Stevenson, Berto, and Wilder - all have had pitiful title reigns over multiple years which mostly consisted of fighting tomato cans in their hometowns for big $. All 3 seem able to avoid risky fights and top ten. What do all 3 have in common - Haymon! See a pattern hr..if not ur just plain in denial.

um he actually wasnt with gbp..he elected to go back to golden boy instead of haymon after his contract with haymon ran out...but yea i'll give u that one so yea that's 2...u see bhop didnt get any after he lost??..2 dates..that's it wow....vargas is now getting dates but wasnt...
hmm let me think were there any others? na i dont think so
look canelo is ahuge investment..but they are killing him his brand continues to not grow even after beating PR rival miguel cotto..
and his rep is dying on hbo amongst the hardcore fans...he fought them all on showtime tho didnt he!
goldent boy going back to hbo has done nothing for boxing fans but provide amir khan ko'd again jokesComment

Did you happen to think Kovalev is actually interested in fighting the best and not just about the money? Stevenson is only about money, he will not take on a challenge but some fighters do care about making a legacy that is not about just cash. I respect that way more than someone who just wants to cash outThe only reason Kovalev fought Pascal and Hopkins was because both those fighters took the lions share of the purses and Duva made KOvalev settle for peanuts. Stevenson was in line to fight them but both Hopkins and Pascal wanted too much money. Kovalev fought Ward because he was coming up and wait and again, took less money. Main Events is pretty much getting Kovalev peanuts to fight, Kovalev pretty much said he was looking to buy a house after the Hopkins fight but couldn't afford it because he took home a lil over 100 grand for that fight. If Duva had her best interest in KOvalev, she would have allowed him to fight Stevenson off HBO where they were going to make more money than the 3 mil HBO was offering for the fight.Comment
