First of all, Kovalev has been knocking people out left and right. He's sort of a monster in his own right. I thought for sure he was going to KO...
I say it's an embarrassment because in doing this comparison you will be forced to consider Roys total career like you would in any fighter...

He sounds a little slurry to me in that foo fighter video.
He did not retire after the loss to Hopkins in 2008. He had 7 more fights after that winning 6 of them including a win over Marco Antonio Rubio...
