And I think anyone with some sense knows Kov is the best light heavyweight around
Yeah but Floyd has fought legit p4p greats, why does Kovalev constitute a better opponent than anyone Floyd has faced? Because he hits hard? A lot of guys hit hard. Canelo had more weight on Floyd on fight night than Kovalev had on Bhop, and Canelo was also the undisputed #1 at 154.

Also, someone please explain to me how Hopkins fighting Kovalev, a guy in the same fucking weight division as him and had 6-7 pounds on him on fight night is equal to Floyd fighting GGG, a guy who is TWO weight classes above him? Here's a tidbit: on the night of Golovkin's last fight, he weighed 173lbs. On the night of Floyd's last fight, he weighed 147. So someone please tell me how you can possibly equate those two?

Some people say the dumbest shit on these boards, man... yikes
