So quick to forget what Kovalev has achieved..Kovalev has dominated the division (pre Ward) and this is his 2nd prime.
Kov quit in the second fight, he lacks character when it is really required.
Kov took those nut shots like a champ.
A real champ would have got up and punched him back. Kov was in the fight but got out of the kitchen when it got too hot.

Watch 'Goyo' Morales from San Antonio. At 17 he makes his US debut on 20 January; he is 4-0(4) fighting in Mexico. His trainer, a guy I have a ton of respect for, is an ex pro and a very respected s&c coach. This young man is his pride and joy. Goyo is the 'picked' opponent in this fight but I reckon he wins it. Expect him to be with Top Rank, maybe GBP, within a year, 18 months on the outside.
Re: Three favourite active fighters
Right now by far my favourite fighter to watch at the moment is Crawford after him i have enjoyed a lot of fighters but there pretty behind in the pack. I guess the others would be Canelo then i guess Garcia a lot of my favs or leaving right now.
Re: Three favourite active fighters
I've got so many, but can I add Josh Taylor? Dude is doing everything right.
Re: Three favourite active fighters
There are obviously loads of fighters I like watching, but the 2 that I go out of my way to try not to miss every time they fight are Terence Crawford and George Groves. Slightly below that come people like Lee Selby, Bivol, Spence Jr. , Loma and I'm really liking to see the progress of the 2 Josh's Taylor & Kelly , who are coming on brilliantly.
It's funny because I always pointed out that when people were saying British Boxing was booming because they had 13 World Champions etc. that it was a false figure because some weren't really deserving of being World Champs or handed to them on a plate.
Now , however, despite the fact Britain has half that figure of Champions , I reckon British Boxing is in a far better place and there are some amazing and exciting prospects .
