Comments Thread For: Duva: Fans Will Watch KO Puncher Kovalev vs. Anyone

[Foreign Soil]

Kovalev fought Bernard Hopkins and Jean Pascal in his last two fights. STFU and stop pretending Kovalev has been doing the same **** Golovkin is.

I really hate how people try to pretend Kovalev and Golovkin are the same.

All Euros look alike.

You're deep in Floyd's circle of fans and more casuals watch him than anyone as of late and against mostly overmatched foes. This really needed an explanation?

Wow! Thats what you came up with! Using floyds level of opposition to try and make point. Wow!

Hipster form of intellect on display here. Figured as much.

Why do you support the boring & dirty Ward, and dislike Kovalev and GGG?

Ward's name was loudly BOOED by the California fans when Kellerman brought it up after GGG's fight.

Exactly what is it you like about him?

When have I ever said I didn't like GGG or Kovalev? I like both fighters, heck i've even posted a pic of GGG and I at a fight on this site before. I'm a fan of boxing, in the end I want boxing to win. Which means I want the best fights with the best fighters. That's the beginning and the end. Spare me with all your fanboy crap and you nutthugging fighters just because you like them so they can do no wrong in your eyes. That's some female type crap.

It's ok when casuals turn into Floyd's mismatches doe. And he can't even KO them.

Lol it's inevitable.

Floyd v. Khan, Floyd's the favorite
Floyd v. GGG at 54 Floyds the favorite
Floyd v. Manny, Floyds the favorite
Floyd v. Cotto, Floyds the favorite
Floyd v. Lara, Floyds the favorite

Whoever he fights, he will be the favorite. You will view it as a "mismatch" regardless.

Same fans would Criticize Bomb Squad for doing the same.

the promoter can care less about his legacy..she basically says with this headline i want tv time and gate...hbo is right along with me that we can feed him anyone and ppl will watch..but your opening the door to resume critics, but not in kovalevs case he's proved himself vs bhop and pascal..

lol b hop might be a legend but hes also like 48 years old sorry to me thats not proving yourself

Sergey Kovalev’s promoter is sure, though, that viewers still will tune in to watch their fight Saturday night on HBO. After beating Bernard Hopkins and Jean Pascal in back-to-back higher-profile fights, the heavily favored Kovalev (27-0-1, 24 KOs) will make a mandatory defense of the Russian knockout artist’s IBF light heavyweight title against France’s Mohammedi (37-3, 23 KOs) at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas (HBO; 10 p.m. ET/PT).

I have a real problem with that comment from Duva.

What I believe is.....

Gennady Golovkins management came to the exact same conclusion, which is why he only fights cans.

Krusher seems to be cut from a different cloth, but we will see.

and this is the problem front and center. i love watching ggg and kovalev as much as anyone but the reality is their promoters know they can put them in with anyone as long as the public perceives them as trying to fight the best. kovalev rose to fame by knocking out bums and pretending like he wanted to fight stevenson. i hate to be the one that says it but this is the problem with knock out artists their promoters know people will keep watching them even when their knocking out bums im starting to hate kathy duva

Abso-fkn-lutely !

As soon as Team Kovalev start doing the same thing that Team Golovkin are doing, then I will be done with Kovalev as well.

Fcuk fake fighters, seen enough of that shht.

Na bro unlike ggg kovelo is a star because he beat two of the best boxer already in his Division and made stevenson run to showtime and and alhaymon ...when they was in the blink of having a super fight at 175....give credit where credit due[/QUOTE]

Ummm..... they blatantly ducked Stevenson, just as much as Stevenson blatantly ducked them..... lets keep it real.

I dont have Kovalev tarred with the same brush as Golovkin, but if Kovalev becomes CanCrusherII, I will completely lose interest in him as well.
