Who should Sergey Kovalev fight next?

[Hougigo]

Pascal is ridiculous for wanting to fight Bute again. Fans are even worse because they would probably pack the Bell Centre to see that shit again.

no way he wants a rematch
HBO won't pay for it...have fun with that Showtime

Thomas Oosthuizen? Big tree to chop down at 6ft 4. Unbeaten (officially).

Doesn't Pascal share a promoter with Stevenson?

He got let go by Golden Gloves, so maybe.... he gets destroyed though

[Weebler I]

That's a good idea.

Chilemba and Kovalev have the same promoter so it might be possible to have them fight as co-features on the same card.

We should be realistic though, Pascal v Kovalev isn't happening if he has the same promoter as Stevenson.

Maybe Edwin Rodriguez would take the bout? but he is an Al Haymon fighter.

Chilemba seems the obvious fight.

maybe Blake Caparillo, he with Lou and Lou will put any of his fighters in with people who're champions in hopes of winning.

Dude was prepared to throw Lee to the wolves

[Pain~Lucy]

shhhhhh, they might sign with haymon and call kovalev a slow ass bum

[Weebler I]

He's someone I hadn't thought of...

He'd likely be willing and make for a decent "stay active" matchup.

Is he still the IBO champ?

[TBear]

Put Kovalev/Pascal and Cloud/Chilemba on the same card, winners fight each other.

I would rather see Pascal/Chilemba with the winner facing Kovalev, Or Kovalev fighting Pascal and then Chilemba. After seeing Cloud beat by Hopkins and stopped by Stevenson, the last thing we would want is for him to be recycled for a possible Kovalev match.

No, the IBO title at 175 is vacant.

This is their rankings (below). I'm not sure how they do things. Does Kovalev being WBO champ mean he can't fight for a vacant IBO belt?

It would be good to see him win whatever titles he can get his hands on if Showtime are going to hold the rest of them hostage.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Most likely be chilemba,,, easiest fight to make IMO

Just no cloud please,,, that dude is horrible and doesn't belong on hbo or showtime

While I agree with your opinion on Cloud, I would be ok with him fighting Kovalev if he beats someone relevant. Ideally, Kov would fight Chilemba and Pascal consecutively.
