Comments Thread For: Stevenson, Kovalev Double: Pre-Lt. Heavy Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - Make no mistake: big punching Adonis Stevenson is the man at 175 lbs.

He is the legitimate champion of the class, history’s Light Heavyweight king having defeated the man (Chad Dawson) who beat the man (Bernard Hopkins) who beat the man (Jean Pascal) after Zsolt Erdei vacated his only tangible link to the lineal crown and moved up while Joe Calzaghe retired with the more popularly recognized Ring title to lay his claim. Stevenson is the champion, the only one that really counts, until someone wrests the crown from him with their fists.

The man for the job might be the other titlist on the HBO card from Quebec on Saturday (10:15 PM EST). Emerging on the world stage this year with thundering fists, Sergey Kovalev hasn’t been shy about his desire to get Stevenson in the ring for a puncher’s duel. [Click Here To Read More]

forget Hopkins going after Stevenson
if these guys win their next fights, Stevenson-Kovalev should be a go
that fight would be great and either guy can win it
forgot all about Bute-Pascal, but don't see either as a priority
Stevenson and Kovalev should go first, then Bute-Pascal winner

Agree. Stevenson v Kovalev could be FOTY material as long as it lasts and it's the fight everybody wants to see

I gotta agree here, I think that both Stevenson and Kovalev are going to win by KO/TKO tonight and should definitely square off next if they do both win.
