Considering Kovalev killed someone in the ring do you find him distasteful?

[Deevel916]

I wish all fighters had Kov's mentality to go in and crush your opponent. Boxing and many of its fans have turned soft. Brutality comes with the sport.

[Boxing Goat]

No. It was in a sporting event. It wasn't intentional and anyone who laces them up should be aware of the consequences if things go wrong.

[John Barron]

jokes aside, I doubt Krusher meant to kill dude....he was obviously trying to kill Pascal though

kovalev was coasting the 12th til hopkins foolishly stuck his tongue out. bernard was ****ting himself.

so Krusher held the old man's hand and walked him to the finish line?!?...what's funny is that I know deep down you REALLY believe that

He is a good fighter but I don't like him, and I suspect if he is randomly tested you are not going to see the same destructive power...make of that what you will, but the whole build up to the Pascal fight has made me very su****ious.

Now here is the thing - if he is randomly blood and urine tested in the future and comes out positive where does that leave him? Taking into consideration what has happened. Obviously this is all conjecture at this point, but I have never really seen power like his. I mean you can't really see where its coming from. There has been guys in the past where they hit like trains and were skinny and lanky, probably the most high profile was Tommy Hearns, but the Hitman used to swing, and had pretty impressive speed. The leverage he was getting was there to see, even if it was remarkable to look at.

When you observe Kovalev - his jabs are thudding, he has steadied world class fighters with proven chins with jabs, no matter how he lands his right hand, every time he does the other guy is in trouble. He is not particularly strong looking, he doesn't have big legs, or a huge back like GGG. He doesn't throw fast punches, and he isn't exactly winging these punches in, they are often straight and not fast. For these reasons I am skeptical. If the guy is clean I will hold my hands up and he wouldn't be the first freak of nature of this kind in boxing, but it is definitely not normal and worth questioning.

Guys can just have heavy hands. It's not all on physical attributes, it's also in application of technique and natural gift. That's why they call KO artists, Artists.. Defense is having its shine nowadays, but there is an art to delivering sheer destruction with your fists.

He's held to a different standard because he has killed someone. It is not his fault that his opponent died but it does distinguish him from other fighters.

When a fighter talks of the harm they are going to put on their opponent, they do so without the knowledge that their fists caused a man's death. I don't think it is particularly savoury but it is easy to see that they distance themselves from the possibility of death. When someone has killed someone in the ring, they know what their fists have done in the past so their words carry more weight.

I am speaking openly and honestly on the matter. There's a reason why boxers who have killed their opponent typically become timid after the fact. Regardless of fault, human decency makes the guilt difficult to shake off. I'm actually happy that the experience didn't affect Kovalev's approach in the ring, but I'm not going to sit around and pretend his experience shouldn't have resulted in a bit more respect for the dangers of the sport.

By your own admission, guys that have dwelled too much upon tragedy have become timid. They've lost that instinct. Kovalev may be the type that can't compartmentalize his thoughts like that. If he feels doubt or fear about saying he'll hurt a guy in a press conference conversation, then that very same twinge of doubt or fear could creep up in his psyche at the most pivotal moment...

Don't believe it...

[TRTboy]

If anything I'm impressed by his mental toughness. A softer fighter would get affected. What happened was tragic and unfortunate but this is boxing. In kovalev's mind he's probably thinking " **** that could have been me ".

If you're a fighter your attitude in the ring should be like kovalev's. " Kill or be killed ". As a boxer myself I don't know how you can win in this sport not having that kind of mindset.

[GMAN SUPREME]

nope I have no problem with kovalev talking about hurting his opponents this IS BOXING not tennis.

[nivek535]

jokes aside, I doubt Krusher meant to kill dude....he was obviously trying to kill Pascal though

i wasnt kidding though haha.
lets pray for whoever steps in the ring next with kovalev..

[Black-Panther]

He is just a hard man.

Death is a reality in boxing.

Thankfully it isn't that common.
