It's just mental ************ for the Kovalev haters, but it's just another myth. In reality Kovalev was nice to little Golovkin, no such thing happened when they sparred and he is his known as his bodyguard around here.
If Kovalev had a shot at GGG and the ref is Smoger who won't let GGG off the hook like Pascal, well lets just say If he dies, HE DIES.Comment

What makes you think that?
Golovkin has better footwork, better jab, ring IQ, balance and is a better counter puncher.
Both guys are boxers with fight ending power.
Kovalev has a better resume, but a gap between their skillets isn't as big as you said.Comment

Stopped reading right there. You have no understanding of what footwork even means in the sport of boxing if you think Golovkin is better at it than Kovalev.
Can't believe that was blurted out by a longtime poster too, just lol.Comment

Oh really?
Well then explain to me how Golovkin who has his opponents right where he wants them thanks to his footwork has a worst footwork than Kova?
Kovalev has quicker feet, not better. He's also more precise and fights more economical than GGG. That's what he has over Golovkin in the skillset department.
Get off your high horse.Comment

I made an Alt a year ago and posted 750 times so I could troll you ....okay
Haha sure he does and then he moves up 168 like all those guys....oh wait
Your are a delusional loser, I'm from Dublin Ireland, I'm white , My name is Adam Doyle. But yeah , keep thinking my names Jamal and I'm from Compton if it helps you sleep at night because we both know GGG is a slow handed , slow footed fighter who has beaten nobody and that everyone I named would beat the **** out of him. The fact that you are a groupy of the ogre that likes to punch himself in the face makes sense. Oh and before I get accused of being racist against whites again I think Wilder and Martin are a thousand times worse than Fury..That's just not saying anything.
You are an embarrassment to boxing fans.Last edited by PivotandRoll; 02-14-2016, 09:59 AM.Comment

Kovalev had Hopkins pinned in corners the entire fight , Willie Monroe was able to keep GGG in the centre of the ring and have success. Kovalev is faster and throws straighter and much more powerful punches.Oh really?

Hopkins was a very smart boxer with a great defense and great stamina. He also had a chin of iron and all the courage and determination a boxer could possibly have. He fought lots of big punchers and none of them ever came close to knocking him out or even beating him. He probably never faced a fighter who had quite the two handed power of GGG. Hopkins was an all time great middleweight champ and set the record for successful title defenses. He was unbeatable until he pasted 40 years old. I thought he won both Taylor fights as well. I think a prime Hopkins would go the full distance even with GGG. He would also give GGG lots of trouble and possibly win. No middleweight in history was so good that a prime Hopkins would not have a good chance to beat them in my opinion. Roy Jones beat him but he was still green then and not prime yet.Comment
