    The is the 2nd time Max has asked Adonis about Kovalev and
    in as many times, the "champ" has eluded that topic by mentioning
    other fighters that the "fans" want instead. Well Adonis, I hate to
    **** in your cherrios bowl, but there's only 1 fight FANS want to see
    at 175 and it's against Krusher kovalev.

    I'm disappointed in his response.

    In the Cloud fight, he said Kovalev need to fight some champions first. Now he's saying the fans want Froch & Hopkins.

    He's clearly ducking the fight the entire boxing world wants to see.

    not really..

    he's looking for a money fight, and said if the money's right, he'll fight Kovalev.

    luckily Bhop is on Showtime and Froch is probably looking at a groves rematch..

    That was very strange. He really seemed scared of just the idea of fighting Kovalev... but then again I don't blame him, Kovalev is on a whole different level.

    I think it's more of a money thing. And of course he sees Kovalev as a threat to getting that money fight. You can't blame him. He fights for a living and has done enough to deserve a good money fight. I only start calking fighters duckers when they've made good money and continue not taking risks.

    Do not forget that the career of an athelete, specially a boxer can go down the toilet really quick, you are crazy if you don't make some good money beforr it's over.

    Oh and, you are all acting like Hopkins is some bum.

    "Kovalev is a good fighter, but the fans want me to fight Froch and Hopkins, right Quebec city?"

    He seemed to be using the money as an excuse. He genuinely seemed like he didn't want any piece of Kovalev.

    Sometime a man likes to do what a man likes to do. Kovalev ain't going nowhere. Let that **** marinate. They both can get rid of all the bull**** and meet at the end of the **** pile. Max sounded like a little instigating *****, trying to dictate who the man fights. He ain't gonna throw two and cover up, yet he screaming louder than a ho in church.

    They always say "If the money's right" when they don't want the fight.

    with showtime and hbo competing with each other, they should not brodcast stevenson fights unless his next fight is against kovalev.

    Regardless if he showed fear he would fight him, he believes in his own ability, you can fear someone but still fight them sometimes they dont have a choice
