Comments Thread For: Stevenson To Kovalev: Fight Me and You Won't Be Broke!

[torosboxing75]

I don't even know who's at fault anymore. Just make the damn fight already! I think boxing fans suffer more then fans of other sports.

Another article that is flat out wrong because Main Events never asked for a purse bid. Are these guys professionals??

[HeroBando]

They both fought bums ....they are both full of shhhit

But Kovalev also fought Pascal and Hopkins. Stevenson had an inside track on these 2, but they don't qualify as bums so no fight

[HeroBando]

So it's ok for ward to go up but ***** ass 3G can't go up
...hypocrisy...wars will beat both ...kovelev was rocked by the Canadian fraud ...so who cares neither have touched the ground ...it's boxing anyone can get rocked

Who says he can't go up? He would if worthwhile, see his offer to fight A side Froch in the UK. But right now he's got great options and work to do in his division, unlike Ward who has no excuse for not pursuing that Kovalev fight asap

Since super duck ended up with haymon what has he done ?? Nothing!!!

Kovalev will KO his azzzz by 6

[Mr.Fantastic]

I swear, this dude makes me sick...whatever needs to be done to get these two in the ring, I wish it gets done so Krusher can ice this chump of a champ!!...Ward vs Krusher is a fight between REAL men...GGG and Adonis are little boys protected by careful management...P4P 1 and 2 on the fraud list!!

So you're saying Hopkins is a fraud also because he didn't move up before he unified? That's what GGG is trying to do.

Bingo^

It seems people are still holding a grudge for that one time Kovalev said something "Racist" in their eyes... when in fact it's a common slang in his country. He's not ****ing racist, his damn trainer is black FFS.

Perhaps they don't like the idea of a powerful WHITE russian monster who's thoroughly cleaning out his division. Gotcha! Before you know it, if Kovalev beats Ward they're all gonna hate Kovalev even more

"He's not racist , his trainer is black"
Lmao !!! That might be worst than Paula Deen saying she's not racist because she has a black friend . Let me guess , u must be of European origin to have the gall to ask people of color to sweep the comments and antics of this racist scum under the rug . Forget and forgive right ? Let's not forget that Mayweather , early in his career , made strong comments about being pro-black , and today he's still the most hated by those of European decent . I have to wonder how you'd feel if Ward posted a meme on his IG account of Kovalev as an uncivilized caveman crawling on all 4's eating his own sh.t for breakfast . Then talk to me about forget and forgive !

They ASKED for the purse bid from the WBC and were no longer under contract to HBO. And if the bolded is truly their stance it makes perfect sense that they will never get a big fight again. Gotta remember Hopkins was Kovlevs first million dollar; I suspect he will never have one again at this rate

exactly at the time the purse bid was scheduled there was no deal with hbo. stevenson is not just blowing smoke when he says the only reason they asked for a purse bid was to get more leverage in hbo negotiations. Hate stevenson or not hes right

Some people apparently think that asking for your fighter to made mandatory for a world title is the same as asking for a purse bid. Or at least, that's what they pretend to think.

And this applies to some boxing journalists, as well as ill-informed fans, apparently.

It was Gym/Haymon who requested a purse bid, not Duva.

It was going to purse bid regardless because neither promoter could negotiate and agree to terms so gym/haymon asked for expedited bid to have it set for fall if both parties beat they upcoming opposition

Kovalev beats Stevenson without a doubt. It will look like Kovalev vs. Pascal.
Stevensons prime is over though. It would have been much more competitive if they would have fought 2-3 years ago.
