Why ppl say Kovalev is washed when both of his Ward losses were controversial?

I wouldn’t say kovalev is washed up, but a prime kovalev ain’t going life or death with yarde.

Right. What I was poorly trying to convey was that the better u once were the more disdain we have when u slip. It’s not fair. But we get angry when the elite become more mortal. Kovalev was hanging close vs Nelo tonight on the cards, but he also wasent really close to winning. He threw very few punches with conviction. Nelo is a great fighter.

Second fight was not controversial.

Well after that, I’d say kovalev is more washed up than we thought. Brutal ko...

I always thought Kovalev was overrated. Never really could see what he did so well. I know he was on top once, I just never could put my finger on why. His Jab was nice last fight though. He never tried to take control of the fight or really try to win. He fought the type of fight that got him kod in the 11th.
