    As the story goes, Golovkin practically manhandled Kovalev during their gym battles.

    "When Kovalev first came to me he had nine fights. He was a young man, not in age but in boxing ability. When he came to me, Golovkin was already a world champion and a silver medalist in the Olympics, over 300 amateur fighters….he had all these credentials. So when they sparred, it was a like a very experienced guy against a very inexperienced guy – so of course Golovkin got the best of him, I had him for eight fights and by the tail-end, he had improved dramatically.

    So as far as him and Golovkin sparring, yes [Golovkin got the best of him], but it wasn’t just Kovalev [who got bested] – it was everyone in the gym that sparred with Golovkin – he was able to maneuver them and do what he wanted to do."

    So GGG destroyed a light-heavyweight in Kovalev in sparring and everyone else in that gym, this shows what a beast GGG is. Forget that idiot Ward who won't come down just 4 lbs, maybe GGG can fight Kovalev lol.

    I read another story that GGG was forced to stop sparring Kovalev because of the body punching

    GGG = 33 and hasn't had more than a 1.5 million paycheck while Ward had 2 2 million dollar paychecks. :lol::hi:

    Is this forum eternally the same fighters fans pitted against the others, what's wrong with liking many different styles?

    What's that got to do with the fact that GGG destroyed Kovalev in sparring? Meaning that he would literally kill Ward if they fought. In regards to your comment, it's not GGG's fault he hasn't made tens of millions, that's his promoters fault. You even made a thread today about it, if he went with Al Haymon :patsch

    They should just assign fighters be on teams then make a forum for the fans of only mexican style or only super slick to constantly argue the same things.

    Abel was very complementary towards Kovalev- he emphasized what a good job John David Jackson's been doing with him and what a difference the experience has made. He stressed that the Kovalev that Golovkin handled in sparring isn't the same one as today, and I think that's accurate.

    For the record: Mayweather, Golovkin, and Kovalev all have awesome styles IMO. I enjoy watching them fight.

    If he can hurt Kovalev at 175 then he should have no problems with Ward at 168.
