Will Kovalev be thrown under the bus by his own fans?

[Bushbaby]

Kovalev is a better fighter and bigger challenge right now. He's more dangerous than Froch ever was at any time. The fight is 50/50 in my eyes without a clear winner as of right now. I knew Ward would beat Froch.

[just the facts]

i cant wait for this fight. You all make out this guy is unbeatable. Ward is nowhere near the level of people like floyd mayweather or roy jones, nowhere near at all. Hes very hittable and has no power. People are going be shocked at how easy kovalev makes this look

So despite Ward having not lost a fight since he was like 12, with an Olympic gold medal, despite being an underdog easily won the super six tourney, and has never really had a close fight as a pro is suddenly gonna be an easy fight for Kovalev? Are you truly this dumb or just wishful thinking? Much more likely to go the other way with Ward having the easy night.

[just the facts]

why are you and others making out kovalev fans dont genuinely think hes going to win?Wards best wins are over 6 years ago and hes fought noone good since. Hes not beaten anyone good at light heavyweight, the one guy he fought who could be considered 'above average' was barrera and he didnt look great that night. Kovalevs the guy whos blasting people out at light heavy.

g string ball gaggers should never, ever, talk shyte about anyone fighting no one good.

[just the facts]

Ward can't win without something shady going on.

There will definitely be a crooked referee who will permit the Son of Goat to use his illegal tactics.

Like Ward did vs Froch?

I'll stick to Kovalev whatever happens, real fighter, fights everyone, road warrior, doesnt have any Diva attitudes like Ward. Will always be a greater fighter in many peoples eyes.

Anyway I see Kovalev retiring Ward, guy almost has no fans anyway, so not much is going to change. Ward cannot take an L and rebuild himself. He will make a thousand excuses and retire.

And exactly the same goes for B-Hop. That's why Kovalev gets full credit for that win.

Don't move the goal posts, be consistent.



Just a ****** thing to say. A fighter isn't a better win or a better fighter than another just because he is in a higher division. The only time that's a "thing" is if you were a really small fighter like Manny who is stretching the limits of climbing divisions and size is actually a factor. Otherwise and in most cases it's a complete non-issue.

Come on Wraps, bro. You know Ward isn't 50 years old. I'm not really moving the goal posts for anyone here. That dude is the one doing that.

Kovalev would get more credit from me for beating Ward than BHop.

A nice portion of fans are fair weather fans who leap from fighter to fighter so yea for sure a nice lil portion of "Kovalev fans" will abandon ship once Kovalev loses. The for real Kovalev fans will keep riding with him cuz a real fan of a boxer doesn't give a f#ck how many L's he gots.

By Kovalev fans I mean the non-demographic. I'm a Kovalev supporter, but wouldn't associate myself with the petty side of his fanbase

fixed this for you.

we already know why these non-demographics are kovalev fans. Hell, the dude killed someone in the ring and enjoyed it and these non-demos are still riding his dlck.

Ward is an American, Gold medalists, super 6 champion, p4p #1, and these non-demos still despise him even though he bleeds that red, white, and blue, while PRAYING that he loses to the maniacal, doping, Russian.

[Rip Chudd]

No matter who loses I'll still support both fighters cause I'm a boxing fan. It will be annoying for the first few weeks or so cause you know all the "Oh he was exposed" threads will be rampant. As if great fighters have never lost before. Very easy to separate the boxing fans from the fighter fanboys on this site.

Can't wait for this fight though. Come on Nov 19th!!!

[Redd Foxx]

YES, some of the more rabid fans here already started becoming dismissive of him, coincidentally after the Chilemba fight.

If there's anything I can't stand it's bandwagon jumping fans.
