    He probably gives both a fight but at his best I feel he is a level below them.

    I'd like to see either I think he deserves a crack.

      I definitely think he deserves a shot at either one of them. He looked very impressive against Smith (not sure if that's saying much) but he seems to be in the zone right now.

        He'd be a good bounce-back opponent for Kovalev. Stevenson I feel needs to face someone more dangerous than that at this point. He's feasted on B-level contenders for long enough

          I agree regarding Kov. I think Stevenson needs t fight Ward next but will likely fight Alvarez. Anyone else at LHW and I will not watch.

            I think he is at his best right now and won't get much or any better. He has enough pro and amateur experience to be at his best. I think he loses to both of them by KO. They are much better and more accurate punchers than Smith and much better all around fighters than Smith. If Smith can drop Barrera hard with his weaker hand then Kovalev and Stevenson will knock him out. They are both much faster with there punches than Barrera.

              I think both kovalev and stevenson would stop Barrera. He's quite easy to hit and they both ****.

                I think he get beats by both. As for being ready for Kovalev or Stevenson? Well since he already fought Ward he might as well fight either of them.

                    Ready he is not.. He should fight more on the same level & gain experience.. Guys like Gvozdyk, Beterbiev are all at the same level he fought last.. He loses by KO if he goes against Kovalev/Stevenson now..
