Face it!...hopkins lost to a cruiserweight!

There is an argument that can be made that ceral lombotomy is a bad poster, but he would argue he is not.

 

Even though Hopkins best weight was 160, he debuted professionally at 177.

 

Nah, a bigger man, but not a cruiserweight. Cereal's argument would have been a little better had Kovalev imposed his will on Hopkins with his size alone. He didn't, instead, he out-boxed Hopkins from the opening round, and had him in real trouble in the last round.

 

It doesn't matter, with the age disparity being so much, I don't think weight mattered much. - You can't count this fight as anything but a strange exhibition match.

Kovalev is my #2 favorite behind GGG. I was happy that Kova beat Hopkins, but Hopkins looked and fought like an old man that night. You can't change what my eyes saw that night, save your breath.

 

^^^ The above post is typical of a person that REALLY DKSAB!!! B Hop is a BONA FIDE ATG !!!! A Phenom. To even go the distance with Kovalev at 50 yrs old is proof enough
Ward wont go 12 that's for sure That's if he doesn't back out again !!!

 

gtfoh fraud!!!

 

Kovalev beat Hopkins
Calzaghie and jermain Taylor......not so much

 

Face it, Hopkins got his shít pushed in yet again by a white boy. Not since The Fighting Pride of Newbridge, Wales came over and spanked Hopkins has he received such a thorough schooling in the art of pugilism.

 

No question Joe beat Hopkins, but it was somewhat close. Kovalev, on the other hand, hammered Hopkins and beat him far worse than Joe did.

 

Boxing would be a very different world with same day weigh ins.

Is what it is, the rule is if you can make the weight you can fight but I have noticed it a fair amount that many champions are always a lot bigger than the guy they're fighting the old good big guy beats a good little guy theory.

That's why I like heavyweight the best because you can weigh whatever you like and welterweight too you don't really see that massive a size difference.

Terence Crawford has been another fighting guys he's much bigger than.

I agree that Kovalev is just a cruiserweight able to boil down to LH and remain strong but the same argument could be said of many a fighter and the reason they win ? like is GGG just a natural super middle who can diet to 160 and rehydrate to a natural super middleweight and feel really strong whereas other guys are way too weak when they try it and fighting guys who are natural middles or junior middleweights ?

It's often said a fight is won or lost in the gym imo it's won and lost on the scales but bottom line is still skills but it sure as hell helps when you know the other guys hardest punches are having little affect on you.

 

If u think kovalev is big look at beterbiev lol
