Comments Thread For: Michel: Artur Beterbiev Would Fight Kovalev Now

Slow ure roll michael. Before your boy gets his untested ass koed by the Russian.

Beterbiev beat Kovalev at the amateurs...

Had Krusher fought Stevenson last night he would have lost.

Ridiculously generic username, claiming hypothetical wins in actual matchups favourite boxer ducked...yeah, you're definitely a Mayweather cultist - reading through your previous posts will only validate my assumption.

And Stevenson's resume amounts to a broken Chad Dawson and Fonfara...that's it. That isn't some loaded resume that far surpasses anything anyone else has in the division, and Stevenson's credibility and claim to being number one took a massive hit when he ducked Kovalev.

I'd like to see Beterbiev in a few more fights first. But it would be a fun fight for sure..i'd like to see it. Probably more so than Stevenson Vs Kovalev...Stevenson and his team are going down the Andre Ward route of making himself irrelevant.

Exactly! Peado-rapist Stevenson ducked his way out of the opportunity to be called the best and when the Hopkins/Kovalev matchup was made, the winner was determined to be the best in the division and that is Kovalev. The Peado-rapist decided to take a back seat and that is where he sits.

No doubt he would, but he should take a few more first, not only to gain a little more experience but to build the fight.

This. We haven't seen nearly enough of Beterbiev yet. 2015 should be about getting him in there with contenders, leave the title aspirations for 2016-2017. Line up Savigne/Vlasov/Skoglund/Chilemba/Krasniqi and get him more experience. As of right now, Kovalev is too high on the LHW totem pole for Beterbiev to get a shot at him.

Why would they need to. Stevenson is the man to beat. No one at light heavy has the resume he has.

This media marketing blitz needs to stop. Had Krusher fought Stevenson last night he would have lost. The guy has no chin whatsoever, he has had the luxury of fighting soft hands thus far.

Put him in with those top ten that can ****, if he can hang with the big dogs than we will talk. So far beating lethargic old men doesn't do much. Especially considering there are fighters at his weight that beat much better versions of him already.

What fantasy land do you live in? Kovalev has tried to fight Stevenson for well over a year now, and Stevenson has avoided fighting Kovalev to the point of looking foolish. Stevenson will continue avoid Kovalev as he knows Kovalev would give him the beating of a lifetime.

When Sparring with Beterbiev, Jean Pascal said he had the most powerfull punches he faced Just like Stevenson (yes they already fought in Amateur Pascal won) But after facing Could he have shown more power than Stevenson.

Beterbiev would beat Kovalev. And it's the only one who's could. Yvon Michelle have more faith in Beterbiev than Stevenson. I'm lucky to have Beterbiev here in my hometown.

This feels like a fight that should wait. Destroying Cloud the way Beterbiev did was impressive for his 6th fight, but it's still a far ways away from the top of the division.

I don't give a crap about that fight right now because I know GYM is trying to push it so Stevenson doesn't have to fight Kovalev. He tried the same thing with Pascal when Pascal was trying to talk up his mando shot and he instantly switched topics away from Stevenson

[daggum]

cloud was coming off 3 losses and probably making about 10k. you think he came to win? lol. beterbiev might be a top fighter but not yet.
