    Ok fair enough, I didn't even watch the Shumenov fight, but Calzaghe's chin, like everything else about his boxing, is vastly overrated by his know-nothing fans. Not a bad chin obviously, but very crackable and when you cherry pick bums and old men it's easier to hide your weaknesses.

    Now Kovalev may very well have a dodgy chin, but Hopkins isn't the man to crack it.

    Kovalev has a far better resume that hyped Golovkin

    Cleverly and Campillio etc

    You might be able to bait someone else in with your tediously transparent trolling but I'm afraid it won't work on me.

    Absolutely. Combined with tiredness having not been in the championship rounds and poor balance and a questionable chin, kovalev will no doubt taste the canvas in this fight, and quite possibly on more than one occasion.

    Hopkins was a master actor that night, not a master boxing.

    Hopkins was PULLING his head down, and still got his ass kicked.

    your looking at weaknesses that kovalev hasnt shown once. he hasnt been tired, his footwork is good, a southpaw opponent stepping on your foot is very common (caparello) and he hasnt been hurt yet, unless you have the long lost video of kovalev vs boone 1. then i dont see where your coming from mate.
