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

[ThatDude44]

Not nearly as often as in boxing, the best fight the best and have no choice but too plus nobody seems to get written off after a loss. Im a Boxing man through and through its the greatest sport there is but it is so crooked and unfair

Well we didn't get May vs Pac because of politics. We didn't get Silva vs Pierre when they were both on top. Then Jones came up and we didn't get Silva vs Jones and Sonnen can still get beat and go to the front of the line for the big money fight like Khan can possibly do. I'd say it's a tie.

Then stay side by side. Don't let him fight in April and then you fight and you fight 2 months later.
Hopefully Kovalev can get decent fights while waiting

That's Kovalevs problem tho - Stevenson offers both more money and a bigger potential reward in terms of status with the lineal title. Fonfara looks to be going with Stevenson - quite simply, after the way the pair of them have ripped through LHW this year, there ain't really much left outside of GBP or Bute / Pascal for either. Kovalev is likely to spend 2014 chasing decent fights unless HBO will put up the $s.

People hate on Mayweather, but almost EVERY fighter who hits it big ends up being "smart" about how to pace their careers. Promoters don't want new stars taking on every risky challenge known to man, back to back. We even see it with Maidana. He just got a big win, but don't expect him to pick Lucas M., Bradley or Danny Garcia over Mayweather or Pacman. They bring the money and most reward for the risk. Same with Stevenson. He wants the money, more titles, some decent wins under his belt. I suspect the same for Kovalev if he gets that big victory over someone like Stevenson. His team will be looking for the big payday vs just taking a big risk to appease people.

Mayweather says it best. "Boxing is a business."

Boxing may be business but asides from Bellew and Chad Dawson who else worthy of mentioning has Stevenson fought?
He isn't getting any younger the longer he waits the closer father time comes creeping near to him and this is me making mentioning to the fact Adonis is like 36/37 years old...
He should take EVERY big fight he can whilst he still has whatever he has left in the tank because I doubt he will carry his reflexes and speed into his 40s.

Yes this is why mandatories are needed to keep things flowing.

Natural order is needed to see who is really the best out here.

Be cautious AFTER you get in the ring.

The answer is to have just one champion in each division, so that the best won't have the excuse not to fight the best.

KOvalev stays straight ***'n down the entire division as they all remain shook. It's pathetic how Kovalev straight up called out Stevenson and Stevenson said he wants to fight an ancient BHop instead...

Kovalev might crack Stevenson chin. A solid defense by Stevenson to frustrate Kovalev will win him the fight.

I looked in the Business section of today's paper, couldn't find a thing about boxing.

Stevenson will be 37 years old so what the hell is he waiting for?

A big money shot in Quebec -- with Pascal, B-Hop... I guess... The pimp deserves a payday...

and B.Hop would ruin Adonis if that fight happens.

[MDPopescu]

Stevenson don't want it .. He basically said he wants to fight everybody but kovalev in his post fight interveiw .. If anything he wants to cash out a little before they fight .

Something like this ^
