Comments Thread For: Duva Fires Away at Stevenson, Showtime Over Ratings

[bojangles1987]

I cannot fathom a rational reason why anyone would want Kovalev to fight two guys who are both on losing streaks and have looked like **** for years over a guy who just gave Stevenson a challenge and has won recently. I can't think of a rational argument for it.

Cloud was a former champ, and not a very good one at that. So, the Stevenson fight was not a unification fight.

Right Hopkins beat him 1st, who Stevenson is lining up now. My point is, the guys I mentioned, are fighting each other, and Kovalev needs to get in the mix and fight some of those guys too. The Agnews, and Cleverley's aren't going to get you Stevenson if he's looking at fighting Hopkins.

He could fight Chilemba. AFAIK, he doesn't have a fight lined up.

No, Campillo beat Cloud first, before Hopkins. And Kovalev slaughtered Campillo already.

So losing to Cleverly gets you a shot at Stevenson, losing to Campillo gets you a shot at Stevenson, but the guy who beats those two doesn't deserve one?

You're full of ****.

Kovalev fought Agnew because Adonis wanted to fight Fonfara instead of him. They were supposed to fight each other, not Agnew and Fonfara. Stevenson wanted that. Not Kovalev

Kovalev fought Cleverly.... Hopkins told him to. Hopkins could of fought Kovalev but his promoter, Schafer and Showtime rejected it.


What's wrong with you?

Lol why are u guys arguing about the merits of the lhw division. The only division weaker than lhw is probably cruiserweight. Stevenson and Kovalev are both highly overrated but they are the best in the division that's going nowhere imo. Hopkins survives in that division because of how lackluster it is. I mean heavyweight is more exciting.

Fonfara might have went the distance with Stevenson, but let's not act like he didn't take an ass whooping in that fight. He lost, and you campaigning for Kovalev to come in and clean up Stevensons sloppy seconds, when guys like Dawson, and Pasqual are right there. Cloud is a option because he's at least battle tested, beaten good fighters, and was a legitimate belt holder.

I'm campaigning for Kovalev/Stevenson. Stevenson ran from that. Pascal is the best option after that, but Pascal's got other plans it seems.

If you're asking whether I'd rather see Fonfara or two guys who have done nothing but get their asses kicked for 2 years fight Kovalev, I'll take the guy who hasn't gotten his ass kicked for 2 years.

So losing to Cleverly gets you a shot at Stevenson, losing to Campillo gets you a shot at Stevenson, but the guy who beats those two doesn't deserve one?

You're full of ****.

He didn't win it on the cards, so I could care less. Dawson and Pasquale still right there.

OK, I am going to spell this out for you one last time.

DAWSON AND CLOUD ARE BOTH COMING OFF CONSECUTIVE LOSSES. Cloud should have lost to Campillo, lost to Hopkins, and lost to Stevenson. Dawson lost to Ward, and lost to Stevenson. I even said I agree that Fonfara should not be Kovalev's next opponent.

Out of the three you listed, Pascal is the best option.
