If Kovalev is such a bad @$$, why not try the Cruiserweight division?

Go to Germany and fight Marco Huck, or go to the and fight Tony Bellew. Bring HBO along, hoping that they open up their pockets for the fights, add it to the local money being put together, and he could come close to 2 million dollars.

doubt that he gets anywhere near that number staying at 175 (especially without the Stevenson fight, due to hasty contract efforts).

Huck has signed with PBC and plans to fight in the US. After the way he squashed Cleverly there would be little interest in a Bellew fight for Kovalev.

OP is upset that Kovalev is going to finish what Boone started.

Because Boone has had such an illustrious career right? lol Your a Clippers fan, so I suppose you think the wannabe Lakers can take out Houstan too... haha

Why would he do that? The division gets no coverage. It's a big man division with flyweight coverage.

Uhh you'd have to be a complete ****** to think otherwise. Clippers will easily dispatch them in game 6.

[In Motion]

Nah, I'd rather have Kova'rrated stick around and get his ass beat by Stevenson and then eventually get dispatched by Ward when he moves up.

[Scipio2009]

Ridiculous. Hucks opponents make peanuts, and Hbo is not paying a fat license fee for an early afternoon fight at cruiser lol

He's not getting $2m to fight Mohammedi, or Chilemba/whatever other soft touches he has access to, either. Rather than being a body coming to fight Huck, Kovalev would come in while being somewhat of a name; his pay is likely to increase accordingly.

[Mr.Fantastic]

The guys huge, he sandbags his way to LHW, he knows hes not going to get the Stevenson fight, and hes beaten everyone but stevenson. So why not move on up?

Reminds me of Andre Ward and the imaginary cleaning of the division by his fans.

[Foreign Soil]

Kovalev and GGG have a certain kind of fan so shook. Embarrassing. Who's alts are these?

Lol it's a 25 pound jump bro! Andre Ward cleaned out his division three yrs ago and is still shook about moving up a measly 7 pounds.

[lefthook2daliva]

Well...there's that.
