LMAO. Tarver was the #1 LHW in the world when Johnson beat him and had just one punch KO'ed the #1 P4P fighter in the world. This one victory alone urinates and defecates on the WHOLE of Kovalev's career. Kovalev hasn't even beaten the #1 guy @ LHW yet. Please remove your head from your ASS...
The fact that Johnson was a champion in the division proves how weak it was. Jones was done after Tarver hence why he never had another decent win, the Victory had only name value. Again Tarver was a poor champion in a division full of AmeriCANS.
Kovalev H2H is definitely the second best Hopkins has fought, 1st being RJJ. How anyone can dispute that is weird.
Johnson's win over Tarver urinates and defecates on the WHOLE of Kovalev's career. Deal with it, Einstein...
Why because Tarver beat a post PED Jones? Other than that it was littered with Cleverly level opponents and he lost twice to Dawson. Face it Tarver wasn't consistent enough to be number one now or in the era when Michalczweski and Jones ruled. And again the fact a guy who couldn't cut it at 160 and 168 was a top 3 fighter.
Well what about his draw with Judah, or going 1-1-1 with Clinton Woods or his loss to Gonzalez and Harmon? Should we just overlook this lol.
Jones is a legitimate ATG and was the #1 P4P fighter in the world when Tarver one punch KO'ed him. Exactly WHO has Kovalev beaten? *50* year ole' Bernard Hopkins? Jean Pascal? LMAO. Please remove your head from your ASS...
Should we overlook the losses journeyman Johnson had at 175? He lost to fighters who wouldn't be top 15 nowadays yet where top 10 back then.
Let's be fair man, Dariouz M. Lost to Julio Gonzalez.. Tarver was in the same league back then, that Kovalev is in right now.
