Comments Thread For: Duva: Kovalev-Fonfara Possible if No Adonis Stevenson

[jov6388]

Respect my dude!! - my argument was honestly about the level of comp by the time Pavlik faced Bhop as compared to where Kovalev is at this point in his career- and not going by what respective weight class - you gave good points and not just jibber jabber like a lot of cats on here. Kovalev offensively is sound, but I follow this sport seriously and there are too many intangibles that make fighters great instead of just good - I have my eye on Kovalev, good trainer, good killer attitude / instinct but there is more to it before I anoint him the king of 175 - and it kills me to why people are so quick to dismiss Bhop when he is proven and he is fighting at the elite level at 49 years of age ( remarkable) - I think Kovalev can beat Stevenson, after Bhop it will take a Andre Ward to put Kovalev in his place. You have to beat Kovalev mentally, physically it's not going to happen - and by mentally I mean either 1) James Kirkland him (wait for him in the center of the ring before each bell sounds and smother and grind him out - lol 2) Muhammad Ali him - rope a dope while talking to him, pot shot him, take him to deep waters and drown him, 3) mind games, get him angry as *** then defensively take him apart by making him pay with his mistakes - Bhop can do all of the above to him except for James Kirkland him (too old for that one - lol)

beautifully said ... also i never said hopkins doesn't have a chance that be crazy to say ... pavlik and kovalev just hard to compare ... also kovalev is the is a animal in there .. ive seen all his fights the one that you could see even the one he kill dude just doesnt let up... never punches accurate jabs not slow at all but the fastest but quick there is a diff .... it be to much for bhop right now thats the key right now but hey anything could happen he could drown him late lol confuse him a bit .... but kovalev has fought some slick dudes out there with akward body movement then fights "iron chin" cleverly he has beaten alot styles he is not murdering one dimensional fighters .. also he hits to the body so hard you could hear thudding of them them its certain freak of nature snap ..again not saying kovalev is the greatest ever ! haha.. bhop one punch at a time i dont see him bothering a fresh dude like kovalev but on the flip side bhop might smother him and maul him to death who knows lol
