys. I already told you I am not going to continue going through countless circles with you. You are not going to change my mind and I am not going to change yours. This conversation is over and if you are still desperate to continue, you'll be blocked. It is way past time to change the subject or change the channel.

[Mr.Fantastic]

Sucks for him cause Hopkins isn't a legend.

You're trying to have the last word. You could just stop ****ing on about it.

Predictable & perfectly illustrated.
