Now you realize...

What a POOR excuse. IF Kovalev has no fan base what does Fonfara have? Is the money right for Fonfara?? IF Kovalev is easy work then the money should be right for that Fight TOO. It will be more than you're getting for Fonfara.

Isn't Kovalev the one who was Hopkins mandatory but chose to fight a bum from Europe instead for a belt?Why am i not surprised that their was no outrage from the same people on this board who is bashing Adonis?But yet these same people on this board want to make a big fuss because Adonis is supposedly ducking Kovalev.These are the same people who defended GGG,when GGG camp said they were discussing a possible fight between GGG and Chavez Junior,instead of GGG taking on Andre Ward.

There`s no doubt in my mind that Adonis is eventually gonna fight Kovalev and i hope he knocks him out cold.And if or when GGG cherry-picks Chavez i hope Chavez ko`s him also-so that way we`ll have another cherry-pick gone wrong-just like when Pacquiao waited to when Marquez got old to give him a rematch but Pac would up getting ko`ed.

Wasn`t pacquiao the one that didn`t want to fight Floyd 4 years ago because he didn`t want to fight without his roids?Even though Floyd offered him 50% back in 2009 and agreed to all of Pacquiao`s demand.

No you jacka$$, Hopkins told him to go fight Cleverly. I'm positive you've seen this link before, how many times till it sinks in?

Though Showtime was ready to televise Hopkins against then-mandatory Karo Murat on July 13 -- before Murat dropped out because of an inability to get a visa -- the network, from what Hopkins said, is not interested in putting him on against Kovalev.

Go figure, because Hopkins-Kovalev is a much, much more interesting fight than Hopkins-Murat ever was.

“[Kovalev] is a good puncher and some people are excited about him,” Hopkins said. “He’s a better quality name than Karo Murat is.”

The reason for Showtime’s possible reluctance to put on Hopkins-Kovalev is because it is not heavily invested in the division and doesn’t have any future rights on Kovalev, so it wouldn’t want to build him up only to see him beat Hopkins and then go to HBO, which is doing a ton of business at light heavyweight and super middleweight.

So while Hopkins waits to see what will happen, he made a suggestion -- that Kovalev go fight Cleverly, and he would be happy to face new champ Adonis Stevenson, who drilled Chad Dawson in the first round June 8 to win the lineal title Hopkins used to hold (as well as an alphabet belt Hopkins used to own before losing to Dawson). Stevenson said he was interested in fighting Hopkins after beating Dawson.

“For me, it’s a no-brainer,” the 48-year-old Hopkins said. “Kovalev can go get Cleverly, I can probably get Adonis and we go head-to-head and give the fans the old light heavyweight battles they had in the late '70 and '80s, and then the winners can fight. It doesn’t seem complicated. OK, maybe I’m being a little sarcastic.”

Stevenson says Kovalev is easy work but won't fight him till the money is right. Think about that for a second, this guy has excuses on deck.
