He isn't. A loss to Ward won't really hurt him to be honest. He isn't going to retire is he? He's 31, he has years left. Russians fight for a long time, he still has a lot of wins to come, he is arguably the best LHW.

Muhammed Ali got knocked senseless by Euro level light-heavyweight Henry Cooper and only remained in the right thanks to cheating. Manny Pacquiao was KO'd by journeyman Rustico Torrecampo.

Your point is a stupid one.
Biggest myth ever; the glove had virtually no impact on the outcome of the fight.

I was referring more to the smelling salts they used to revitalise him. If I remember right they were illegal.

If he defeats Ward, he'll be HOF worthy.

the Ward fight he's already, at least for me an ATG. :OhYes: :OhYes: :box: :box: :bag: :bag:
He's getting close but not quite yet. He needs to beat a current top 10 P4P fighter or two. if he beats Ward or even Adonis Stevenson that could get him on the brink of HOF. As it stands now, his career-defining win was a win over B-Hop who is still tough but well past his prime.

Kovalev is actually 33 but with only 30 bouts he doesnt have much wear and tear on him. But I agree that a loss to Ward wouldnt hurt Sergei's shot at the HOF, since Ward is already a lock for HOF.

They were definitely legal in the 60's and 70's. Not sure what year they were banned, but are illegal now. I think Maidana got away with it during the Broner fight.

Yes, thought so, it was commonplace to see smelling salts used in the corners.
