Comments Thread For: Duva: I’ll Talk to Someone in Montreal about Kovalev

[Daylyt]

175 is great at the moment. We need Kovalev-Stevenson next year, one way or the other.

yup thats the figth we need now.

but like bhops said, stevenson too scared to fight kovalev.,

Froch moves up to 175, let's Carl vs Sergey I think it would be an interesting fight.

He's only fighting for the big money now, so there's that. I think if he doesn't fight Chavez Jnr. He'll have a farewell fight then retire

Is 175 really that great? I think its good for the short run. The 'big names' are still Hopkins, Kovalev, Stevenson, and Pascal. I can't think of any contenders at 175. You got a handful of names, two handfuls at best.

There's Artur Beterbiev, another former Russian amateur star now based in Montreal. In his last fight he annihilated Tavoris Cloud, knocking him down 4 times in the first 2 rounds. That was only Beterbiev's 6th pro fight.
He has a ready made rivalry with Kovalev from their amateur days. He beat Krusher twice but Kovalev believes he was robbed in their second fight.
Kovalev vs Beterbiev could be a very big fight next year or maybe in 2016.
There must be some good US prospects at 175 too. There always is.

and if ward FINALLY started fighting again and FINALLY moved up we'd have a super stacked and exciting division.

Oh, I though he meant I was repeating something he already posted. My bad.

Stop saying my bad LOL

Carl would not take that fight, pity but last time he was asked about a similar venture at light heavy he quickly dismissed it saying that he is only a small super middle and could even maybe make middle GGG would be good then!

Stevenson-Pascal and Kovalev-Mohammedi in the first half of 2015. Winners in the second half.

Bleh just make Kovalev-Adonis/Pascal now. Mohammedi hasn't done much of importance.

NO need for tune ups my man. Assuming Stevenson wins his fight and has no damage this fight should happen either the off week between the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl or the 1st Sat following the super bowl.

... And you think that those unmerciful Russians made it to North America only in order to slaughter each other? They could have done it back in Moscow...

... They came to you in order to slaughter YOUR fighters, doe...
