    He make millions fighting Bute, then Pascal, then Froch though.

    And when all is said and done he can make a few more million getting knocked out by Kovalev!

    He should wait it out and cash in on his fame a bit. Even if he wins his earning potential against those opponents is more or less maxed out imo.

    What about Darnell Boone who put him on the floor for a count and went the distance :good

    That sounds like a good fight to me :yep

    Kovalev slightly but yeah, the graph is a little too lopsided for how intriguing this match up is. It's probably about 55-45 I think.

    Well they have already fought twice and Boone got TKO´d pretty quickly the second time around.

    Crusher is the better skilled fighter and with a huge advantage due to his amateur career.I see another early ending with Adonis stretched out on the canvas.Kovalev by KO 4.

    I hope Kovalev really hurts Stevenson and then dedicates the win to Stevensons victims. Stevensons fans need a severe beating as well.

    Did Manny Steward 'need a severe beating'? :patsch

    People can turn their lives around you know. Some people seem very sheltered on here

    You make it sound like he did a bit of shop lifting or something, what Stevenson did is the result of being an evil, sick individual, violent, sadistic, pedo *** offenders do not 'turn their lives around' they are mentally hard wired to be that way.

    If most here think it's 55-45 in favor of Kovalev like you, then the graph isn't too lopsided at all.
    That would mean the would all vote Kov.

    I also think Kovalev beats Stevenson, but it's a very dangerous fight for him.

    This is possibly the most compelling fight in boxing right now. If HBO is ready to dish out the right amount of cash, it'll be signed.

    Such a great risky fight for both guys. That one could end with one punch at any given time.

    Definitely. Seems like YEARS since there's been such a compelling match up at the higher weights

    Bellew drew the roadmap on how to beat Stevenson, Bellew just didn't have the athletic talent to get it done whereas others do. Stevenson definitely is not slicker that Kovalev. Sure Stevenson can move out of the way of incoming punches, but when he does make his evasive action it's with large, noticeable movement that often put him out of position to counter his opponent. Kovalev, on the other hand, makes those subtle moves that if you don't know what to look for, you won't notice them and then he can counter from his preferred distance. That's exactly why if I was training Stevenson, I would do everything possible to keep him away from Kovalev. I also anticipate Stevenson's level of "awesomeness" to take a steep dive in his upcoming fights. He has been exposed.
