      Seriously,this is like the second time that you suggest that he moves up. It's not happening. He still has 3 huge fights waiting at light heavy,and if he can beat Artur,Stevenson,and ward,he'd be the undisputed light heavyweight champion of the world,and he'd have a hell of a claim for the #2 p4p spot in the world. Cruiserweight offers him nothing at this point.

        I actually added that part with you in mind. Simply because I knew you would read to much into it and then respond, simply because you are still overplaying the race card. At this point you have played them so much that you have done wore the spots off of them race cards.

          Boxing fans kinda suck lets be real. Some % of boxing fans call everybody except "their guy" a hype job. Who cares. And Sergey isn't getting much credit for beating the **** outta the French version of Shaft or whoever that poor bastard was last night anyway so its not like he's losing much if he fights a guy with 9 fights or a Bulgarian garbage man next does it?

          It's a losing situation for both fighters at the moment. I think Duva is just trying to make Haymon look bad. If Haymon doesn't allow it, they will call one of his fighters a duck. If Haymon allows it, his fighter could very well lose.
          I don't see how this is a lose lose situation at all. Kov gets Beterbiev early rather than later. He likely saves a title cuz if this happens in a year because Beterbiev is the mandatory I think its very likely we got a repeat of the Stevenson purse bid situation & Kov just Bowe's a title cuz his team has made it known they aren't fighting off of HBO & Haymon is willing to pay guys more.

          I definitely agree Duva is trying to make Haymon look bad. Haymon is deep inside Duva' brain at this point. BUT that doesn't change the fact that this is a huge opportunity & would give Haymon/GYM all the 175lb titles & making for a huge unification fight with Stevenson on PBC or PPV or w/e at some point. And there are far more dangerous things to lose here than a fight for Beterbiev & GYM. Losing this opportunity could be the only chance they have at making this fight with all the drama between the parties involved.

          I hope Haymon and Yvon don't accept the fight. I don't think they will, like I said I'm pretty sure they are building up Beterbiev to be the Kovalev conqueror but they need a little more seasoning.
          The guy hits like a fictional being. Kov is hittable. I thought Pascal was doing some nice work on him at times. Beterbiev isn't becoming Pernell Whitaker in 12-18 months. He's gonna win that fight cuz he can ****ing hit not cuz of seasoning. It won't hurt, but its not THAT much of a game changer.

              With Ward being discussed as an opponent it would be beyond ****** to move up. Also if there is 1% chance to make the Stevenson fight or Beterbiev fight right now I think it'd be silly to move up. When HBO gets tired of paying him $750k to beat up guys with no chance & the Beterbiev/Ward/Stevenson fights have happened or there is no chance they happen then its time to think about moving up.

                I doubt they have any real intention of fighting Beterbiev

                  Lmao , I'm Sure . I was actually giving your predictable azz a chance to save face and say you was talking about Kov's racist azz this time around thats why I framed my question that way .u know , at least allow u the opportunity to APPEAR neutral. I did however suspect the "super douche" was a baited hook as it was a bit over compensatory for u , as u tend to defend those who like to smear him instead of engaging in it yourself . Unless I just haven't read enough of your post to see it .

                    I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Beterbiev has displayed zero versatility or defense so far, because he hasn't needed it. He's sure as hell not as good at either as Kovalev.

                      I think this whole pressure to put Beterbiev in the ring with Kovalev or Stevenson is way, way premature. Both guys would kick his ass.
