Comments Thread For: Chilemba Passes on Beterbiev, Stays on Stevenson Path

[Hougigo]

Been calling on this to happen for a while.
No secret Duva wants the WBC shot but won't put Kovalev to it unless she gets her way in everything. It'll fall on Barrera and she'll let him run with it

i was just thinking imagine if this were ggg people would be calling him the most avoided fighter in history lol

Difference is GGG was chasing down Martinez and Martinez kept fighting less worthy opponents, he got this ducked label thanks to guys like Martinez and Sturm not giving him his shot.

Fonfara! Make It Happen! He is ratings about the same as Chilemba on the IBF Rankings

So Artur Beterbiev passed on Kovalev and not this guy is passing on Beterbiev...so everyone is just passing on everyone at 175?? so i guess we will be stuck with Kovalev fighting Pascal 4 more times while Stevenson fights his grandfather and Beterbiev fights the 15th contender...sad Hopkins tried to start a movement and it just fell off

if hopkins wanted a movement he wouldnt have skated out the stevenson fight over to hbo and make pointless excuses about al trying to make his belt vacant..i looked into those excuses..they were crap he offered stevenson way less money than stevenson deserved...he tried to play a lineal champ and all haymon..tired of him getting credit he does not deserve..i love hopkins but he weaseled out of that fight

Agreed

with 9 fights its safe to say ggg's ppl wouldnt have him fight kovalev...he's had 33 and he hasnt even fought a pascal type yet

but u're wrong anywyas..kovalev/beterbiev is not a mandatory fight right now..he just got an offer..the fight will be a mandatory in less than a year im sure thats why beterviev said we can wait..and bc he just had a ramadan..

Sound like Pascal going to turndown this fight too, Yvon Michel, Beterbiev’s promoter (who also promotes Jean Pascal btw), said in a french interview that they expect Sullivan Barrera to agree when his turn comes.
