Duva makes her case for Kovalev being better than GGG

Exactly who has he ducked at 160?

Try nobody.

That said, the division is thin and two top fighters avoided him. Kovalevs resume beats GGG's.

Kov was also avoided by Adonis

I much prefer watching Kovalev. Hard to say who's better.

I'm not sure if that was Stevenson's decision or Haymon's...

kovalev looks like the more naturally talented fighter.

in my eyes he has more fast twitch muscle fibers than GGG.

not only did Krusher beat BHop....he took him down a dark alley and abused my old head...that **** almost made me cry ...I didn't watch another fight for a month after that....and that's a long time for me because I watch fights damn near every day or every chance I get....Krusher is a mean sadistic mutha****a....I love that ****

Lil G is all smiles and Good Boy this and Good Boy that...FOH....we already seen Pac wear that hat...dudes hype him because of that KO streak...but if you examine the **** properly, you'll notice his victims were worthless souls

That was indeed hard to watch. I really thought Hopkins had a chance going in, ya know? I mean not a really good one, but the Alien has taught me never to bet against him. That said, it was shocking how easily Kovalev beat him up.

As far as The Krusher having a mean streak...yeah, but I think he also has a sense of boxing propriety; I actually believe he carried the old champ in the last few rounds and let him finish on his feet. If I'm right, that was a classy move worthy of a great champ. Can't wait to see if AW can avenge his (somewhat) stylistic daddy.

GGG? Look, I'm quite sure that he isn't physically scared of anybody. Imo, very few upper level boxers think anybody can beat them. Period. That said, they all have business people in their ear 24/7 trying to guide them (mostly for their own sakes) to maximum profitability.

He needs to beat some better guys, though. Seriously he needs to do what it takes or be content with not everybody accepting the more extravagant claims made on his behalf.

Well, just watching them there is certainly a debate. Golovkin has a better jab, better footwork, and is better setting up his punches. The thing is, he's never done it against the level of competition Kovalev has. Would those skills still look as good against better fighters the way they did with Kovalev?

Until Golovkin shows it, Kovalev should be considered the better fighter IMO.

Well said though not sure I agree 100% that Golovkin's skills are superior to Kov's, as I think the emboldened part of your post may mitigate those appearances.

Anyhow, here's to hoping we can begin to answer those questions in the new year!
