If Kovalev beats Hopkins & Stevenson, will they say "the 175 division is weak"?

They seem to make an exception for native Africans. Something tells me they would have been just fine with Ike or Sam Peter replacing the Klitschko's.

 

They are saying it now and they're actually right.

Only the current up and comers in the division seem to make it one of the strongest around again. It's a transition and Kovalev is leading the pack, that's why it's so great he's fighting Hopkins next week.

 

The division is top heavy with Hopkins, Kovalev, Stevenson and I guess you could say Pascal, but other than that it is weak.

Larry Holmes reigned over a weak division also. Stop with the racial bull****

 

If Sergay beats Hopkins and Stevenson how could anyone say the division was weak? These guys beat the best fighters to raise themselves up in the division. It would be two VERY good wins for Kov that could lead him to great things.

This thread really isnt about that though, is it? Seems to me you're just trying to set the stage with excuses is everyone doesnt like YOUR favorite fighters. After all, you're already laying blame for this when it hasnt happened, and you've already got you excuses lined up about paid off refs and judges if Hopkins beats him. In other words, you're going to continue to racially and nationalistically bait no matter who wins or how many times unless they agree about YOUR favorite fighters. Your agenda is transparent. :-(

 

yeah, some will

i rate b hop and kov

adonis is just a huge puncher

its def not a stacked division

but its great the best 2 are actually fechtin one anotha

would love to see kov get adonis after this. hopkins would deal with adonis far easier than he will with kovalev. and kovalev would destroy adonis which would be verrrrry entertaining

 

You've just named 39 fighters. The question now is how many fights have been made amongst those 39 fighters against one another to determine how good they are? This of course has nothing to do with your original post, but since you wanted to bring it up how about an answer? Of course i know you wont answer me because you supposedly have me on ignore, but that doesnt stop you from going through my post history to bump old threads of mine, does it? :yep

 

He has you on ignore? He should be able to read your post now

 

Lol, no he doesnt really have me on ignore, he just says he does so he doesnt have to keep taking beatdowns every time i point out his hypocrisy. If i were on ignore he would have never bumped a Povetkin thread i made two years ago in the transparent hope i would have the same opinion i did at that time.

 

CRABS239 is borderline hysterical again.atsch

 

Urban American ppl are almost always at the front of the criticism of an eastern euro held division.

There are some exception like the nationalist Brits on about the K2 or trying to downplay the accomplishments of Bhop, Ward or any contemporary of Joe C.

 

Plenty of self hating white Muricans as well. Not the least of which is CRABS239.

 

Where you at CRABS? I think your employees are stealing your liquor and raiding the cash register again.........

 

Lol 175 wasn't on the radar until Stevenson and Kovalev started knocking out people. Everyone thought it was a boring division ruled by a boring Dawson who spanked over the hill Hopkins.

Hopkins at his age shouldn't be a champion, and everyone including Kovalev was calling Shumenov and Murat paper champions. The top3 are dominating everyone with ease, so it's a talented 3 and everyone else. I do rate Fonfara after his scrap with Stevenson though.

If Kovalev wins then he is a champion of an overall weak division, but he would still be considered an elite fighter for beating an elite opponent.
