    Different divisions (light heavyweight and cruiserweight).

    Adonis "The Ducker" Stevenson is WBC light heavyweight champion.

        But after his experience with Kovalev, will Campillo want to fight Beterbiev?

        If not, maybe Beterbiev could fight Cedric Agnew, Beibut Shumenov, Tommy Karpency or Cornelius White.
        If he fought Agnew, Campillo, or White, and knocked them out faster than Kovalev, that would give him a case as one of the hardest punchers in the division.

          Oh, sorry I mixed thing up. Yes, LHW of course. I understand it then. But IMO it's nothing to do with Stevenson didn't fight Kovalev, if Beterbiev will be his mandatory he has to fight him anyway, but as Hougigo said they have the same promoter so yeah most likely they will push the guy to the other beltholder since there will be just two beltholders from November in LHW and possibly just one from May-June.

            All those guys get steamrolled. Waste of time really.

            Of those names only Shumenov interests me because he's never been stopped but he will never take that fight.

            I'd like to see Beterbiev v Rodriguez or Chilemba, neither will happen either.
