    I found what he said now, he made remarks placing homosexuality and abortion on a par with pedophilia.

    Kovalev for me. He pissed away great talent and potential. A sad story but it is what it is.
    Throwing the Canelo fight certainly did not help.

    I was a huge fan of Adonis Stevenson even before he KOd Chad Dawson but he lost me after Cloud when his comp level started to drop drastically.. I even believed that Main Event wasn’t in a rush to match Kovalev with him but there’s no excuse for him not fighting any other top LHWs in his era..

    No Hopkins
    No Ward
    No Pascal
    No Alvarez
    No Chilemba
    No Campillo
    No Barrera
    No Cleverly..

    And when his competition level goes up he fights to a draw with Badou Jack and almost gets killed against Gvozdyk.. It’s kinda hard to make a case for someone when they clearly ducked a whole era of top 10 opponents in his division..

    I’m afraid Bud Crawford is heading in a similar direction also..

    I was a fan of Floyd way back and when he started to handpick and only care about his undefeated record I lost interest.

    But that's where we disagree. He is allowed to maintain his religious belief without apology. Whether we agree or not.
    Joshua didn't just say boycott shops. He said boycott (their) shops. A role model within the British black community (and British society in general) creating division is worse for me. He said it was someone else's words when the backlash started. That's easy. His racial slurs in the past as well as this could lead some to believe he does hold some sort of anger for white people. Personally I don't take it too seriously, but can see why some would.

    Yes, basically what I mentioned he had said. He's allowed to believe that. Don't let society tell you he isn't.
    Whilst he might believe it is wrong it doesn't make him treat them differently and that's what matters. He has said he holds nothing against them since

    Haye, post move to heavyweight. A fighter who was game and looked to take on all-comers at CW, to a guy who looked for the easiest way to a title at HW and ended up spoling what could have been a very interesting career. It was like he did a complete 180.

    I really believed in Canelo coming up and then watched him basically quit against Floyd. He almost brought me back around but then he became Clenelo and that flushed away all the goodwill. Gifted a robbery draw against GGG and since then has just focused on fighting spent 40yr old men and guys like Rocky F'ing Fielding.

    Liked Mikey Garcia a lot too coming up. Then he blatantly ducked Loma and wasted everyone's time by offering himself up as a sacrificial lamb to Errol Spence. He didn't come close to winning even a single round. Embarrassment. All so that he could avoid losing to a much smaller man in Lomachenko.

    And...I think...Errol Spence. Really liked Errol as he was coming up. Has a solid win against Brook. Lamont PEDerson was 80% shot and Shawn Porter was a solid war but I really think that was a draw. I give him credit for coming back after that crash and taking on Danny Garcia who's a stiff test for anyone. He makes solid fights, but I really do believe he's going to duck Terrance Crawford like the plague. The man has no intention of fighting Crawford and I can smell faint scent of genuine fear in those interviews that's growing stronger all every time. It's the best fight in boxing by a mile, Crawford is begging for it ....and I think Spence wants 0.00% of it.

    This.
    Kovalev physically became a LHW David Price. He also degraded mentally and admits that he only fights for money and hardly even trains.

    Wilder. He does too much talking for a guy who is not near as as good as he is made out to be.

    loved Tyson Fury but not anymore because he constantly changes his mind like weather and doesn't have a firm opinion about another boxer...

    Very few I've given up on. Not one to jump on/off a bandwagon for petty fanboy reasons.
