"I Run Towards the Fire"....The Official Hopkins vs. Kovalev Thread

[Knicksman20]

Did any of you see the HBO broadcast? Roy Jones Jr. called Hopkins an: "old slick c00n". . I wish they panned the camera to Lampley's face...Roy could've used any other word but that

Kovalev looked impressive in there and truly took the stamp of "Best Light Heavyweight In The World" last night

Him and Wladamir are the only 2 boxers who hold 3 belts in the same division

Krusher Kovalev and Artur Beterbiev (who's a beast in his own right it seems) is gonna be a very anticipated fight at 175 and a war.

I bet Stevenson is happy he went to Showtime

Floyd Mayweather Jr only has the WBA and WBC Championship at Welterweight...2 of the 4 belts. Same at Junior Middleweight, he only has 2 of the 4 belts (WBA and WBC).

Danny Garcia only has the WBA and WBC Championship at Junior Welterweight...2 of the 4 belts.

Andre Ward currently only has the WBA Championship...1 of the 4 belts.

On the other hand, Wladamir Klitschko has the IBF, WBA, and WBO Heavyweight Championship and Sergey Kovalev now has the IBF, WBA, and WBO Light Heavyweight Championship making them the only 2 boxers in the 17 weight divisions to hold 3 of the 4 major championships, simultaneously, and are 1 belt away from being undisputed...the 1st undisputed boxer in the world since 2006 (Jermaine Taylor was last)

Roy is country as hell; I can understand him using that kind of descriptive term

I think Master Teacher may be counting that Super Diamond shyt Floyd has at Junior MIddleweight LOL

Hopkins was unlucky that Stevenson is a fukking p*ssy. Not calling him Adonis or Superman cause with that level of p*ssy he doesn't deserve those names.

So he fought Kovalev. I don't think Hopkins got old,, Kovalev is just THAT GOOD of a boxer. Saw everything coming, even beat him at his own game, not to mention the power. Every time Hopkins opened up he was one step ahead and had perfect strategy and reflexes. And let's be honest if Kovalev didn't go all out that last minute no one would be saying "it was hard to watch", just that he got comprehensively beaten.

Hopkins would've beat Stevenson.. but oh well

Danny Garcia has the WBA, WBC, and RING titles for quite sometime

Floyd has had he WBA, WBC, and RING titles in two different divisions

the same goes for ward

what you even talking about super diamond

Floyd has the ring belts with the WBA and WBC at 154

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

what you even talking about super diamond

Floyd has the ring belts with the WBA and WBC at 154

He also has that other belt at 154...holdon let me look it up...it's a super champion belt. shyt I was trying to defend you, because you said he had 3 belts

the WBA is the super champion belt he has

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

the WBA is the super champion belt he has

No...he was awarded the Super Diamond Championship Belt when he defeated Saul Alvarez. Jose Suliamon basically created a belt for Floyd before he died.

the WBC Diamond Belt isn't a real belt its just a tribute to the fight, its not something that can be defended

Floyd holds the real WBC belt at 147 and 154, as well as the WBA super championship, and the ring title

RING Championship is not a legitimate title.

You cannot be the " RING" Champion without owning one of the 4 Major Titles first (WBA/WBC/IBF/WBO), and you cannot defend the "RING Championship" independently either. They could not schedule or enforce mandatory defenses nor do they collect sanction fees, so they are not a championship like the 4 mentioned above.

Floyd and Danny Garcia hold only 2 belts in their divisions. Kovalev and Klitschko hold 3.
