Kovalev vs. Shumenov.

[VG_Addict]

If Shumenov beats Hopkins, should he fight Kovalev in a unification bout? Surely Kovalev holding the WBA, IBF, AND WBO belts would get him the Stevenson fight, where the winner becomes the Undisputed LHW Champion.

that isnt a bad idea. that beating bhop is a big IF though

With grandpa one never knows when he goes down for good... But I don't want to see such a thing -- I'd prefer that B-Hop retires as a champ... But I would like him to retire rather sooner than latter...

Kovalev is the best 175 pounder in the world in my opinion. I can understand fighters not fighting him because he will knock any of them out. If Shunenov is brave enough to fight the best, most dangerous light heavyweight in the world then he should fight Kovalev if he beats Hopkins. I think Stevensen will avoid a fight with Kovalev by demanding an unreasonable amount of money.

Sucks Shumenov is with GBP.....also, realistically...doubt he beats Hopkins. Dude is a freaking statue when he fights
