huh? He eclipsed Joe calzghe with his first title fight, went past him there. How can he not be atg? hmm maybe u r right though. maybe he not finished.
The **** are you on about now? There is a proper, established definition to the phrase. Stop dicking around with your own made up **** because you want it to fit some agenda. Sure, Kovalev might have just shown up for the paycheck. But he didn´t take a dive. He got KTFO.
Not to mention Wards low blows and fouls took something out of him as well. Bowe was done after Golata and I felt Kov was done after Ward.
His last comment insulting the boxing fans was not the best thing. I don't think that will be forgotten in the future. If he felt that way he should not have signed the fight. I have seen fighters fight hard fights and still do well, and sometimes even better since they are sharper. So. It matters.
