    Those are just BS sparring stories told second hand by GGG's trainer Abel Sanchez. Sanchez and Kovalev don't like eachother and of course he will blow smoke up his own fighter's arse.

    In a boxing match at 175 Kovalev destroys GGG inside 2 rounds.

      Broner might not be world class (just like GGG might not) but he's no hype job. If he was then it wouldnt have taken Maidana a top 10 division fighter to beat him. He would have lost long before to guys like Taylor, Molina, DeMarco, Rees, etc.
      Again broner is a HUGELY well known hypejob in the fact as soon as he stepped up really and faced a creditable opponent he got decimated. Maidana is good but not exactly got the wow factor has he? just because he gave PBF a close one doesnt mean nothing, khan showed him up, a mean your forgetting broner was bramded as the next big thing right?

        Pretty sure Kovalev admitted it in a Russian interview sometime back.

          Just because he gave Floyd a close might means nothing???
          What did he have to do beat him? No one has beat him. Hell very few have even been competitive with Floyd.

          And khan did beat him but khan is also a great fighter.

          Jesus man your standards are way too high.

            Well what use is getting close but not close enough? Your right noones beat floyd but that doesnt mean getting close is an achievement, sport is about WINNING, that aint winning to me. Ask Dirrell how he thinks about getting close to Degale and ask if hes proud of his "achievement". Atleast you see sense in the fact of khans abilitys its nice to see his name not being slated for a change but anyway broner is a hypejob, maidanas close one means nothing apart from he got a rematch and GGG is good but he aint nowhere near world class(yet anyway)

              Eh? GGG is a double world champion and the No1 MW in the world. But, according to you, he's nowhere near world class yet?

              That's crazy mate.

                GGG has 20 KOs in a row and most of the top middleweights are scared to fight him. He is ranked as the number 1 middleweight in the world by every organization that ranks fighters. In a ring magazine poll over 60% of the readers rated GGG as the number 1 pound for pound fighter in the world over Mayweather, Ward and all the others. Gee, what's all the hype about?????

                  So because some people that read a magazine think hes the p4p best that means he is? How do you know these people even know anything about boxing which they clearly dont? Dont even mention GGGs name in the same sentence as the master of boxing money may. Ward would dismantle him round by round too. Middleweight division is weak, Hes good fighter yes but come on he needs to prove his world class ability he cant just be granted it, oh 20 Kos? It aint hard when the opponent is only there to be hit

                      If winning 2 world titles and having the highest KO% of any MW champ in history doesn't prove that GGG has world class ability - to you -then you must either be trolling or as daft as a brush.
