    I don't see a HOF in SOG's future.
    You worded nicely what you want but you will end up disappointed because this won't happen. But it's pretty pointless to argue with you because as I saw you have your clear unmoveable agendas about some fighters. I think about Mayweather and Ward on first place here.

      They proved way less but still get more respect from some guys here based on different kind of fantasy reasons.
      I enjoy watching both fighters, but don't lump Kovalev in with Golovkin. Kovalev has proven himself. Not a lot, but he has already beaten the **** out of quality opponents and proved his class. He's the best LHW in the world.

        I'm still pissed off about that. I don't want to hear anything about networks, either. Duva knew all about the networks when she pushed to force the purse bid.
        she assumed stevenson would simply drop the belt, then once it became apparent that he wouldn't and that she couldn't outbid haymon, she baulked. it was a power move gone wrong basically

          Thanks for telling us about your dream.

          Shame the reality is probably going to be a nightmare for the likes of you.

            he also took short money to make big fights happen and travelled to his opponents' backyards on several occasions. kovalev is undeniably the real deal. i believe golovkin is too, but he's a step or two behind kovalev in his career

              It's funny poking fun at CoWard but chances are not necessarily all that low this fight happens. Would be a great fight.

                if it happens, i'm pretty sure it will happen at the full lhw limit. it may take place in oakland, but kovalev has proven that he can fight in his opponents' hometowns and that he even thrives being the bad guy

                  No joke, it would be a better idea for Ward to want the fight away from home. Kovalev has shown that he loves to go into his opponent's hometown. It motivates him even more. He has a serious mean streak.

                    A while ago, Ward said something like "I fight Kovalev, what next?" and alluded to it not being a PPV fight and there being nothing else at 175.

                    I don't expect him to fight either unless they're PPV or he gets a huge offer.

                      yeah i loved how he flipped off the crowd after sodomising cleverly in wales. it seems like in almost every kovalev fight there is some sort of incident like that

                      i think this fight is easier to make than ward-golovkin because the power is all in his hands
