Comments Thread For: Duva: Stevenson Obviously 'Scared To Death' Of Kovalev

[Foreign Soil]

To sum up: an unified champ who doesn't fight the Russian killer... I understand.

Stevenson won't last long anyway. He's old and it's only a matter of time before his chin is found again. I doubt he goes another year without another bad loss. Hopkins is old as dirt, and Shumenov isn't much good. This so called "power play" is just a waste of money for Showtime.

Stevenson didn't want Kovalev period.

he's been saying all along he'd only take the risk if the money was right.

Stevenson has said " I won't fight you for a million dollars. It's got to be more than that."


HBO was pressuring Stevenson into the fight so in return he signs with Al Haymon to escape the show down with Kovalev.


see Stevenson knows that if he gets KTFO by Kovalev his career is basically over. he's at a point where he can't just start again.

Stevenson beat a washed up Dawson coming off of that stoppage to Ward. And he beat 3 C+ level fighters...how Stevenson won fighter of the year is a joke. He fought 4 times...no big time opponents. I don't understand why Al Haymon fighters can't fight on HBO? I thought it was just Golden Boy that had the rift with HBO?

Mayweather deserved it more just off of dominating Canelo and the Ghost.
Bradley deserved it more also..Ruslan was in 2014 if I'm not mistaken... and he dominated Marquez.

That's precisely why I'm not so harsh in judging him... And what would you expect from a poor ****** Haitian ex-pimp? The guy massively surpassed his actual condition...
I never expected him to fight the Russian...

No, man: Adonis is a good Steward product... Steward did a pretty good job with the pimp... But, of course, one cannot expect an ex-pimp to willingly fight a killer...

Yeah, it'll be worthless in boxing fans eyes without the key piece of the jigsaw.

Hopkins isn't better than Sergey?

weak

This is one of the weakest things I've ever seen. But this kinda goes back to Mayweather. He is all these fighters role model. So they want to sign with haymon and duck fights just like he does. There is no honor. Just money.

Now you realize?
... To date many fighters act as poor man Floyds...

You can't claim to be the best in the division without fighting the best in the division. The fans know.

Risky

Looks like Stevenson doesn't consider himself "Superman" when it comes to Kovalev. I can't stand chicken chit fighters.
