Fall of 2015 could we have Beterbiev vs Kovalev?

Provided Kovalev can defend and keep his titles, is there any chance we can see these two slug it out?

I see crazy potential in Artur and I believe he will be much much scarier than Kovalev, probably stopping him inside 10.

Your thoughts please.

its intriguing, both are monster puncher, but i'll stick to kovalev who taught boxing 101 to bhop

Maybe, but I think they'd want the champ over Bieber....but GYM wouldn't allow Stevenson to do that evidently. Doesn't even want Pascal to fight him

[puga]

He's fast as hell for a lhw and with good crisp powerful combos but he needs more experience imo...he could be a case of a david lemieux we dont know since cloud couldnt stay there long enough to give us much info....he's a beast so far for sure

Yep as above he's definitely making the right sort of noise like his other countryman Umar Salamov also an up and coming powerhouse

Lol... no worries about him being a Lemieux. He's fought better fighters than Lemieux in the amateurs for years.

Why is there always a comparison? Kovalev was just another Pavlik, now Beterbiev is another Lemieux. Anyway, Artur is the biggest threat to Kovalev now. I believe he's the best fighter in Montreal as is.

Is it true that beterbiev has 2 wins over kovalev in the amateurs? But yeah would be a sick fight. Beterbiev looks to be another menacing puncher with amateur pedigree and boxing skills to boot.

[BattleAxePurist]

Kovalev is more technical better overall boxer with range crisper puncher.

What Beterbiev has on his side is his brute strength but he does load up on shots and hasn't been pushed at any point in his pro career he needs some fringe type fights first.

Kovalev lost in the Russian national amateur championships to Beterbiev, I don't know if there was also another time.

Too green!

Beterbiev should get at least 10 wins under his belt before even thinking about stepping in the ring with Kovalev.


The guy's never been past 4 rounds, lol.
