Biggest fall from grace this year: Kovalev, Chocolatito, or Rigondeaux?

Kovalev still quit...whether or not he was driving a Benz.

 

My phone starting acting up couldn’t finish my thought

 

Kovalev and Chocolatito were essentially forced to quit while Rigo just decided he couldn’t turn the tide and threw in the towel before the situation escalated.

 

Kovalev got robbed twice, he is the same scary mofo he always was

 

Roman, clearly.

 

Lost a razor close decision and then got TKO'd wilting on the ropes out of gas.

Not exactly any robbery there, pal.

 

Rigo has been slipping down the rankings for literally 5 years with seldom a ranked opponent in his small handful of fights in that time. And then he lost jumping up two divisions against most peoples top 3 P4P fighter. Not a big deal. Quit acting like you guys thought highly of him in the first place.

 

Kovalev is an overachiever. He hasn't fallen at all. No one ever expected him to be anything. So it's all gravy for him.

Roman went up too high in weight and just ran into a guy that was too big and strong. Plus he's retirement age. There was no fall from grace anymore than Duran losing to Hagler was a fall from grace.

Rigo had a great fall. He's old, so we can forgive him. But he's not shot. He just ran into a future legend.

 

degale is up there hand picked a true 160lber who was killed by dirrel in 1 round and got beat up and lost

Roman went from p4p to getting destroyed

 

I'm going with Choloclatito. He lost a UD then got KO'd in a division he had a win against a solid fighter in. Kovalev lost a close fight too however his KO loss has an asterisk unlike the Gonzalez loss. Kovalev also had a comeback fight that he looked good in even though it was a bit of a mismatch on paper. Rigo took the biggest risk and gave up too many concessions to really hold it against him.

 

Rigo easily. All three lost to great fighters but only one did it like a punk *****.

 

Rigo Quit

Because he was losing.

Mic drop

End thread.

 

R

Rungvisai is a great fighter?

 

Biggest fall was Rigo, no doubt. Kovalev won the first fight and was also cheated in the rematch. SOB landed three low blows to Kovalev's testicles and Tony Weeks stopped the fight as he was ordered to do. Low blows have always been illegal in boxing, except for the Kovalev fight, although Salido got away will low blows, they were not as low as SOB Ward's low blows which was on purpose and planned. Boxing commission OK'd the low blows, Tony Weeks knew it, so did SOB, those blows were very low. If Tony Weeks had been the referee for Bowe/Golota fight, Golota would have won both fights by knockout! Gonzales fought like a warrior, he just moved up too much.............

 

On principle it is Rigo for me even though I understand why he did it and how all the disadvantages against him gave him no way out. But man, you can't just quit after doing nothing and barely throwing more punches than Buffet in his zombie walk vs Windmills.
