Nope, I've been screaming on here for the last two years that Kovalev is better than Gennady Golovkin and tonight he proved it beyond a reasonable doubt, now if only the GGG nuthuggers could bring themselves to jump on the bandwagon. I hate people and their propagandistic agendas, it shouldn't be that hard to admit one Eastern European is better than the other.
That Kovalev beats any GGG I have seen in the pro ranks, and for me that wasn't Wards best the rematch will be so both men beat GGG.
GGG has to first step in the ring against Ward for that happen. We're all waiting ... You may not like Ward but he's fought the best. It's GGG who has to prove he has the mettle of Ward.
GGG is a hypejob media creation. I'm not even trying to talk **** it's just the truth. He's there to be hit and it has nothing to do with his bravado like his fans try to claim. As we've all seen he can be effected from punches from a WW. He also has poor stamina that's been exposed in a couple of fights like Monroe. It's easy to look good against poor competition. If he'd fight even Danny Jacobs his holes are going to become more apparent.
I agree with much of what you say especially the media hype. I feel like his defense will probably be a bigger issue than his stamina when he steps up. He does seem easy to hit but Ward and Kovalev didn't fight at a high pace and looked gassed as well. I don't think Brook did buzz GGG but he sure hit his noggin with every punch he threw and Brook would be a tiny 154lber. Imagine the size difference between Brook and Hurd/Andrade
GGG only seems to "destroy" relevant opposition in fantasies. In the ring tough, he's always lining up tomato cans.
thWard will never fight GGG... he said it himself... the ship has sailed. GGG would be 3 inches shorter. I think GGG would punish Ward on the inside especially will all the holding and wrestling Ward does but I would love to see that fight Close fight. Kovalev once said... Genna has thick and strong head.
Boxrec have Ward 1.5 inches taller and 1 inch reachier - that doesn't sound nightmarish if it's accurate. GGG isn't a miniature human.
Ok, you've made your statement. Now, tell us how. How in the hell would GGG be any problem at all for Ward? Yes, GGG has thudding power in both hands, balance, confidence, patience, poise, etc. but is he really any better than Kovalev?
