If you think he's P4P in top 10 now, you're reaching.

If you think he won the 2nd Ward fight, you're delusional.
If you can name 10 better active fighters than Sergey Kovalev, you're delusional.
I stand by my first and third sentence. Perhaps I could have written if you still think he's #1 P4P you're reaching.

P4P lists are highly subjective and really don't exist in the real world.

You're contradicting yourself. Agreed that p4p is silly, kovalev #1 wouldn't be outlandish.though nobody has him there.

People who are of the (flawed) opinion that he should have been awarded both fights should have him at #1, in order to consummate their delusion.

:lol: I'm not going to backtrack completely. It wouldn't be outlandish like having Joe Parker #1. But there are too many excellent undefeated guys who didn't lose 2 out of 3 of their last fights. We agree, virtually no one has him there.

People that thought he lost both fights and ward was #1 could have him #1. He definitely deserved the first fight, unlike you, I'm long over it. :TU:

Yeah, I'm not talking about Tom Schwarz or Parker as I alluded to. I'm talking about people like Crawford. I almost wrote Lomachennko but realized he lost his 2nd fight, which I guess was your point because he's a prospect for this nebulous list.

I think Crawford is the best, I might have kovalev over lomachenko.

I am as over it as you are, but as you just did, I will continue to voice my opinion that SOGgy won the first fight close. But, unlike you, I was not drunk.

I still have him top five even with the two losses.

Yeah, I talk about it as often as you do. :roll: though I did take your very transparent and desperate bait. That's on me.

I enjoy watching him a lot. Mean fighter who's always looking to get the KO win. I like fighters like that.

I see Kovalev as having 2 good years of top level fights in him. Even if he loses some speed, his experience will help keep him at the top.
I hope he does retire within the next two years. The only thing he hasn't done is fight Chickenson, other than that, there is nothing he need prove.
