If Derevyanchenko is a bum (according to NSB), what's that make Kavaliauskas?

[Combat Talk Radio]

Serious question here.

Egidijgidijus Kavalavaiauskas was a hungry young lion willing to step up to the plate. He tried his best but came up short, not before dropping the always durable T-Bud first though.

Wait a minute I didn't know Deryev was considered a bum around here?(I considered him a fringe contender before he mauled ggg though) But kavauliaskas was the definition of a pathetic ultra cherrypick ala Szeremeta,both cherrypicks are a joke of #1 contenders. Bud should be absolutely ashamed of his bumfighting resume but instead hes rated #1 by espn so he thinks hes an atg with a atg resume merely because he got the easiest undisputed in history & is erroneously called p4p#1 by goalposts movers everywhere..

Who said he was a bum? PBC fans whom thought Charlo didn’t need him?

Not one week ago there were at least three threads saying GGG is a bumslayer. Few days ago, people criticizing rumors Canelo was going to fight him (Sergiy).

Since GGG fought Derevyanchenko, that must include him too, right?

You’re asking a question from a question...

No, the title thread IS the question.

If G is a bumslayer, you're saying Derevyanchenko is a bum.

IF he's a bum, then what does that make Kavaliauskas?

[Ritz Kola]

He's not an elite opponent. He's world class but he's not the best of the best. And therefore a cherrypick when considering Lil g outright ducked Andrade and Charlo whom had belts- in order to later on face Drev for a vacant title. Historical Context is everything.
Kalvb was Crawford's mandatory. No way around that. If he couldn't make a unification happen he had no choicer but to face his mandatory. There is no equivalence here.

Derevyanchenko should have won that night. Regardless of whether or not he fell short/lost that night, he's a good fighter.

Kavaliauskas is pretty underrated in my opinion. Crawford deserves respect for that fight. Just because someone is unknown it doesn't make them a 'bum.'

Ok, so when Crawford's mando was Danny Swift and Crawford refused it, what's that make Danny?

Something isn't right. You fight mandos happily UNTIL one of them is a world class fighter, then you complain he wants too much money and turn around and give that money to a guy who wasn't the mando and nobody asked for.

At least with G, he fought a tough, durable opponent with a solid record and decent names on the resume even in loss.
