      Chavez Jr, Froch rematch, Kessler rematch. All good money but all 3 do nothing for his legacy.

      Kovalev would do a lot or his legacy. I would be one of his best wins.
      At the same time, Kovalev has not really beaten anyone of real note yet so it makes sense for him to wait for that fight to build and take the bigger money matches at 168.

        He's fought a few guys I think Cleverly and Campillo are good wins over Top guys and he's clearly one of the best in the world at LHW.

        I would agree with you if he hadn't been doing nothing for the last 3 years but at this point he needs to sort out the legal issues ASAP and start doing something of significance.

        I don't see much for him at 168. Golovkin's there, Groves is there if he beats Froch but the legacy enhancers for him right now are at LHW, for me.

        Strike while the iron's hot. He tried to let Bute build and he got destroyed by Froch as we all know in embarrassing fashion.

          He's sued his promoter like 3 times and keeps losing. He'll lose this time as well.

          At what point do you face facts and stop fighting court battles you're going to lose?

            When will Gennady Golovkin stop ducking Andre Ward?

              Haven't really been following it that closely in all honesty. I saw an interview with him recently and he seems intent to keep fighting it.

                Nobody's ducking anybody.

                      I'm not even that wrapped up into being nationalistic, but Terence Crawford basically made me a fan for life for traveling to fight overseas, it was fun to root for him like that. And he didn't even get robbed. Just wanted to throw that out there
