would you pick a 50 year old version of ANYONE in history as a great victory. Theres a reason why no one ever has.
RJ beat a better version. Hopkins was greener, not as defensive as he was known for, but still had great boxing fundamentals and could brawl. He definitely had better reflexes and punch resistance. Perhaps Jermaine Taylor beat a better version than Jones and Kovalev. And at least one of those 2 fights could of been a Hopkins victory.
The fans that voted for Kovalev need to remove their tongues from his ***** and become boxing fans not fanboys!
