Comments Thread For: Stevenson-Kovalev Negotiations Are Heating Up For HBO

[hitking]

Ward dont want none with them boys. He wants Chavez Jr remember?!?!?!? The same Chavez Jr who is apparently going to fight Froch 1st yet Ward is talkin sh.it about! Ward is good, dont get me wrong, but Kovalev beats him, might even stop him!

Kovalev isn't on Ward's level. Not even close really. Probably would have his hands full with Hopkins. Probably loses 9-10rds against Ward. Still don't understand why fight fans fall in love with every guy that comes along that can hit hard.

Sergey, are you from Eastern Europe, or have some link to there? because it feels like your issues with Kovalev are coming from another place (figuratively and literally).

No he's not from EE... He's from the U.S. -- he likes B-Hop, Adonis, a.s.o...

I'm from EE and I don't like Russians' politics -- but this can't prevent me from liking Kovalev as a fighter... The fact that Kovalev doesn't meet the current "racial behaviour standards" in the U.S. is not of my concern.

Bu bu but I thought Stevenson was shivering and ducking Kovalev according to nsb? Jumping the gun much. It'll happen HBO has learned from there mistakes on marinating the **** out of fights for too long.

People can't be blamed when he was saying every other name but Kovalev's, even those from other divisions.

Personally I thought it was about money, I didn't have Stevenson down as someone who's scared to take on anyone. He's been to rougher places in his life than a boxing ring.

Nobody is on Ward's level -- not even Ward himself.

with my **** in my hands.

Lol ... That's funny !!!!!

I think Kovalev should fight either Pascal or the winner of Braehmer-Maccarinelli.

How do we know he's not on Wards level if he is as unproven as you say he is? We won't know til they fight, he could be two classes below.... or he could be two classes above and be better.

I mean it's not even like we're talking about a guy who made it to the top and won a title and has some losses, etc.... The man is not only undefeated, but all of his wins have come in under 4 rounds. Maybe he is "unproven," but how do you know he's not on Wards level? Ward had a worse "resume" then Kovalev at one point in his career too, you know

And that last sentence doesn't even make sense...... Why do people fall in love with every guy that can box to a 12 round decision? He hasn't been "exposed" yet... as of now he is undefeated and could very well unify the titles and win the lineal championship and possibly fight and beat Ward. We don't know..... whats worse then people "falling in love with guys who hit hard" is you automatically discrediting him and don't want him to be talked about simply because he "hits hard." I don't know how everyone is "in love" with him..... He's an undefeated titleholder and went 4-0 last year on national tv, he deserves to be talked about.

Also, you're making the assumption that every fighter who gets KO's is just a mindless brawler who only hits hard. Kovalev can box.

Wait until you see Adonis entering the same ring with Kovalev...
It's only Duva speaking for now...
Accidents often happen -- especially to older guys...

[Nay_Sayer]

one of those fights when the TV is already on HBO an hour before the fight happens

Yep...

and Shumenov...which pretty much adds up to all Kovalev's competition.

His username is "Sergey" and he appears to know more about Kovalev's Russian management than anyone else that I've seen on here. I think he claimed to understand Russian before too. Perhaps he'll clarify.
