Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Stevenson Fights Uber Drivers, Guys He Knows He Can Beat

[ray moe]

Please beat Ward, Stevenson-Kovalev would be a modern Hearns- Hagler. For all the hate on here it's worth pointing out that you still watch and comment on everything Stevenson. Kovalev-Stevenson is the most compelling possible fight in boxing.

I'd love that fight.

Kovalev had the chance to fight Stevenson and make a lot of money but him and his team passed on the fight and walked away from the purse bid. Kovalev and Duva were content with the small money HBO was offering back then. I believe it was less than 3 mil to make Kov/Stevenson. Stevenson obviously got a better offer from Showtime that HBO had the chance to match. Why would Kov not accept the purse bid when at the time he had finished his HBO contract. He would have made a lot more money fighting on Showtime

FONFARA FOUGHT 2 BACK TO BACK PUNCERS IN SMITH AND STEVENSON...

THAT'S MORE THAN KOV CAN EVER SAY..ONLY PUNCHER HE EVER FOUGHT WAS WASHED UP 20 PUNCHES PER ROUND PASCAL...

CHILEMBA IS HIS BEST WIN..this is not debatable since the cleverly win

Amen to that.

kovalev won't go near a puncher.

That sounds more right. These translators need translators

Exactly and what sucks is that many things Kovalev days in russian are translated word for word. But you have to translate the meaning, and not just the words because meanings change between different languages.

Amen to that.

kovalev won't go near a puncher.

And who exactly was available and willing in the 175lbs besides Stevenson that Kovalev was supposed to fight at the time.

You people saying kovalev don't wanna fight Stevenson are tripping not only will he not fight kovalev he doesn't take any fights with guys on his level even ward put it out there that stevenson wouldn't fight kovalev and he hates kovalev.. hayman will milk that wbc title and eventually match Marcus brown with stevenson.. all these Stevenson lovers explain to real boxing fans not fan boys or fans or particular fighters why he got the ring magazine title lifted

You're tripping and ignoring the fact that Kovalev's team asked for a purse bid then ran away from it.

Neither would u.
