    Looks like some one may get stripped.

    KO/Pascal winner in Adonis WBC mando. Mohammed is KOs IBF mando.

    Adonis has one voluntary defense. KO/Paacal will have to defend IBF in next fight after March showdown.

      He should fight Bute (I thought that was the reason he dropped out of his fight) as a stay busy fight, and then the Kovalev vs Pascal winner next.

        If we're being reasonable about who is available this spring, then Fonfara is probably as good of a choice as he can get.

          How I see 2015 going down is winner of kov-pascal fights Adonis in. The ibf mando will be given step aside money, until fall 2015.

          Surely the ibf will care more about getting a slice of Kov/pascal v Stevenson. Rather than stripping the fighter, money talks in boxing.

              Promotoer Yvon Michel:

              "For April we want the best possible opponent and he will get knocked out. Michel detailed everybody ranked in the WBC and who was acceptable to Showtime for Fridays fight before settling in with Sukhotsky. That list, now one man shorter, might have them returning to the well another time with Andrzej Fonfara who is one of the few to bring Adonis to the scorecards and drop the champion. We will propose Fonfara."

                Seems about right. That's what they tried to do by keeping Fonfara on Showtime.

                Alvarez should be next, but Michel won't match his own guys

                  He should fight Hopkins -- but I don't know if grandpa would go for it.

                    Stevenson will make sure that fight doesn't happen... again

                      Adonis doesn't take risky fights.
                      Hopkins is the "boxing professor"... As hard as we (almost) all like to mock the pimp, he actually IS crafty himself (Manny Steward took good care of him)...

                      But I feel that B-Hop and Haymon aren't in good terms anymore...
