I cannot give a talented fighter his full due until he fights an A level fighter

    Well they're not A-level. It's just that simple.

    Sorry, but Pascal is the modern day Arturo Gatti. Ultimate heart and badass, but limited.

    And 49 years old is old.

    And Dawson beat Hopkins - Kovalev's best win. A better verion of B hOP too.

    Stevenson beat unbeaten Fanfara as a voluntary defence. Fonfara beat Cleverly . Kovalev beat Clev to become champ.

    Yeah sure, because Gatti could beat someone the level of Hopkins, Bute and Dawson.:roll:

    Hey Dino....Fonfara got KTFO by Derrick Findley he wasn't undefeated. Kovalev KO'd Clev in 4, Fonfara went life and death with Clev.

    Really the only fight worth taking for Kovalev is Alvarez, and he wasn't waiting around until Alvarez/Chilemba panned out. After this is through he'll face Alvarez who is his mandatory. Sucks we have to see it again but really he could be facing a lot worse. All things considered he could have faced a much worse opponent.

    Don't insult the memory of Gatti by comparing him to the joke Pascal.

    Gatti didn't know the meaning of stop. Pascal is like a wind up toy. One burst and he's done.

    Gatti was a warrior. But relative to where he and Pascal campaigned at it's really a stretch to say that Pascal wasn't the more skilled, and better fighter P4P.

    Duva pulled Krusher out of the Superman fight just like she pulled Glassman out of the Wilder fight.

    And Pascal beat Dawson, what's your point?

    Kovalev beat the s**** out of Cleverly, Stevenson went life and death with Fonfara who went life and death with Cleverly. Stevenson got KOd by Boone who Kovalev beat twice. Again, what's your point?

    I didn't say Fury has no hope against Marco Huck, I said Marco Huck has a slight chance, mainly a puncher's chance, if light punchers like Pajkic and Cunningham can drop Fury Huck who's the same size only a bigger puncher does as well. Huck is far more elite than goddamn Fonfara, that's for damn sure.

    If light punchers like Kaberly Salem can floor Calzaghe , how does he stand a chance against Lacy and Kessler.

    Typical thought process of the casual.

    You are the last person who should be calling someone a dope for something like that.
