Comments Thread For: Callum Smith is Open To Moving Up To Fight Sergey Kovalev

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Actually, he said no one knows "what" he is. I don't know "what" he means by that? Obvious he doesn't want Usyk, nor Joshua. He didn't sign with PBC, so I don't know why he's calling for Breazeale or Ortiz? Whyte seems to be talking for the sake of talking! Lennox Lewis and Razor Ruddock need to have a sit down with the lad...ASAP!

He wants the AJ fight 100%, he was just given a derisory offer. From what I understand the offer he received for an AJ rematch was less than he received for Chisora II. I don’t like Whyte whatsoever and believe he ducked fights with Pulev and Ortiz but he isn’t ducking a Joshua rematch.

They are signed with different promoters/platforms...

Yes I know and now will they both be thrown to the wolves.

Cmon, 175 guys are far too strong.

Vultures circling around Kovalev’s old ass.

Wait, now he's old?

I like the fight- don't get the hate. Lots of fights at 175 Beterbiev, Gvozdyk, Kov, Bivol, Alvarez, Browne, Joe smith, and you got Callum and Gilberto moving up. Whats not to like?

I have no doubt it was a low-ball offer, but I can't believe it was "less" than the Chisora fight. That being said, Hearn never denied that is was less, so I have my su****ions! What I don't understand is why he wouldn't want Usyk or Michael Hunter in his own backyard? If he wants a PBC guy, his target should be Joe Joyce! Breazeale is not coming to the UK unless the price is very high!

Well, he’s the same age as me - and I know how old I feel now compared to when I was 27!

What I’m getting at is other than Ward, you didn’t have all these dudes looking to step to Kovalev when he was knocking the crap out of everyone. Then he looks a bit vulnerable and all of a sudden everyone wants to fight him.

You should of said that (in bold) instead of old cuz that makes sense.

And if you eat right & stay working out 35 doesn't feel old at all.

I’ve heard from a friend of mine who has it on good authority that it was lower than what he received for Chisora. Obviously without me confirming my source that doesn’t prove anything, but I 100% believe what he has told me is true.

I think he’ll end up fighting Povetkin. Matchroom have options on his next fight and I completely agree on Brezeale he’s gonna demand a high price to put his WBC mandatory position on the line.

This is EXACTLY the same as what happened to GGG! Disgrace! Punks! Makes me respect Ward more he took Kovalev on when he was undefeated and young! Kovalev is 35 and lost 3 times now people want that smoke SMH!

So what is he going to do after this fight? Stay or Leave?
