Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: Sergey Kovalev is Pretty Much Done at 35!

[MisanthropicNY]

Well, ironically then, Jones and Kova were both done at 35.

Nah he ain't done Roy. He can fight for 15 more years past his prime like you did.

As I said last night, it's over for Kovalev, I have a hard time seeing him getting in a ring again. Ward took his aura of invincibility away and Alvarez snatched his soul last night. I'm curious to see how Kovalev will be remembered and how differently his career might have gone if the first Ward fight was scored in his favor

I'm not getting personal here, but with that attitude of 'what if' you really don't understand the true nature of boxing as a sport. If he was the real deal, he would have come back from the first Ward defeat, regardless of how it was scored.
The boxing ring is called 'the ring of truth' for a reason - the truth always comes eventually.
A fighters psychological, physical or technical flaws will always be revealed by the right opponent, even if they've been hidden before. Kovalev always had flaws, you can't blame anything on the first Ward fight scoring, someone else good enough would still have beat him. Then he would have crumbled, just like he has.
You can't wonder about 'what if's in boxing, it's just denial of reality. That's one of the reasons I love it so much. Bull**** always walks eventually.

Krusher needs a PED specialist to Get him back on track
His arms and Skills were a third the size of Alvarez

Skull Not Skills

He is just like Mike Tyson. At first everyone was afraid of the Krusher but now since he's starting to get his ass kicked now everybody is lining up wanting to fight him. Andre Ward ruined this Kid.

Very unfortunate to hear Roy give up on someone who was in a clear decisive lead up until that thunderous right hand. Kovalev lost to an undefeated fighter and there’s no shame in that. I think he beats a slower Bivol still but he certainly has to regroup. By Roy’s account, Roy should’ve called his career finished after the KO to Tarver but didn’t and neither should Kovalev.

Didn't really work out for Andre either. It was clear from the first fight with Kovalev that he could be outboxed by someone of his own size with a little more power. The light-heavy division is chock-full of guys like that.

yeah it is not a "STYLE" made to last long

Kovalev is old. No matter what.

What did I say?
