He has good hand speed and is a good boxer. He is solid all around. His accuracy is laser point. He would slaughter Hopkins. But he wont get the chance to because Hopkins knows this. Hopkins will not fight Kovalev. I guarantee you that.
Pascal would be a good opponent who could give Kovalev some rounds. I'm not sure who else could, though. Let's face it, LHW isn't exactly filled to the brim with talent.
It is rumored that everyone is ducking GGG, thats bull****. Lara just called him out. and he turned it down. The same way Hopkins turned down Kovalev before the Cleverly fight. The man people are ducking is Kovalev.
Let's get the facts straight: Adonis never had any interest in fighting Kovalev. He was scared sh*tless when Max mentioned Kovalev's name. Trying to say he wants to go to vacation, Froch, blah blah blah. Adonis is a *****. I gave him the benefit the doubt because of his style and activity, but this is unacceptable. It's a disgrace to boxing and an insult to TRUE boxing fans. TRUE boxing fans care about fights getting made. FAKE boxing fans like so many on this thread make excuses for why a fighter is ducking another fighter. F*ck off!
Lara is all talk. He knows what he has to do to get a fight with GGG. Lara isn't leaving Showtime. He isn't moving to 160lbs and force a mandatory title fight or try for a unification. Lara is fighting Ishe Smith.:rofl Adonis Stevenson will be doing the same bull**** that guys like Lara, Quillin and Hopkins have been doing since the HBO/GBP split. ALL TALK.
I know I am. Thats bull****. When Stevenson does finally have to fight Sergey, Sergey will kill him quickly. Then he will chase Hopkins into retirement. That is exactly how it'll unfold.
