Adonis Stevenson vs. Sergey Kovalev

[TAZ-G]

Thank you for making the votes public, now I can see who are the same race biased ****s I happen to come across in every poll

Not me I'm not biased Kovalev wins by Ko/TKO.

Adonis Stevenson really is a piece of ****, hopefully Beterbiev can capture his slippery ass and teach him a lesson.

Kovalev is blatantly ducking Stevenson!

It only take 1 clean left, One

[The Hammer]

Can it happen?

This is the fight I've most wanted to see for several years now.

I think while Adonis Stevenson is unlikely to fight Kovalev, he's more likely to do so than Andre Ward.

Adonis Stevenson has been stripped of his Ring belt for ducking the top light heavyweights.

I know that's the HBO narrative, but upon further scrutiny, the premise doesn't hold up.

Stevenson just fought Fonfara last year, who is the highest rated light heavyweight contender by several highly respected independent sources.

Just this year, Stevenson was mandated to unify with the other champion in the division and Stevenson agreed to do so. The other champion backed out and refused to face Stevenson. So it was actually the other top light heavyweight that ducked Stevenson.

Another top contender, Jean Pascal, was offered the opportunity to become Stevenson's mandatory, but declined the offer.

Who is Stevenson ducking?

That's not the first time he blew off Pascal. And funniest part is, this time his excuse is he wants Kovalev instead, yet he's unwilling to fight him on HBO, who's got him under contract. It's always something with Stevenson, always a hitch unless you're a no hoper

And remember dude, Fonfara wasn't Ring top 5 at the time

He ducked Hopkins, Pascal and Kovalev in 2014.

Fonfara wasn't Ring top 5 when Stevenson fought him.

Their is blame to go around on both sides ; sometimes neither side wants the fight at that particular time from a business point of view or personal reasons (pride , ego , fear ect) . One thing I do know Stevenson does not fear Kovalev and vice-versa.

The common thread is Stevenson. Kovalev, Pascal, Hopkins have no issues making fights with one another, but throw Stevenson in and somehow the fights don't get made. Meanwhile look at his pathetic ratings and attendance. Quebec fans know what's up. FFS used up Pascal and shot Bute are bigger local draws, and they don't bring any belts.

I understand, he's old and vulnerable, and only started making good money a few years back, so he'll milk it as long as he can. But then no complaints if he's stripped or not taken too serious.

[HeroBando]

Because they've all ducked him. Thanks for proving my point.

Right, that's their rep. Hopkins, Pascal, Kovalev all famous ducks. Only Superduck takes on all comers
