    Would be good fights for sure. I got Kovalev over both (due to better boxing ability and combos) but Pascal -Stevenson's virtually a pick 'em for me.

    Let's see what happens with Bute, but right now I'd probably say Adonis, simply 'cos he's on a roll.

    I didn't include other fighters because they are not current world champs or world titleholders. The point is for all beltholders to fight each other to determine the Undisputed Champion.

    i think one of the best lhw to go up against kovalev is beterbiev...he beat kovalev in the ams, so he knows how to fight the style, and he like kovalev never takes his eyes of the targed, not while punching, not while hitting...

    now here is where stevenson can get the edge on kovalev..beterbieve and stevenson are both from the same camp, GYM...by having beterbieve as a sparing partner would give stevenson some edge on kovalev.

    that said, right now i see it a 60/40 in favor of kovalev over stevenson

    the way i see it, right now in the rankings, stevenson is number one, theres no doubt in my mind.....but in actual fights who do i think is best ...i give a slight edge to kovalev over stevenson...but i think hopkins is a wild card, and should always be considered a wild card...

    so i got

    1 kovalev

    2 stevenson

    and hopkins to me is a wildcard that you can not rate, just because with him anything can happen fight night...very crafty man

    What about Dawson? Any chance of him returning to the top?

    Stevenson look very good against Cloud, it was his fight every minute of every round. Great performance.

    Tony Bellew should not be mentioned up there. He's gonna get knocked spark out by Stevenson.

    Very bad idea to drain himself for the Ward fight. His brain cannot take a punch anymore. His fight against Stevenson didn't help either...

    From now on til January, 2 fights are already scheduled: Stevenson against Bellew and Pascal against Bute. We could consider the tournament already started!
