Could Kovalev WIN a Heavyweight title one day?!

Not everyone is Roy Jones.

 

Oh please.

Not sure if trolling or....

Those are not the '60s.

 

Yes because in the 60s it was happening all the time atsch

 

No one perceived Cunningham as being a silly opponent, he was only a 2/5 favourite , if Cunningham was a silly opponent than 95% of fights that happen are silly mismatches

 

Chris was NOT a MW as a professional. The he made 2 fights under the LHW limit and 2 at CW before moving to HW.
He actually had some power early in his career, but chose instead to pull shots in becoming a better defensive fight and more responsible CPer.

He knew that his power was bottom 50% in the HW division, so rather than trying to go for the kill when he'd stunned or hurt one, he'd simply employ a strategy to get his opponent flustered or less offensive.

It worked and he had what some consider a HOF type career.
He also did not LOSE to Marinaccio, Sandow. He didnt draw against McCline or Williamson.

As for my prediction about KOing KOvalev.......

Sergei hasnt gone 9 rds. He's known for going a bit wild. Byrd would make him miss, and counter responsibly, and stunning KOvalev over and over again.

As for your argument that Byrd was once upon a time a MW......well, so was Nicolai Valuev. So was Lennox Lewis and so was Wladimir Klitschko.

No one ever calls them blown up MWs.:rofl

 

:good

And if I remember correctly, Cunningham was the favorite vs Monsour.:huh

 

i dont even think fury was in serious trouble he got dropped hard, got up. shook it off, wasnt stumbling all over the shop.
