Comments Thread For: Stevenson To Kovalev: You Bum, You Can't Fight For ****!

[lov 2 box]

He should put up or shut up. He pussied out of the rinht by switching networks so everything he says is meaningless.

So he should take less money? Why don't HBO just match what Showtime is offering

If Kovalev is so bad, then why is Adonis running away? #supertramp.

the only thing we can do as fans is voice our opinion nwith our wallets - I refuse to order a Floyd PPV fight bc it's obvious he truly doesnt care about what the fans want - no matter what he says.
Stevenson is now doing the same thing. Once a pimp always a pimp - he just wants to make as much money as possible without actually workin for it - he'll fight a 50 yr old fighter instead. and, Im not sayin BHop is an easy fight, but he has no fear of taking a huge shot like vs Kovalev - Bhop is just a tactician now

Yea sure but you ordered pac vs Rios

Larry and all the other "businessmen" need to come and explain this $h1t. Not only does dis guy duck and run to showtime to fight a bum, but he now is talking mad crap. What the hell is wrong with this guy??

Your Number 3 favorite fighter...Rigo is just as overrated if not more so than Kovalev.....

Who has Rigo fought besides an overrated Donaire that has been anything special??? Rigo and Lara are BOTH overrated as hell....Lara gets beat down by Canelo if they ever fight and Rigo will be literally running around the ring away from Leo Santa Cruz when Santa Cruz starts tagging his ass.

What supports these statements? I knew Donaire was overrated, but no one proved it. Rigo did and in extraordinary fashion. Lara overrated? I doubt that too. From the fights I've watched he's been quite impressive. He showed heart and determination to beat Angulo who hurt him. And he dominated Trout. You have something against Cubans maybe?

Leo Santa Cruz? Lets get this straight. I love the guy, but he hasn't fought the stiffest of comp either. In fact this last fight to me was a step back. I think that Leo Santa Cruz vs Rigo would seem like an intriguing matchup. But from my analysis Rigo would control the fight from the outside and destroy Santa Cruz.

In fact the only kind of fighter I see beating Rigo is someone with one punch power like Doniare that can stay on the outside and box with him. Good luck finding that. Leo Santa Cruz loves to work on the inside. But he wouldn't sniff that with Rigo without eating hard left hands. Rigo wins this fight for sure.

Now Lara vs Canelo would be the fight I wouldn't predict. As we see Canelo struggled with the movement of Mayweather. Lara is a slick southpaw. Definitely makes for a good fight. Lara has shown he can be hurt. And Canelo has shown he has a good chin. Of course we know this fight probably wont happen. But that's boxing nowadays.

Dude. Haymon took the Stevenson-Kovalev fight off the table. Supertramp had agreed to it, but got cold feet and hired Haymon to help him out.

The losers? The fans.

LOL at people actually claiming racism, for real?? Ok then explain this: I think Adonis ducked Kov. But I don't think GGG is ducking Ward. Please, please tell me how I'm racist, LOL.

[umop-ap!sdn]

Can't wait for them to sign this fight. And they WILL sign this fight. This is all build up, Stevenson is not scared of Kovalev, that is silly talk.

You guys still haven't understood that boxing is a business. Adonis is getting old and he wants to get paid. He can't be waiting around while he ages to get some cheap payday. Showtime offered him more and he gave HBO a chance to match. Obviously they don't give a **** about the fight since they had control to match and make the fight happen. It would do major numbers.

How you assume Stevenson is running from Kovalev because he wants more money is beyond me. Im not sure of Stevenson really wants to fight him since he hasn't said much about him until now. But I did hear him say if the money is right he'll fight him. I don't think he's afraid of Kovalev at all. Kovalev never really has been tested. And Stevenson isn't a punching bag. In fact he's shown ridiculous improvements in his defense if you watched his last few fights. He boxed great and was rarely hit. I'd say Kovalev would be in for a long night.

White worship¿¿¿ Nope. First of all what do you mean by white ¿ In the US white is someone of Northern European descend but in reality is someone with European blood. Skin color is not a factor. JC Chavez is lighter than the late Gatti but Gatti was canadian, so he is considered white. Many times Italians, spaniards, etc are not considered white by Northern Europeans. Even Iranians are white, just not blond. So yes, Latinos in general due to their Spanish blood side with " whites" and viceversa. Northern Asians have light skin and have a calm nature like " whites" so they side with them too and viceversa. Middle Easterns side with them too and viceversa. Tell black boxers to stop the hugging, running, pushing and ****** behavior like Broner, Floyd, etc. and maybe fans will like them more like in the good Ol´days.

Baddest boxers in the world damn for sure aint white or Mexican#fact
