    Maske, Hill, Jones Jr, Tarver. DM. not the real atgs okay?


    Okay i think Kovalev would beat maske to a pulp, Maske was an intelligent rangy boxer, his workrate was good and his pretty quick and a solid champ. I think his guard is open, his chin in the air when he throws and he can be pushed back. Spells disaster for maske when kovalev lands, he would counter him as he pulls back, or box behind the jab and unleash too many bombs for maske to handle, ultra aggressive version. Maske wasnt a heavy handed fighter, he won on workrate and speed, more flurries a nice jab and a decent left hand. Not enough to keep kovalev off him.

    Virgil hill, A bouncy on your toes fighter, amatuerish, a busy jabber. Speedy but, he doesnt put his punches together that well, he is a bit wild. hes not hard to time, nope. Hearns an atg yes not a lhw, timed hill easily, he just waited patiently and jabbed him about, like DM did. his footwork to get position to land the shots was average. He was better on the backfoot sure, did he have great power? no i never saw it, he could counter kovalev for a while, id say kovalev would time that jab, slow him down with body shots and stop him late.

    Jones Jr - short but sweet. Like what tarver did to him.

    Tarver is a hard fight for kovalev, because he is long and crafty with a good punch, he has good defensive posture and is teak tough. Its one fight i would not pick with full confidence. He is lazy though, hes not a hardworking fighter, i can kovalev pushing the fight, if kovalev doesnt get tagged and lands his own. i see a close decision in favour of kovalev, if tarver steps it up and doesnt get tagged he can win a decision.

    DM - I think Kovalev has more natural power. it will be a very good fight to watch with both fighters trying to inflict pain, and establish the jab. it will get nasty with powerful exchanges. DM isnt a fast puncher, he isnt fast defensively, infact i think kovalevs timing would mean he would land alot, and i think he would knock him out with one of them punches. he would put dm down or the ref would call it off, he would go to germany and do it.

    Lol.

    This right here proves what your true agenda is - and that's to give Kanvalev's nutsack a thorough cleansing with your tongue.

    Jones was a dead man walking for the Tarver fights and *everyone* knows this. No way in hell would Tarver have done that to Jones in his prime and the same goes for anyone as SLOW as Kanvalev. Prime Roy would have absolutely CLOWNED the TOMATO KAN Krusher...

    I am now convinced kovalev would destroy a lot of these old timers even there own ardent fans can't come up with reasons to show they wouldn't be krushed

    Jones went up to HW and won a title there against a guy 35lbs heavier than Kanvalev is on fight night. This same guy also had a better resume.

    Meanwhile, Kanvalev's best win came against a 50 year ole' who made his name @ 160.

    Jones would have beaten the breaks off of Kanvalev...

    Ruiz was ****, old, very slow and style wise easy pickings for jones' speed.

    Kovalev would kill roy. His chin is dire, Kovalev hits extremely hard.

    jones aint clowning anyone, kovalev would shift and follow roys chin with a left cross. Roy would be seriously hurt. A ko before tarver did it.

    Do you believe that Jones had enough power to hurt Kovalev?

    Calzaghe is my top pick. I can't really see a way Kovalev can win in that fight.

    You can tell these cats ain't used to having people to cheer for.
    They're way to easilly impressed.

    Virgil Hill can get off the couch and whip everybody on Kovalev's resume.:lol:


    Osamanu Adama is slow as a Fedex truck....He was catching Gigi would LEAD rights.

    That mummy couldn't hit Stephen Hawking with a lead right.:lol:but he was catching Golovkin.

    Go to youtube and watch Golovkin vs Adama:deal:deal:deal

    GGG is washed-up

    I don't blame his management for matching him so soft.

    Kofi Jantuah and Alfredo Angulo KO'd Rubio and Rosado without getting touched.

    What does that tell you?
