Comments Thread For: Duva: Barrera is One of Several Options For Kovalev's Return

[Nomadic]

Sounds good. Winner gets winner of Joshua-Ward!

Ward just got to LHW, no need to test the waters at HW just yet. Make that test a career finale.

Kovalev's next opponents should be refs, judges, and Bob Arum.

Joshua ends his career and life in less than 2

I'd pull for Barrera, who seems to be a likable guy with an entertaining style, but I think the Kovalev matchup may be wrong for him unless Kovalev is mentally wrecked (which is a possibility). Ward won the 2nd fight by applying mental and physical pressure on a fighter who got frustrated, fatigued, beaten and ultimately wilted. Ward essentially ground him into submission that second fight. Barrera seems to be a power boxer. With Kovalev's jab and power, he might be able to dictate the pace in his favor. I'd definitely enjoy watching it regardless!

Who knows where this division is going.
Ward holds all the answers

Translation: super promoter Kathy Duva won't risk the chance Kovalev, her meal-ticket and one single semi-draw, takes another L and gets wrecked by Sully B.
