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

[aboutfkntime]

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.

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

Same fans would Criticize Bomb Squad for doing the same.

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.

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.

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.

[Fetta]

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?

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.

Its a forum not a classroom. i asked for explanation not a grammer lesson.

Ive stated before that i think Kov is real. And didn't lump them into the same pool but lumped GGG into the comment made by Duva that fans will watch KO punchers v anyone
