    Kovalev's next opponents.

    After Kovalev beats Agnew this Saturday, who should he fight next? Ideally, he would fight a durable opponent who could give him rounds. But who do you think would fit that bill? Maybe Pascal.

    if he's going to fight three more times this year, i think pascal, chilemba and a unification bout with the braehmer-maccarinelli winner would be about the best he could do, considering stevenson and hopkins won't fight him. i'd love for him to face andre ward too.

        Pascal would be best. Braehmer would be good, but Kovalev would need to go to Germany. Cloud might be okay but he should have a warm-up win first. Chilemba would be an easy fight to make, but will HBO accept him as an opponent?

        Froch or Groves could move up after their fight. Bika or Stieglitz would likely be willing to move up for a HBO fight, probably not Abraham though.

        Ward probably won't fight Sergey at 175, he'll demand the fight be at 168 so Sergey will be weight-drained, and in California so he can head butt and use other illegal tactics. However, Kathy Duva said Sergey won't weight-drain like Dawson did for his Ward fight.

        Dawson is with Haymon now, so he'll not be fighting Kovalev.

          Kovalev has no future on the U.S. boxing scene...

          Please mention one single top North American LHW fighter who has the syntagm "I want Kovalev next" in his vocabulary?

              I could see Chilemba giving Kovalev some trouble, with his speed and awkwardness.

                Would love to see Pascal fight Kovalev!
