Who Is Boxing Has The Hardest Time Landing Legit Fights?

Probably Kovalev because his options are so limited.

Rigo already got his big fight and his big payday. He will not match that again for the rest of his career.

GGG is just in a weak division but he's getting fights against top contenders and is fighting the #3 guy next.

I expect Thurman to land a big fight in his next one. There are just too many options in that stable for him not to.

I'll go with Kovalev. Rigo has had 2 legit fights in Donaire and Agbeko. Thurman I feel will get some legit fights in the near future. Same thing goes with GGG, and you could certainly argue that his upcoming fight with Geale is legit.

As for Kovalev, no legit fighter wants any part of him.

wow i said legit a lot.

yea...im kinda leaning towards Kovalev as well...dude is in a real tough spot

Rigo hands down- his promoter wont even give him fights

GGG- flat foot turned down Ward

Kovalev-had a chance to fight Hopkins and from what i understand doesn't have a contract with HBO(correct me if im wrong)

Thurman- can fight at 147 or 154 since he dropped from 154 to 147 so he also has options

Rigo cant get fights at all. He got punished for exposing Donaire. Plus his promoter don't want to promote him at all, at least the rest get fight albeit not top fights but fights atleast

Golovkin has had it harder than any of the others. He's been begging for years. Rigo has had it mostly good before now, and Thurman and Kovalev are just starting to get avoided.

I think kovalev because he is completely faultless (you can't say he's boring can't make an argument for him avoiding ANYBODY etc) yet he is only getting **** fights though he is clearly the most dangerous man in the division. rigo got donaire GGG is moving in the right direction kovalev seems somewhat stuck and is still waiting on his big payday

No he didn't. Stephen Espinoza said that Showtime weren't interested in Kovalev. Then we got Hopkins against Murat and Shumenov. Obviously much bigger fights.
