The fact that kovalev isn't disliked as GGG shows it's not race related, but resume

[Redd Foxx]

Your premise is wrong. Kovalev is not popular enough to get that many haters as GGG has. He has a few that come up every time Stevenson is mentioned. He also got "he's racist doe" haters too. Recently he's got "European plodder" kind of haters.
Sergiy Derevyanchenko has no haters, for example. Professional haters don't know him yet.

^Broken logic that contradicts itself as the post goes on. Kovalev is extremely well known, so much so that his upcoming fight has been the most anticipated fight of the year. He's had fights that drew more than a million, more than once. Not far off from GGG.

Kovalev doesn't do fake call-outs, doesn't bait guys from lower weight classes, doesn't fight in a paper-thin division. Kovalev is such a solid fighter that people think he has a strong chance against Ward. He gets a bit more respect because he's earned it.

Truth is, if you look at the amount of praise GGG gets, it's far greater than the hate. There are about 30 GGG trolls here spamming his praises compared to the 4 or 5 guys who make these critical threads. I think GGG's fanbase draws some of the less sophisticated, casual fans (happens with action fighters, happened to Pac) so some of his fans are highly sensitive to criticism and cry 'racism' as a means of defense.

Kovalev, while still sporting a rather lacking resume, still has decent wins such as bhop, pascal x2, etc. plus he'll be testing himself against the the #1 p4p in november, whereas GGG's best win is a welterweight, that's why he is respected more on here.

It is also why Lil Gina gets these nicknames and is looked down upon by hardcore boxing fans and kovalev isn't. People who truly love the game just want to see Lil G tested, that's all.

When dude is walking through cats at 160, it's time to move up. Kovalev been doing the same, and if he wasn't facing the #1 P4P king Andre Ward, I would have been calling for him to move up to Cruiserweight to chase greatness, just like I call on Lil G to move up and become "Big G" at 168-175.

There is no go reason to dislike and in your case hate either of them. They manage their own career. The don't move up in weight because an ignorant know nothing such as yourself thinks they should. A boxer who moves up in weight when he is comfortable where he is at is a foolish boxer. Ward only moved up because he out grew 168. He made Dawson come down to 168 when he was still comfortable there. You call him Lil G because you are a childish classless jerk. Are you so damn ****** that you actually think GGG comes here and reads your garbage? You aren't insulting him but you are annoying his fans on here. Who gives a fuc if a hateful little Turd like you approves of Kovalev or GGG's choice of opponents or what weight they fight at? They are winning all their fights and making money and they are admired by boxing fans with good taste which leaves you out.

everything you said in this post, does it also apply to Canelo or just lil G?

[LoadedWraps]

Oh please, everyone underrated him before the Hopkins fight.

everyone? Kovalev had a big following on here before the B-Hop fight, me and several others were hoping B-Hop would pass him the torch.

The only people who weren't already sold on Kovalev before that fight are casuals.

We're not talking. It's a message board. More like "texting." I want to cum in Miley Cyrus' mouth tbh. She'd love it too
