How long did it take for Kovalev to get Hopkins into the ring, and how long did it take for Calzaghe to get in with Hopkins?
My mistake, I was thinking of the Boone SD. Not sure how an honest mistake which has been admitted, shows a lack of credibility. That just sounds desperate on your part to find something out of frustration You dont obviously didnt watch Calzaghe, or you wouldnt be as frustrated as you are now and so defensive about Kovalevs struggle with a MW or his draw
Dont know. I expect it took Calzaghe longer as Hopkins backed out of fighting him, all those years ago. Still, why didnt you answer my questions? What 40 year old did calzaghe face and how old was Hopkins when Kovalev fought him. Stop ducking
Right so Hopkins was scared of Calzaghe and avoided him....but at the age of near 50, he jumps straight in with the most dangerous fighter in boxing? From here, we can see who was genuine and who was full of ****.
Well when your making stuff up, im gonna laugh at you :deal. I didnt know you made a mistake, you said i cant be taking seriously as a poster, then i read nonsense like that. :rofl So your the one who looks desperate at the moment, Ive seen enough Joe calzaghe fights,Eubank,Reid,hopkins,jones,Kessler,Mitchell,Lacy to know that he wont beat Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev at 175lbs. Never No, He doesnt punch hard enough, he is very elusive, but Kovalev breaks his body and that cant move, kovalev would stab him with hard jabs and straight rights slowing him down and stopping him late.
Nobody said Hopkins was scared, they said he backed out of fighting him which I thought was well known. Kovalev being the most dangerous man in boxing is very debatable too.
Darnell Boone has fought better opponents than most fighters. He's a journeyman but he has some ability to trouble fighters unlike a lot of them. The names he's fought... Ward, Stevenson, Kovalev, Periban, Gonzales, Rodriguez, Pascal, Ornelas, Zuniga, Lara, Stevens, and Vera. Not exactly easy fights for 4 to 8 rounders.
Calzaghes in and out flurries wont help him here because Kovalev showed in the Hopkins fight, he can counter and counter hard.
It's hard to find the Kovalev vs Boone 1 fight as it was removed off youtube a long time ago. I think Kovalev wasn't with John David Jackson then, either.
Guess fans will have a good excuse for him if he losses and is nearly 50? But yes Hopkins backed out of facing Calzaghe years ago. With what you note, Hopkins didnt seem interested in facing Jones when he was MW champ yet at closer to 50 rematched him, so you walked into that one . Now why have you ducked my questions again. You a bit of a ducker?
