    Not just GGG but they're pushing Gonzalez too. Midget boxing has never been a draw. It's about time Duva stopped obsessing over Haymon and came out pushing for her fighter.

      GGG and Kovalev are both great fighters. But as of now GGG is the master and Kovalev is the student. That might change one day but it is what it is.

      And also it's obvious the agenda that some of you posters have.

        He has a superior resume, but I disagree about being a superior fighter. I get the feeling that he is more vulnerable than GGG. I just have a weird feeling that his chin is not great. I feel as soon as someone can weather his early storm and has enough left in the tank they can get him. Pascal was rocking him, but Pascal has always had stamina issues.

          Golovkin dared to duck any great fighters that came his way. Kovalev's resume is sort of anyone impressive but it's still a sight better than Genady.

            He got knocked down by Darnell Boone early in his career and came back and won the fight and the rematch. Boone has fought damn near everybody and Boone said Kovalev is the best he's faced. And that was early in Kovalev's career.

              First of all I think Kovalev is a racist piece of ****. I'll only watch his fights if he fights a black person hoping the black person knocks his racist ass out. But I'm not gonna deny that he's the best boxer out there. My personal feelings won't get in the way of what I've seen from him.

                Boone has also said GGG hits harder than Kovalev with 16oz gloves than Kovalev with 10oz gloves and that GGG beats Andre Ward. He talked GGG up like GGG was incredible. I mean I like Boone, tough workhorse with a very good punch, but he drifts with an opinion of what he is doing at the time.

                  You have 2 birds one 1 stone type of mentality when it comes to Kovalev and GGG.

                    The interview I was speaking about was when he was comparing Kovalev and Stevenson. My bad.

                      Who did GGG avoid at his weight? or was he actually avoided by those "toughest challenges at his weight"?

                      You live in the world upside down.
