Why does Kovalev get a pass and not Golovkin?

[The Comic DON]

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

Do you have an example or is it something you just say to make yourself feel better?

Pictures or it didn't happen.

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.

I agree, Kovalev seems more well rounded while he gets far less undeserved hype which is probably why he is not as criticized as Golovkin.

Kovalev gets a pass because he's seems a little better fundamentally, fought better competition, and doesn't appear as much of a diva as Golovkin.

and Golovkin probably has a better chin p4p.

Against a 50 year old Hopkins who didnt even throw much? Then get tagged by lesser known opposition with less skill than hopkins? GGG showed great defense in the Lemuix fight, but got hit against brook.

Lol thats the most hurt Golovkin was in all his fights? Then thats freakin amazing. He is so hitable and thats the only time he got hurt, and it was barely anything at all. Thanks for proving my point. Theres video footage of Kovalev getting knocked down with head gear on.

lol. so hitable. imagine if boxers were only tested at one weight class. let's see Golovkin take a punch north of 160 with a leaping hook

Golovkin-Brook was not at all like Kovalev-Pascal.

Golovkin-Brook was not at all like Kovalev-Pascal.

You're right, Kovalev was actually able to hurt a guy in his division.

[Sledgeweather17]

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.

Dude Pascal aint nothing but a bum! He freakin lost to Carl Froch for Mayweather's sake! Pascal is the Robert Guerrero of light heavyweight. Only Kovalev fans overate this guy, everyone else knows he aint shieet!
