Comments Thread For: Shumenov Eyes Hopkins, Then Stevenson-Kovalev Winner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS - Reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) Super and International Boxing Association (IBA) Light Heavyweight World Champion Beibut Shumenov (14-1, 9 KO's) celebrates his fourth anniversary as world champion next month but he really didn't arrive on the worldwide boxing scene until this past December 14th in his SHOWTIME debut.

The 30-year-old Shumenov set a light heavyweight record for capturing a world title in the fewest career fights, 10, when he won (Jan. 10, 2010) a 12-round decision over Gabriel Campillo in Las Vegas. Shumenov's fifth successful world title defense was an impressive performance over previously undefeated challenger Tomas "Tomi Kid" Kovacs (23-1, 14 KOs) on "Danger Zone," headlined by Marcus Maidana's upset of Adrian Broner, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

Go back to being a lawyer. I wonder if Hopkins will beg Shumenov's corner to stop the fight too so he can have a KO?

Shumenov's a strong solid fighter but B-Hop will outsmart and out-technique him for sure. Only thing that can stop The Alien is age and even it is losing that battle at this stage!

Not the ONLY thing, but you get what i'm trying to say.

No he's not, based on what? Clearly lost to Campillo 2X, and only beat 1 top 30 guy in his entire career

How can HBO say no to a potential fight for the undisputed LHW crown involving the legendary Bernard Hopkins?

They best not.

Shumenov is one of the biggest frauds in boxing

Hopkins - Shumenov. WBA/IBF unification
Stevenson - Kovalev. Ring Magazine/WBC/WBO unification
For the undisputed Light Heavyweight championship

you got to get Koavelv and Stevenson in the Ring first... then the whole Showtime/HBO B.S

There won't be an undisputed champ anytime soon

Most likely won't happen that way though. Due to boxing politics and promoters. It would be a good tournament if it did happen but it never goes down that way.
