    I'm tired of this ****. everybody saw the size difference but they want to ignore it or pretend sweep it under the rug and act like it didn't matter...sure, kovalev won every round. No question about that. But from the moment the fight started it was clear he outweighed hopkins by a lot more than what it said on TV. The size difference was immediately noticeable. Even if he was really 188, it wasn't water weight...Kovalev is a naturally bigger man. A lot of people have made mention of this. Ray Mancini himself was stunned at the difference in size....

    Fact is Kovalev had more than just the age advantage going for him. He also had a significant size advantage too....if hopkins is bigger or the same size as kovalev, it changes everything. Hopkins lost to a cruiserweight, not a LHW.

    I thought people who started at middle tend to be smaller than those who start at lhw.

    Kovalev weighed in under the 175 pound limit at the weigh in so quit your whining and deal with the fact that Kovalev kicked Hopkin's ass.

    Weren't you the one that posted this in another thread?

    Now that Kovalev has won, you now blame Hopkins's age or his size disadvantage, etc.....wasn't Kovalev supposed to be "crap"....whatever floats your boat :lol:

    B-Hop weighed 186 for Pascal II, prior to Saturday night that would've been Kovalev's highest ever ring weight.

    Kovalev weighed

    181 against Sillakh

    183 against Agnew

    185 against Caparello

    188 against B-Hop

    '"At the end of the day, if I can get a guy to a weight class where I know he's not used to or hasn't been in - why wouldn't I take that advantage or take that chance''

    ''I'm glad Joe (Calzaghe) feels comfortable fighting at his real weight (175) that he could've been at a couple of years ago. I know the feeling, Joe. I did it for 13 years at middleweight.''
