Dude you cannot knock Kovalev, he beat Cleverly, Hopkins and Pascal! Let's be honest here, he is the king of the division not Stevenson. Kovalev won't fight on another nextwork, he wants Stevenson but it has to be on HBO. Don't go saying s*** like Kovalev backed out of a fight with Stevenson, everyone including you knows better.

And this is without eliminating the foreign-based fighters not willing to travel for the maybe $250k that would be available for them as opponents.
Stevenson, after trying to make the Kovalev fight which Team Krusher backed out on, will likely fight Edwin Rodriguez in July/August, have the Fonfara rematch in the Fall, and then fight Jean Pascal/Lucian Bute early next year.
more meaningful than any next three fights for Kovalev, with Stevenson likely making more money for the three as well.

It's hilarious to read the panzee rants of the ******man disciples... but not even remotely as hilarious as that deer-in-the-headlights look on the pimp's face when Krusher Kov drops him like a wet sack of laundry. And it will happen inside 6. And even better, Krusher is getting paid well these days.

When is Stevenson going to fight his mandatories?
The top 3 at WBC : Chilemba, Beterbiev and Alvarez. Will he fight any of those guys this year?
I'm going to say no way.
Kovalev was going to fight his IBF mandatory before the proposed Stevenson fight anyway.
Kovalev was declared Stevenson's mandatory challenger, and until the WBC declares a new mandatory challenger, since Kovalev punked out, Stevenson will fight names ranked in the WBC's top 15.
Chilemba is with Main Events(Duva) and Beterbiev and Alvarez are both in-house fighters with GYM, so those fights won't be happening soon. (He'll probably rematch Andrezj Fonfara, the WBC's actual #2 challenger, though).
Still, none of that changes the reality that Kovalev has locked himself into two **** fights following the mandatory defense, which isn't all that good a fight in its own right.
hope you enjoy those 50:1 fights to close out the year.
