    Michalczweski was at the end of a long hard career.

    I've no problem with Tarver he would have been a champion at some point today but Johnson certainly not.

    I love how Hopkins losses vs elite fighters post his 40th birthday are used to attempt to cast shade on his legacy. The fact that he even took on a Joe cal or kovalev at half a century only add to his greatness

    You haven't answered the question, Einstein.

    Exactly WHO has the TOMATO KAN Krusher beaten?
     
  5. Lets be fair man and count all of Jones' late career losses against him also.

    DM lost to Gonzalez in his second to last fight.
     
  6. The guy who you are currently defending and picked to beat Kov.

    :thumbsup

    The TOMATO KAN Krusher doesn't get credit for fights that haven't happened, Genius.

    You're defending Hopkins, yet going by your logic he is a Krushed Kan

    before their fight, he predicted hopkins schooling kov. now he simply beat an old man. he'll do the same with ward and stevenson. stevenson was too old, ward too rusty and small. bet your life on it.

    Both Pascal and Hopkins are better than a Tarver win.

    Throw into the mix Tarver is a known PED cheat along with Jones.

    It's clear why you don't like Kovalev you little demographic you.

    There were a bunch od these "Hopkins will school Kovalev" threads pre-fight

    It was hilarious to see them bumped afterwards :lol:

    Yet amazingly you want to give Ward credit for fighting Kovalev....yet it's not happened yet.
     
  14. "Andre Ward.

    If Ward beats Kovalev, and he will, Bumlovkin can one up Mayweather by beating Ward @ 175lbs.."


    Too easy
