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

[diarraisagod]

Very valid points, he's the only 32 year old that's treated like a prospect lol. But, ten again, you have to understand, he's not a black fighter.

Haha that's not even close to being true. Hell there was a 33 year old prospect fighting last night - Karim Mayfield. Nice try with the race card though.

Dude. They had an agreement. HBO, Duva and Yvon Michel. First Fonfara then Kovalev. Suddenly Supertramp got cold feet and only wanted to commit for the first fight.

I don't give a f.uck about an agreement. HBO is willing to pay certain fighters to fight cans and not so much for others. Boxing is a business. If HBO wanted Stevenson-Kovalev so bad, take the L in the wallet for Stevenson's tune-up. They didn't, and now Stevenson has found someone who will. Meanwhile, Stevenson will likely be fighting Hopkins and/or Pascal, on Showtime, for more money than Kovalev will for fighting in Russia off TV. Smart business move from where I'm sitting.

Mayfield didn't have near the amateur career as GGG. And I doubt very seriously that he's ben a pro for nearly a decade like GGG.

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.

DUDE he's getting more money from showtime to fight FONFARA, not Kovalev. A Kovalev fight would have gotten him more then ANYTHING showtime could and would possibly give him for Fonfara



Stop with this ****. Kovalev has been calling him out since last August

Personally I feel that if you have a deal, you honour it. Id have lesser problems if Supertramp hadn't commited. But he did. And then he ran away.

Fans are the losers.

Telling that you worry more about the wallet of a fighter that you will never meet, than getting to see the best possible matchups.

To each his own I guess.

Stevenson murders Kovalev while Ward shuts him down.

Kovalev can't deal with lateral movement, great defensive fighters, or guys with power.

You would do anything to see Kovalev lose...



You have more confidence in Adonis then he does in hisself. Literally.

Even though you're moving the goalposts I'll humour you, apparently they both debuted in 2006.

I'm not "butt-hurt", I'm not even a GGG fan really. But the situations are not the same at all. Look at the circumstances, not their skin colors.

U might not be a Triple Duck fan, u're a black boxers hater.

Just be a man and admit it pussy.

Be real, paisano.

[zuz]

Why is all this black on white racism being allowed here? Is there no moderation here today?

Cuz the only racism being on here is double standard from white latent racist hypocrites spewing bullshit 24/7 at every black boxer.

Open ur racist eyes son.

[JJRod]

How convenient that now he talks about fighting him. Now that he is on another network he remembers his name. Funny how after his fight a few months back he made no mention of kovalev.

What a puzzy.
