Lets see if Haymon steps in and fhucks this one up too!

[twosweethooks]

how can you mention ward with a strait face when youre boy ggg is avoiding him with all they got ?

Hmmmmmmm Ward said NO doe

[twosweethooks]

After a long layoff. Come on man, you didn't expect him to come back after that long break and take on elite champs. As far as Floyd-Berto, I'll believe it when Floyd announces it himself.

Jr needs easy fight doe

[IMDAZED]

Doubt it happens and it shouldn't. Right now, Kovalev would batter him.

[kiaba360]

all right.

Now let's make Golovkin vs. Khytrov early next year.

Khytrov is nowhere near ready, 10 fights and his best win is Melendez. At least Beterbiev has a faded Cloud and Campillo on his record.

Promoter Yvon Michel of GYM has informed BoxingScene.com that light heavyweight contender Artur Beterbiev (9-0, 9KOs) is ready and willing to face WBO/WBA/IBF light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev (28-0-1, 25KOs) on November 28th.

On Saturday night, Kovalev's promoter Kathy Duva of Main Events informed BoxingScene that her fighter will return on the previously mentioned November date in Moscow, Russia.

This is a peach of a fight if it gets made. To all those who say Beterbiev isn't ready I disagree - he is built from Lomachenko material - comes into pros on a roll - doesn't need to pad his record. Someone is getting knocked out and it might even be Kovalev. This fight whets the appetite even more than GGG-lemieux.

as much as i would love this fight, it doesn't make sense right now for anyone involved

what makes sense is Beterviev build up at PBC, then Haymon cashing in in Stevenson, then massive Beterbiev vs Kovalev

right now it is like Spence vs Floyd: the balance of risk and reward is tremendously off

it's okay to let fights "marinate" (jaja) just a bit; this one is nowhere near ready.

That said, why the **** is there no pressure for Stevenson to face Beterbeast? They could make the fight tomorrow.

Unlike Ward! Who has Ward ducked at 168? If you talking about fighting Kovalev, Ward just had a two year lay off. He would be a fool to jump weight and jump into ring with Kovalev. The nerve of some people.

Chicken doe

[Fetta]

I dont mind this fight at all but it is to soon. This could be a monster event down the road and after a few good wins by Beterbiev.

Imagine Ward/Beterbiev/Kov/Fonfora/Stevenson/Braehmer if he ever steps up/Gonzales had good showing and maybe Pascal in like 2 years.

Do you not follow the sport? Both are signed with GYM and Yvon Michel made it very clear, BEFORE Haymon was even in the picture, that these two fighters would never meet in the ring as long as they were both promoted by him.

The only way I could see that changing would be if Beterbiev did beat Kovalev and then becomes mandatory to Stevenson's WBC title.
