    Sometimes in loss a boxer may become better by using the loss as a teaching.

    Sometimes the loss destroys a boxers confidence and he never recovers.

    After Sergey loses his belt to Hopkins which path will be choose?

    No its not good if he cant beat hopkins, and will look like a stain on his resume.
    if he beats hopkins and stevenson, he already is a very highly rated lhw.
    so he musnt lose.

    He has no credibility whatsoever. He predicted that GRJ would school Lomachenko.

    He also claimed that body shots aren't equal to head shots.

    It depends, if he loses minimally, meaning in a close decision it may prove to be a learning experience, if he gets completely schooled or KO'ed, yeah that won't be too good for his confidence.

    Which path will the boxer destined to lose take?

    Kovalev is pretty old at this point. Does he still possess the ability to get any better?

    IF he loses he probably will try to improve certain things.

    Will you become a better poster after Hopkins loses? Will you actually admit you got it wrong or will you just g into hiding like usual? Hmmmmm.
