    Kovalev is more wrong for Stevenson than the other way around. Stevenson likes to fight on his terms at a slower pace - even Bellew ruffled his feathers when he came forward and he's not that good at it - very average. Kovalev is one of the better come forward fighters in the sport..

      Garcia ended up fighting Matthysse and beating him in a close fight. If you fight a guy you aren't ducking him. If Steveson fights him then he is not ducking him. It looks to me like Steveson will duck him by pricing himself out of the fight. He is making a big deal out of his new advisor. Al Haymon being your advisor still does not entitle a fighter to get paid more than he is worth. Steveson will be the reason this fight might not happen. Kovalev will fight him for any reasonable amount of money.

        Both fights are 50-50 but in both fights the Haymon fighter is stalling in signing the contract.

        Duva doesn't care though, she's fine with Kovalev moving on.

          also everyone saying stevenson is ducking

          could this be a repeat where we are all proved wrong?
          You make a valid point just don't say all of us were wrong. It was mainly the power pedofiles here on NSB that had Matts kiling Danny. Many of us-like Big Dunn, like Mr Philadelph, and others had danny winning.

            Can we stop comparing fights to Matthysse-Garcia?

            Stylistically it's nothing like that fight. Also plenty of people think Adonis can win.

              Everyone knocking Stevenson is nuts.
              Do you have any respect for Emmanuel Steward?
              Well he is the one who saw so much potential in Stevenson,just never got the chance to finish.
              With that said Stevenson will outbox Kovalev and ko him in deep water.
              Kovalev does not box and if he does not ko you, he will be very frustrated.

                Not to crap on your point completely because i do think Stevenson has a lot of ability... but Steward also saw huge potential in Andy Lee...

                  Touche.
                  Kovalev can he really fight?
                  We have not seen this guy pass the fourth round.
                  I think Stevenson can box(and let me tell you he came a long way).
                  If he can take him past the sixth round I think he would knock him out.

                      Manny also compared Andy Lee to Hearns.

                      So yeah.
