    Tommy Gunn would be a step down in competition. The guy would go backwards and get horribly beat up against Kovalev. He has zero ring generalship.

      Don't know. Probably going to be Alvarez. Can't think of any other LHW off the top of my head. Maybe Edwin Rodriguez to stack up against Ward.

      I don't know if people will complain too much about him going up since he died making weight.... well attempting to

        Same thing I said. I think it would be a good fight. Edwin seems to have a good chin and he can punch as well.

          I'd like to see that
          Edwin got on my nerves in the build-up to the ward fight and the fight itself. Kovalev will krush him.

              Anything besides Stevenson is a bust, IMO.



              Alvarez is a Nice looking undefeated kid, but Kovalev wouldn't get any credit for that...... Haters can go ahead and add him to the "bum being fed to Kovalev to make him look good because HBO is looking for a foreign bum to promote" list. Not only that but there is absolutely no reason for his people to feed him to Kovalev right now. That doesn't even make sense. Props to him though if he wants it.



              On a serious note, how about Pascal? Any fight besides Stevenson or Ward would be a stay-busy fight for Kovalev. They're the only 2 possible opponents who have a chance against him in the division, IMO and the two biggest fights in the division that have to happen and two of the biggest potential fights in the sport, period.

                Pascal maybe, but we're all assuming he's sitting by to fight Stevenson.

                As for Edwin.... got to go with Krusher. Edwin way to wide

                  Yes, I would definitely favor Kovalev too. Rodriguez seems durable though. I want to see how Kovalev does late in a fight. He's been too good so far. We don't know much about his stamina as a fight progresses. He'll probably ended up bombing Edwin out early too.

                    I wouldn't mind seeing him fight Chilemba.

                      I don't think Edwin comes near the second half of the fight.
                      IMO, only other way he'll end up on HBO
