    Kovalev was clearly gassing in the second fight after round 5. In the first fight he actually ended the bout looking fresher than Ward. The result of the first fight destroyed him emotionally - if you watch interviews before the second fight he says he basically cut out cardio and all the hard aerobic training from fight 1, thinking it unneeded (this is the mind of someone unwilling to put in hard work anymore).

    I (or anyone else, for that matter) don't rate Shabranskyy or Mikhalkin. So what's left? Barely scraping by E. Alvarez and Yarde to go with the KO losses to E. Alvarez and Canelo? Compare that to looking unbeatable on the road to dropping and decisioning Ward. The robbery absolutely ruined him.

    Ruiz Jr has ruined AJ mentally

    Fury took away Wilder's mojo

    Fury owns Wlad's soul.

    Fury nuthuggers are out of control. A 39 year old man doesn't have much left to ruin.
    It would make sense if somebody had mentioned Sanders or Brewster.

    Senchenko after Paulie gave him a beat down.

    When Pac saw the stoppage, he wants nothing to do with Paulie.
