Who was the better win: Kovalev or Thurman?

[mathed]

Thurman no question

GrandPac over Thurman...

[BLASTER1]

Everyone knew Kov was shot but not to the extent he was so while it was a good win for Nelo, Mannys win was better.

20 year old prime Canelo defeats Kovalev by KO in 11th round.

Kovalev was 36, with 3 prior losses (2 by KO in his last six fights) and a draw. His best wins were Alvarez, Pascal 2x and if you count the first Ward fight as a robbery. He was coming off a tough win over Yarde just two months prior. He has an upcoming court case hanging over his head where he may just serve some prison time along with the lawsuit.

40-year old past-prime Pac defeats Thurman by SD.

Thurman was 30, in his prime and undefeated. Best wins were Garcia, Porter, Guerrero, Quintana and Callazo. Six months prior he won a close fight against Lopez.

Ehhh. I would say neither. Both fights involved people who were cashing out. I am not enough of a masochist to take the time necessary to figure out which is the more worthy of praise.

Thurman was injured and needed surgery after the fight, before the fight he had major surgery a long lay off and nearly koed by a B grade fighter.

Canelo moved up 2 divisions and Kov was equal to injured Thurman, so the 2 division jump sways me to Canelo vs Kov and nobody was injured, and Canelo didnt struggle he just walked him down.

That was not near the best Thurman and it was not near the best Kov , but one was injured the other was not.

Kov tried his very best not to hurt nelo while thurman tried everything to kill pac in the ring...

[tjones1989]

Beating Kov was the best win of this century for Clownelo. Pac beating an overrated Thurman doesn't mean much.

Dont you think an injured Thurman is handicapped badly ?

[hugh grant]

Pac s win over thurman is better in every department but more important historically. But nelo win over kovakev is better than flouds win over cw, green.nelo

Thurman was not injured. He said before the fight he was ready. Canelo "moving up" was not much of a move as he walks around as a LHW anyway. He even said he's not sure if going back to 160 is feasible. Even still, Canelo did struggle for those first ten rounds. Most people have Kovalev ahead on the scorecards and we all knew if he did not KO Canelo it would be a robbery.
