Kovalev beat a proven great fighter in Hopkins and another legit fighter in Pascal. You can see that you don't have guys talking bad about Kovalev and if GGG fought Kovalev's comp I wouldn't have anything to say.
They are both awesome, but Kovalev has by far the greater accomplishments,imo and sadly, GGG is probably closer to the end of his career than Kovalev and fewer prospects for legacy enhancing fights into the bargain.
At least the poll is honest, which is more than one can say for many polls one might see on boxing message boards (and alot of other places for that matter).
I thought Serge and I were the only two that knew about him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpggbFGezqY
That's probably because GGG fanbois haven't heard of Kovalev and are checking YouTube right now to see if he's actually a boxer....
