Comments Thread For: Kovalev: If Stevenson's A Real Fighter, He'll Fight Me

[HeroBando]

You really want me to boxrec these "contenders" records.

Who's the big MW he's fighting again? Hype him up for me... Please. Sell the fight.

Okay, glad you admit you were full of ****

[ButtScratcher^^]

Just a wishful thinking, I really hope boxing bodies can find a way to make every top boxer fight the best of the best every time.

A system where; --greater risk, greater reward system, truly applies.

I know that what is "in" right now is; --to become smart and coward once you are already at the top of your career; this is to facilitate longevity to your reign, and, to maximize accumulation of wealth. But, this is exactly what is ruining the sport of boxing we so love. This "easy-money making system established by cowards" has been backfiring on this once most beloved sport for years and years, and, everyone seems to be blind, don't/can't do anything about it, and what's scary is, it seems that we are beginning to accept this kind of system, --as the way to go system.

So if he doesn't fight you next he's a fake fighter?

Didnt GGG say not now about an Andre Ward fite, so can Stevenson. If it doesnt happen next year im done with Stevenson but i do have a feeling it will be late 2014. The guy is squeezing in paydays and how can you blame him planning for his future.

Kovalev will get his and be known as KOedvalev

Kovalev & Stevenson are in the same weight division. They will eventually have to meet, and sooner then later. In regards to GGG, he would be moving up in weight to fight Ward. He is too smart, he is not going to move up a weight class and take on the #2 Pound for Pound fighter in the World. Danny Garcia, similar situation. He never fought past 140lbs. He is not going to move up a division and take on the #1 Pound for Pound Fighter in the World at the same time.

Bradley moved up for Pacquiao and Ortiz for Berto title shot. Fiters do take on the best in their first fite without any tune ups after moving a weight class. Its a personal choice. GGG has no one to fite at 160 lbs theyre all cowards Murray, Geale, Sturm and Quillin etc period so thats why theres a argument to move up to 168 lbs already where there is more depth and ofcourse Andre Ward.

As for Stevenson vs Kovalev i do see late 2014 cuz Stevenson aint goin to Cruiser the difference is too much going down to 168 lbs wouldnt be feasible either. Eventually this will happen hes only taking ez paydays before a risky fite.

I like the "bolded" words above... They fit perfectly to Andre Ward (who has nobody to fight with at 168) and must go north at 175 -- where the big fights are, to date! Don't you think? (Why "lure" GGG at 168 when he has so many 'challenges" at 160?)

[PunchyPotorff]

Didn't Boone torch Stevenson early? Like 2 rounds? So what will Kovalev do to him? HA!

Hey, let Stevenson have ONE fight, THEN Kovalev. That's fair.

Same reason why he lured Dawson down at 168 lol. But GGG wont be drained as hes moving "up" and only by one. But GGG wants to wait for Martinez-Cotto winner so Ward should move up already and forget about this one. I think Ward shouldve moved up after Super Six.

So to answer your question yes i do think Ward should move up already nothing to do at 168lbs instead of beating up poor Rodriguezes of the world.

It was only a rhetorical question, my quote above...
From my part, Ward should fight o not fight whoever he wants to, should call or dismiss anybody he pleases... But it's a pity that such a gifted athlete and smart guy just wasted two good years in his prime and made no progress whatsoever... Well, but who knows what nice surprise Ward is preparing?
