His name is one time, because all it takes is one time. The point I'm trying to make is that, yes he has punching power there is no doubt about that. But, he's not going to be getting Ko's with top 10 fighters. Not even sure if Bundu was top 10 or not, but still, even he didn't get knocked out.
When Kovalev had an top level opponent in front of him, he didn't get the KO. When Golovkin finally does, he won't either. Nobody KO's Guerrero,so no shame in not stopping him. The same with Bundu.
As for me, he don't have to knock out every fighter he fights. If he puts on the performance he did tonight then it's good. There are areas that he needs to tighten up but all and all he's moving along just fine. By the way, Guerrero is an iron chin warrior. I thought he was gonna fold but he came back with gusto. Big Props.
He's obviously not gonna KO everyone. Still a good fighter, still has good enough power for his division.
CORNY! Ghost has an IRON chin. And even with that chin he was hurt several times and floored. Anyone with a lesser chin (90% of fighters) would go down and out.
On point here! This thread is the reason why some people say their are some really stupid fans in boxing!
I like both of those fighters but I wouldn't call it world level it's more like their opponents are on the world stage because there is nobody else around. Kovalevs best win is a 50 yr old BHOP and Cleverly. Not really elite even though BHOP was. Next he is fighting his most dangerous opponent yet Pascal whose last good win was Dawson like 4-5 years ago and has losses to BHOP and Froch. I like Kovalev and think he can and will go on to do good things but I hope we get some great fighters coming so his resume can reach his talent level. GGG I wish the same for he's a good boxer who also needs better opponents as the current top Mws are last eras contenders who couldn't become World Title Holders. Let's hope for some great upcoming fighters who go on to do some great things after the fights with Kov and GGG so we can gauge them better. :good
GG hasn't been in with a world class boxer puncher, and Kovalev didn't ko Hop who was the first world class fighter that he faced. GG untested, Kovalev tested.
