Comments Thread For: Duva: Golovkin vs. Kovalev Can Only Happen at 175!

[TRTboy]

kovalev would be too big and too good for golovkin. It should not happen atleast in the near future. I like both of them.

Just Clean Out & Dominate Your Division; Nobody Needs To Do More Than That

I tire from the constant somebody can only get a fight if they move up or down, or agree on a catch weight. Did Marvin Hagler need to go up light heavyweight to become legendary??? If you keep pushing that envelope you eventually find someone who knocks you out, just from a sheer size difference. Does Kovalev need to go up to fight Klitschko???? Hell Cotto won't even fight GGG and owns part of the title due to a win over a shot 40 year old injury prone champ. Let Gennady clean out at 160 and let Kovalev dominate at 175, since Andre Ward would rather fight promoters in court.

Women say ****** sh;t when they get excited. Anyway, Kovalev looked quite bigger than Hopkins last night. He's not going to get any smaller either. There are good fights for both guys but I can't help but notice that it seems Andre Ward is stuck in a **** sandwich with nowhere to run which brings an unsettling smile to my face...Sorry for wasting anyone's time by mentioning Andre Ward.

Kovalev on GGG

As Krusher sparred with GGG, the question was asked on whether GGG's power is real/overrated/a myth?

Kovalev:
"Not a myth. He hits even maybe like not a lightheavy but a heavy, I can't say for sure. GGG's shots are powerful, quick and stiff. I can't say how to compare power of a middle/supermiddle/heavy but when he lands his shots on you, you feel damage on your body. In sparrings with him your self defense mechinism starts working at 100% and you get cautious and attentive.
Off course when I came back from Russia untrained I could not keep up and work with him at 100% but later when I gained my form we had pretty good sparring sessions where we hit each other like mules, anything could happen in those sessions, I got hit, he got hit. That's it "

Who in the world is demanding this fight? Both guys have a lot of unfinished business and two divisions between them.

u sure didnt mind the idea of him moving down in weight but moving up oh no way why would ggg ever do that

what do u mean no where to run he is willing to beat up ggg whenever ggg is ready

Don't think that friendship shows up in the ring. Somebody gets iced.

ya no doubt and besides how many friendships in boxing have been anything more then excuses not to fight anyway?

Are you with his legal team? Cause Virgil Hunter says, we didnt mean it, Ward needs a couple of tuneups first

Ward is an egotistical primadonna. He will not fight either guy.
