Wonder what all the haters who said Kovalev was ducking Barrera, of all people, will say now. Something, I'm sure. Something ******... Some new ****** thing to excuse the last ****** thing they said being disproved as usual... I guess now we'll find out.

There's a strange pattern I've noticed with these people, too...

"Lomachenko is ducking Walters" ... Nope.

"Lomachenko is ducking Rigo" ... Nope.

"Golovkin is ducking Jacobs" ... Nope.

"Golovkin is ducking Canelo" ... Nope.

"Kovalev is ducking Barrera" ... Nope.

Why does it seem like they are always hating on Lomachenko, Golovkin, and Kovalev specifically, and no matter how many top boxers they continue to fight, over and over, more than practically any other boxers in the sport, it's still never good enough? I'm trying to think of what exactly Lomachenko, Golovkin, and Kovalev have in common that they're constantly being hated on by the same subset of fans.......

Not another one of these threads where someone in the majority acts like a victim. To pretend kov, Loma and ggg get more criticism than say Floyd or Ward or even Manny is fake victimhood of the highest order.

It is getting ridiculous reading these fans whining and crying as they get their ******ed logic thrown back in their faces. They immediately cry “race baiting” or imply the criticism are racially motivated even when the criticism is from someone that has the same race or ethnicity as ggg, Loma or kov.

What is truly disgraceful is how these posters pretend their initial posting of all these criticisms wasn’t racially motivated but was just boxing related.

It’s clear that a certain segment of posters that support these fighters realize that great fighters are the ones that get the most criticism so they inflate the criticism these fighters get to make them seem better than they actually are.

Ggg, kov and Loma are very good boxers. They are talented and popular on NSB and espn because they fight for hbo. Just please stop with the fake victimhood. IMO they get an unfair bump by some fans because of their race not unfairly criticized because of it.

yeah he declined beterbiev too. for some reason he thinks hes a big enough name to turn down these kind of fights.

[Randall Cunning]

****ing LOL, theres a rumour Stevenson about to vacate aswell. Gunna fight Jack for the WBC Diamond. Alvarez gunna fight for the vacated WBC, maybe Barrera can get in that fight. Jesus what has Ward done.

[Clegg]

He turned down Beterbiev title eliminator because the money wasn't good enough, turned down the Kov fight because he wants a title eliminator. Doesn't really add up because when it happened a few weeks ago, Ward and Stevenson had the belts between them, in terms of mandatories and potential eliminators the WBC has the Alvarez situation, WBA were ordering Jack-Bivol, IBF Beterbiev-Koelling. So I guess he was hoping to get a WBO eliminator vs Gvozdyk? Where he'd be lucky to get a sizeable payday so would he just end up turning that down as well?

Who said Kovalev was ducking Barrera ? When I say "who", I mean posters with a brain. Not ******ed trolls. The opinions of the latter do not count.

[Kagami Taiga]

What can you say, the Cuban school of boxing management. they produce some amazing fighters. But to say most Cuban Pros are managed poorly would be an understatement.

The hypocrisy and double standards he pointed out are real. They work both ways, easy to see that.

you must be on a different forum to me....

[Clegg]

So he didn't take this fight because of an eliminator? Isn't that the same eliminator that he said he was over looked for by the WBA?

I don't think so because the Kov offer was rejected weeks ago but Jack only vacated days ago, so he rejected Kov before there was an indication that there would be an eliminator, and as it turns out there isn't an eliminator now even with Jack vacating, because apparently WBA upgraded Bivol from interim champ rather than having him fight someone for the vacant regular belt.
