    Can Ketchel overcome the size difference?

    No Bones about it Kov was an excellent excellent fighter in his prime. His decline since the first Ward fight is almost unbelievable to me. His legs are gone as is his punch resistance. He has no chance against any of the other belt holders or Canelo for that matter. Canelo wanted him for a reason.
    Getting back to the question if Ketchel can weather an early beating then yes he could come back and take him IMO

    Ketchel brutal KO

    He wont find that Ketchel is gassing in the 8th like Yarde, and Ketchel has a similar level of ludicrous power. I think Kova solidly outboxes him until Ketchel lands something big and finishes him

    Bingo my friend you've nailed it, Canelo wants Kovalev for a reason, and yes Ketchel would get him in a 15 round fight

    Yes sir Canelo saw it so did I. Canelo looking to take a scalp from a shot fighter. When Bivol offered his title Canelo all of a sudden got deaf and blind. They thought the same strategy with G but they miscalculated. Canelo won on paper but he knows G beat him twice. He took Jacobs because Jacobs looked like crap in his last 2 fights. G ruined him and he was past it going into the Canelo fight which is why Canelo made the fight! He will give G his third fight when G turnes 40 then maybe he can beat him honestly. A little off topic i know i just cant stand how sneaky and manipulative Canelo and Oscar are. Building a career on old mens scalpes. Disgusting

    Kovalev is another fighter many on here was calling an ATG (Mendoza and Seamus for two) before he proved anything in the ring. An example of fanboy cheering rather than critical thinking. Certainly a hard puncher but also certainly he lacks intrinsic toughness and cannot take it to the body. Ketchel knocks him out in savage fashion.

    Kova tears him apart, even this depleted version we see now.

    Have you seen film of Stanley? Get real.

    Hey dips*t,

    2 questions...

    Did I ever call him an all time great fighter? Cite the incident, if so. Oh, that's right. You like tossing out accusations without proof. I almost forget.

    What do you bet he makes the Hall of Fame?

    More crap from the crapper.

    The Ketchel Papke fight we have on film is considered one of Ketchels worst performances. It does not represent the fighter who is rated one of boxing’s best.

    Hey crapper. How many times have you lied on here today? Break a record?

    Kovalev can’t take it. Is not nor will ever be considered an ATG. Sorry to burst your bubble. Whether he makes the HOF is a mute and irrelevant point.

    You are the crowned dunce who regularly fabricated accusations without any corroboration.

    You Have zero credibility and have exposed yourself as a chronic casual.

    The General Forum is that way>>>>
