    Is it not true that Kovalev has been winning in more impressive fashion than Floyd has since the lower weight classes?

    P4p lists and resume comparing is all merely conjecture. As for who has been winning more impressively, that's Kovalev.
    Icing on the cake? None of them were Top 10 at LHW.

    Floyd can beat Top 5 guys who are reigning champions; "They're C class fighters"

    Kovalev fights guys who are barely fringe contenders and aren't in the top 10; "Icing on the cake"

    So what is the cake? Hopkins, Pascal and Cleverly?What kind of cake are we talking about here like one layer?

    You're telling me that's better than Pacquaio, Cotto, Canelo and Mosley? Really?

    Mayweather beats Pacquaio, Cotto and Mosley all reigning Champions and Top 3 in their divisons, two of them top 3 P4P;

    "they're passed it"

    Kovalev beats 50 year old Hopkins who's champion and Top 3 but unranked P4P;

    "Amazing"

    Literally makes no sense what so ever.

    And for the record Kovalev e entire resume doesn't come close to Floyds resume for the past 5 years alone.

      I just said p4p is conjecture and you didn't hesitate to bring it up in the next post. Classic.

      Look Dan, you have an argument on paper that can't be denied.


      Off it, not so much. If we leave all your "facts" and figures and security blanket lists behind, Beating down a lesser yet still worthy opponent emphatically has more worth than shoe shining and hugging a "name" to an impotent ud win.

        Dominating Hopkins to a UD isn't better than beating Pacqauio.

        Stopping Pascal isn't better than shutting out Canelo.

        Stopping Cleverly isn't better than beating Cotto.

        Stopping Sillakh, Agnew, Caparello and Campillo isn't better than beating Mosley, Ortiz, Guererro and Maidana x2.

        Literally no comparison between them.

        If Floyd was fighting unranked fringe contenders I'd imagine he'd dominate aswell.

          I think some of his fans overrate his resume and all of his haters underrate the hell out of his resume, but I agree that his resume over the past 5 years is easily the best in boxing with Wlad, Pac, and Ward as the only guys in the discussion.

            1. Pacquiao eh. Maybe. He had been iced though. Had Bernard ever been iced?

            2. Comparable

            4. Probably not

            3. Really..Ortiz and Guerrerro? And the Maidana wins didn't even feel like proper victories..that leaves a rusty ass Mosley..... Lol

                Do yourself a favor help your boxing knowledge too while you're at it.....you are freaking delusional to even compare Floyd's resume to kov's resume.

                    There is no argument you can make that suggest any win on Kovalev's resume is better then Floyds in the last 5 years period.... NONE....
