Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Promoter Slams Adonis Stevenson, Jabs Haymon

[Rezelby]

right on Kathy... the pimp Adonis and his ****** father Al Haymon can go rot in hell

We should just find group to silently follow Stevenson throughout his day with signs saying "Fight Kovalev!"

No speech, no action, just follow him around at a 20 ft distance.

I'm pretty sure the Haymon apologist will also find a way of blaming Bob Arum for this..what's weird is this is the third person in 12 months to take shots at GBP and Haymon about their refusal to work with other promoters for their bigger stars..yet people will make excuse upon excuse...don't see duva, dibella and arum having any issues facing their fighters against each other.

Someone should hire the Westboro Baptist Church and tell them the only way Stevenson can be cured of his ****sexuality is by fighting Kovalev. They'd follow him everywhere.

Amen to that. Boxing fans want to watch the best fight the best but since we got these business savy posters that care more about the business side of boxing than watching the best vs best. I guess that's what it's all about nowadays.

Network fanboys
Promoter fanboys

GTFO out with this crap

That's such a narrow minded view. I want to see the best fights but I would be a hypocrite to sit on the internet and tell a fighter to not make a smart business decision when he's getting punched in the face for a living. I'm not a fan of what Haymon is doing but from a fighter's perspective, I completely understand.

pimp thug inner city felon what else can you say about "superman" oh yeah the most gutless coward in all of boxing

[boxingfeind]

Just as he should. It must be somewhat agitating knowing that Stevenson ran to Haymon and Showtime just to duck Kovalev so he can fight an ancient Hopkins.

Unfortunately even with all the fans disgusted at Stevenson's ducking, he doesn't seem to care.

How is it ducking when Hopkins is ranked above Kovalev,and Hopkins is a bigger money fight,and has a way better resume then the Johnny come lately Kovalev?If Kovalev wants a fight with Stevenson,he needs to come to Showtime.The boxing world doesn't revolve around Kovalev,Stevenson have to look out for his own best interest.I did't see kovalev breaking down the door to fight Hopkins when he was Hopkins mandatory, instead he chose the mediocre Cleverly,but it was okay for a lot of Kovalev fans.If Any other fighter besides GGG did that,a lot of you Kovalev fans would have been tearing that fighter a knew butt-hole.

couldnt even finish reading what that ignorant **** had to say, who gives a ****?

the bottom line is hopkins is a more tested, accomplished, higher regarded and just plain better fighter than kovalev. add a higher purse and two titles as opposed to one and he does more for stevenson in every single way.

its common sense really, idk why im surprised people are being completely illogical about the situation because frankly thats the norm. but this might be the worst **** yet, the notion that fighting a living legend like hopkins rather than a guy whos best win is campillo or cleverly is somehow a duck is so far beyond ******ed i barely know what to say.

Where was your criticism for Kovalev when he was mandatory for Hopkins but chose that bum Cleverly instead?And Adonis has been chasing after Hopkins for ever,even before Cleverly was even talked about as a opponent for Adonis,theirs no real money in fighting Kovalev, and plus he's not even ranked above Hopkins.If Kovalev wants a fight with Stevenson he`s gonna have to come to Showtime and fight the Hopkins/Kovalev winner.

That's what I want to know. It doesn't sound like anything is preventing Stevenson from going back to HBO after the Fonfara fight. And could Showtime bid to air a potential Kovalev fight?

Showtime publically rejected Kovalev-Hopkins last year. Highly doubt they want any of their guys anywhere near him


And I'm pretty sure Kovalev has a 3 fight deal with HBO in 2014. I could be wrong
