Krusher Already HOF/ATG
Krusher Already HOF/ATG
I don't think anyone ever achieved this status since Mike Tyson. Kovalev has done alot in just a 2yr span making a name for himself. Regardless of
the Ward fight he's already, at least for me an ATG.

the Ward fight he's already, at least for me an ATG.

Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
not even close, the guys not really done anything remarkable yet and yes that includes hopkins
Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
I don't think he's reached HOF or ATG status yet, but he's been the best Light Heavyweight out there for quite a few years now.
Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
He's got HOF potential but needs to accomplish more at this point.
Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
I figure he ultimately will. Even if he loses to Andre Ward he'll still be a top fighter getting big wins for a while to come. If he beats Ward he's got his foot in the door already.crusader wrote:He's got HOF potential but needs to accomplish more at this point.
Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
If he can defeat Andre Ward, he is definitely HoFamer. If he cant, then he need beat at least 2 top 10 oponents for HOF. Anyway, he have 3 LHW titles, beat some undefeated prospects, beating top guys in their homelands before hostile crowd that i like a lot. But for Hall of fame, you need do something more

I guess you fools ain't satisfied till you see a live death on HBO PPV at the hands of Krusher

Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
I haven't seen many ATG get dropped on their ass by feather fisted men who are not world class imagine the KO record holder Archie Moore who happened to be a Light Heavyweight Champion himself putting afew on the Krushers chin he needs to clean out the division 1st before we start calling him an ATG way way way too premature as of now 
Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
The Hall of Fame is a major accomplishment. It's supposed to be hard to achieve. Krusher isn't far from it, he just needs some more marquee wins. The Andre Ward fight were Kovalev to win because of the P4P standing of Andre Ward would go a long way in making Kovalev Hall of Fame material. Even if he doesn't beat Ward though, another title run or some more big wins could find him in the Hall anyhow.bnovelist wrote:I guess you fools ain't satisfied till you see a live death on HBO PPV at the hands of KrusherOl' bloodthirsty ass n@ggas it's never enough
The winner of Kovalev vs Ward probably punches their ticket to the Hall of Fame for sure, though there's a good chance Ward would already be going anyway.
Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
Caparello stepped on his foot and he wasn't hurt at all. Bizarre and nonsensical to act like that has any impact on Kovalev's all-time standing.ClivePatrickLyons wrote:I haven't seen many ATG get dropped on their ass by feather fisted men who are not world class imagine the KO record holder Archie Moore who happened to be a Light Heavyweight Champion himself putting afew on the Krushers chin he needs to clean out the division 1st before we start calling him an ATG way way way too premature as of now
Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
I don't see any reason to ever make anything out of an obvious flash knockdown. I mean Kovalev got up and blasted the guy out of there in the very next round. It obviously wasn't a big deal.crusader wrote:Caparello stepped on his foot and he wasn't hurt at all.

Who has he beat besides a ancient B-Hop.........I can remember in good detail every Light Heavyweight Champion since the early 80's guy's i'v watched at that time back when Michael Spinks was ruling the Division so when you compare him[Kovalev] to fighter's like Dwight Braxton/Eddie Mustafa Muhammad/Mathew Saad Muhammad/Marvin Johnson/Antonio Tarver/Virgil Hill/Thomas Adamek just to name afew who were top fighter's in their prime but just below the ATG's of this great sport would he [Kovalev] beat all of the fighter's just mentioned

Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
Sergey Kovalev is certainly capable of becoming a Hall-of-Famer, but he's not there yet.
He can go a long way to silencing his doubters and earning "greatness" if he can unify and continue to rule the 175lb division for another couple of years, whilst scoring victories over the likes of: Andre Ward; Jurgen Brahmer; Adonis Stevenson; and Artur Beterbiev.

Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
Just beating Ward will be enough to qualify for HOF.
Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
I hear what you're saying but for me...my own personal opinion is that he's done enough to be already considered ATG status. He was the only
fighter to ever beat up Hopkins like that regardless of B-Hop being passed his prime. Still he never in his 20yr career took a beating like Krusher
handed out. I remember screaming for the ref to call it night in that final round not wanting to see Bernard fatally hurt. Then you factor in that
Krusher is trying to seek out the best, for him fighting the best means higher paydays, which means higher balance in his account when he checks
the online banking Monday morning

Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
Krusher never tries to cherry pick either! Krusher ATG! F@ck GGG that cherry picker!
Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
Neither Kovalev nor GGG are locks for the HOF yet, but I believe they'll both get there certainly.bnovelist wrote:Krusher never tries to cherry pick either! Krusher ATG! F@ck GGG that cherry picker!
Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
sure didnt look like an all time great when chilemba was bouncing those jabs off his head all night, its a basic requirement for someone with kovalovs style to be able to deal with the jab, thats all...

Muhammed Ali got knocked senseless by Euro level light-heavyweight Henry Cooper and only remained in the right thanks to cheating.

Your point is a stupid one.
Re: Krusher Already HOF/ATG
Ya, and speaking of jabs too, Manny nearly got KO'd by one (about 40 seconds in) after he'd already won world titles.
