Comments Thread For: Kovalev: If Stevenson Says No To Me, He is a Coward!

[MDPopescu]

The Ward's good fights were those he didn't take willingly -- since 2012 he fought only twice...
On another hand, Ward's best fights were those which he never fought and he will never fight...

The moment haymon got involved it was obvious Stevenson was looking for a way out. Boxing is effing bs.

I'd be surprised if Kovalev won more than a couple rounds against Ward.

Ward can box and run but eventually he'd collapse. Ward doesn't have anything to keep Kovalev off of him and Kovalev doesn't need many shots to drop him.

KOVALEV killed a man in the ring and his anger is still there,i've never seen a fighter kill or hurt badly permanently another man keeping his anger at 100% like KOVALEV keeps,he is really a bad ass with a strenght/power of a bear....STEVENSON is terrified to step in the ring with him. I believe KOVALEV is that type of super men from RUSSIA called THE STRONGEST MEN IN THE WORLD who train themself with kettlebell of 16KG at age 14...GREAT RACE OF STRONG MEN INDEED!!! I still can't believe CLEVERLY made a voluntary defense vs this man,GREAT BALLS BUT WHAT A MISTAKE!!!

Good post. So true. Stevenson has already lost the psy-war. His actions suggest he does not have the confidence to take this fight willingly.

Kovalev is begging almost like Khan for the fight. He knows he can't sell tickets and he can't fight Shumenov or Bhop so if Stevenson doesn't fight him, so he will be screwed fighting lesser names for no money that he is currently making on HBO. Stevenson made a smart move, HBO has been under paying him compared to what they used to pay and what they pay TR fighters. I think he will fight 5/24 against Fonfara, September Kovalev and then the 3rd fight will be the winner of Bhop/Shumenov. However, I do believe a caveat will be thrown in there, that he could fight the winner of Bhop/Shumenov before the Kovalev fight with the Kovalev fight being the 3rd fight. Stevenson will get paid above what he would have without Haymon. Kovalev will get peanuts and he and his promoter know this and really have no option because Haymon now has links to 3 of the 4 champs and no way would he sign Kovalev who is a known racist against African Americans. Just my opinion. But I hope the unifications happen somehow and this year.

Hehe, now modafackaz talking of BOXING. Now they are fans of boxing but BUSINESS.

Kovalev is irrelevant, PERIOD.

Just like Lara, Geale,Ward, Dirrell, Murray etc. for can crushing machine aka Triple Duck.

Has anyone else noticed that this makes no sense?

"Kovalev is ... (bla-bla-bla)"

When hitking and zuz are too stoned to post anymore, here comes sergey.smith...

I'm not Russian and I don't even like Russians...
... But I find it funny when I see that a few Russian fighters turn all these "slick fans" into desperate, confused and inarticulate posters around here...

[mananimal111]

If kovalev is smart. He will join Al Haymon Too. Stevenson is gonna make 10 times more then Kovalev if they fight. Kovalev better get Smart Quick. This is a buisness. HBO trying to pay these guys peanuts...

As soon as we read the word "racist" we know its a black poster. Have you no imagination at all? The main stream media and public schools have made a trained pet out of you.

And, to put this right between your eyes, to write "...He [Kovalev] knows he can't sell tickets..." is silly non sense. Who do you think was the attraction in Quebec city or Montreal -Stevenson, Pascal or Bute and Kovalev? Without Bute or Kovalev do you honestly think Quebers are going to buy Stevenson or Pascal tickets?
