    You sound like the idiot if you cannot face the reality that Kovalev lost and Golotha managed to grab defeat twice from the jaws of victory by getting disqualified.

    Pretty much. At the very least, they'll kick him further down the road, after the Americans go in first. Everyone plays favorites, including the IBHOF.

    There goes Olu again. Question, how did you score the Joshua Usyk fight ? Did you have Joshua winning ? LOL

    Ward got a gift decision in the first fight. It was a draw at best for ward if the judges were fair. Yes ward won twice but he shouldn't have gotten the nod in the first fight, especially because of the low blows he did. I can see your agenda. It's time to stop

    I got to say I only believe that about krusher he was paying people to fight him G and Usyk have both gotten a good push b&b can both fight each other but just don't want to

    Nah. Got to remember this is voted on by American journalists and i think Kovalev proving he was a dick head later in his career will be held against him

    in 10-15 years how will he be looked back. I honestly don't think he will make the hall of fame. but for 4 or 5 years he was a fan favourite on boxing forums for sure but he never broke out as a super star.

    but maybe he'll be looked back on more fondly and people will bring him up a lot. he has a chance but I feel he's at that Border of just not making it. In the nicest way possible since at one point he seemed unstoppable.


    bonus answering a question now asked, Beterbiev only makes the hall of fame if he gets at least another belt. and ends his career with knockout wins in every fight and remains undefeated, and even then I think he needs Canelo. or at least Bivol

    I dont like Kovalev at all but I don't know if it's not even close. I'd say it's close but just a signature win or two away.
