Why does Kovalev get a pass and not Golovkin?

[muslimer12]

Kovalev gets hit plenty of times, he has many defensive flaws, the same as GGG. The GGG-Brook fight was actually similar to Kovalev-Pascal fight, in a sense that the smaller boxer was hitting the stronger opponent with good punches but was in the end overwhelmed. Both GGG and Kovalev make up for their lack of defense with a great chin and amazing offense. But posters on here quick to diminish GGGs skills but have no problem with Kov doing the same thing, and they praise Kov. Also both dont have the best resumes, and Golovkin probably has a better chin p4p.

It may be because doesn't lie,and say that he was hit on purpose. Kovalev admitted after the first Pascal fight that he was hit too much,and even hired a new coach to work on his defense.

I dont know about that, he was hit a lot in his previous fight too

[Larry the boss]

This is true,every time GGG gets lit up he says it was on purpose and some of his fans believe that ****. Kovalev doesnt say **** like anyone from 154-168 but does not ever prove it. GGG's team and his fans make him a target

It's going to be so funny those Ward signatures turn to Crawford or Spence signatures over night.

[Redd Foxx]

Kovalev has shown better defensive skills (Hopkins fight was brilliant) so the general impression is that Kovalev is a bit more sound, on a technical level.

You mean like the Pacquioa sigs turned to GGG sigs May 2nd 2015?

Pascal is shorter, but not smaller. Let's not forget, he was the light heavyweight champ.

Kovalev's opponents have often been bigger than him (for example, Sillakh and Campillo).

In photos, Andre Ward looks slightly bigger than Sergey, similar height with a thicker frame.

Sergey mostly fought at middleweight in the amateurs.

You can literally say the same thing about GGG
