Depends on the situation. If Joppy had done it to Duran, I think that would be fucked up. You gotta show respect to an old ATG in the ring like that. Joppy knew damn well that if it were 10 years earlier, it wouldn't have played out like that. But this was Ismael Sillakh... Kovalev just happy to land so early and trying to get the fans riled up. I didn't have a problem with it...

But it would have fucking bothered me to see Marciano hip thrust over Joe Louis... get what I'm sayin?

Duran wasn't a nice person inside the ring as well I think you gave a bad example.

And I don't think he went overboard have you seen Ann Wolfe knocking out that tall girl it made Stevenson's celebration after Dawson look tame

I don't like all that over the top celebration. It's ok to be stoked about your win... hell, Stevenson had just won the legit world title by KO1. But when Ann Wolfe KO'd that one chick, she acted like a complete asshole. She taunted the chick while she was still unconscious... she acted like she won the championship of the universe and gained immortality. Horrendous celebration. She needed to calm the fuck down.

Ann Wolfe is a fucking retard. Kirkland is the biggest dumbass to have hired her. I'm definitely sexist, but I think I'm right when I say that women have no place in MEN'S BOXING.

He already admitted he was a double standards piece of shit and said he doesn't like Kovalev.

I don't know, but Roy Jones taunting Thomas Tate in the opposite corner as the fight was being waved off was pretty hilarious.

See, Tate talked shit and got his fuckin ass kicked. If Ismayl had some choice words, then I'm not feeling too bad about it but I've got to reiterate how badly Prime James Toney would turn Kovalev's ass inside out. Like real, real bad. His punches aren't doing jack shit. :deal

Ward UD Kovalev/Stevenson

I wish he'd do it.

Maybe.. I'm still not sold on Ward's chin.
Froch/Kessler if you wanna put it into 90's HW Perspective = punching power of maybe a Tyrell Biggs... someone of that level in terms of power.

Stevenson/Koraleve = Morrison/Tua....

Froch/Kessler are good punchers.. Stevenson/Sergey are LETHAL punchers..

The biggest problem with Ward and this is why I would pick guys like Spinks to KO him 10 out of 10 times.. is Ward doesn't have ATG Power..
He really doesn't.. He doesn't even have elite power.. he have mediocre power.. Edwin was taking flush shots to the face every round and barely flinched.

I think Koraleve and Stevenson would realize within 2 rounds Ward can't hurt them and apply non stop pressure.

I still feel Ward UD both but ..........I give both those guys a 40% chance... Which is 30% higher than any SMW.

I`ve seen other fighters do worse post fight celebrations before, but generally speaking I don`t like seeing anyone taunting a man when they are already down and out. However, I won`t go so far as to say that I wish harm or worse on fighters that do this, and there has to be a distinction made between fighters who taunt a man when he is down due to a provocation leading up to the fight and between those who do it simply because it is in their nature to do so.

To use an example I remember when Erik Morales once fought a fighter by the name of Bobby Boy Velardez I think his name was, anyway this fighter really made a lot of derogatory and insulting comments towards Erik leading up to their fight and swore he would be the first man to knock him out and show everyone he was nothing more than a bum among other things. I don`t think I need to tell anyone here how Morales reacted to these comments and what he must have been thinking, and come fight time he dismantled and stopped Velardez in four one-sided rounds.

After the final knockdown, while Velardez was still on the floor being attended to by his corner and a physician, Morales stood over him while photographers snapped pictures of him with his arm raised over his fallen opponent. Now while I do not condone what Erik did, it was not in his usual nature to do such a thing and it was only because of the taunting and insulting comments made by Velardez leading up to their fight that prompted him to react such a way, and as a result I think fighters under such circumstances deserve a pass.

To my knowledge Sergey Kovalev, much like Erik Morales, was not very pleased about some of the comments made by Sillakh leading up to their fight and obviously took what he said to heart and was intent on making him pay for it. Now this he did do and in impressive fashion no less, and while I don`t agree with his taunting a man who is already down, since I have never seen him act this way in the past I am willing to chalk it up as a one time incident for the time being. I have on the other hand seen Stevenson overreact in a rather tasteless and over the top fashion in some of his victories which while not the same as taunting a man who is down is nevertheless in poor taste.

Either way such incidents should be judged on an individual case-by-case basis, but fighters who make it a habit to taunt fallen opponents or have ridiculous post fight celebrations I generally do not care for even if I can acknowledge they are good fighters. I much prefer the Alexis Arguello and Floyd Patterson type of approach towards fallen opponents and in their post-fight comments and actions, low key and humble. Although with that said even Alexis got upset at Billy Costello for some of his comments leading up to their fight and made him pay for it in their fight, it just goes to show that even someone as humble and nice as Alexis can get riled up if you push the right buttons.
