    Kovalev-Stevenson
    Pascal-Alvarez would be a heck of a card :think

    Haymon better act quick, Adonis is turning 38 in September and by letting Kovalev fight others they are making him a heavy favorite (if he keeps on winning) thus it's no longer a 50-50 fight and wouldn't generate as much money/interest.

    This fight will generate pick profit as long as most people think it's a genuine 50-50 fight.

    Cant imagine perceptions changing much between now and the Autumn.

    Kovalev will beat Mohammedi, Stevenson will beat Bika.

    And they'll still be considered the 2 main guys in the division

    That's what I mean, this year is the right time to make this fight, not 2016 when perceptions will change if Kovalev keeps on winning against solid 175 guys.

    Plus RocNation already expressed interest in Ward-Kovalev for 2016.

    Yes they can. Apparently.

    "Mohammedi already stepped aside for the IBF title to be contested for on two occasions (Pascal & Hopkins). It remains to be seen whether Mohammedi can be swayed otherwise one more time."

    Purse bid ordered...

    Ward schools Kovalev and makes him quit on his stool No Mas style.

    Good, but has Stevenson given the OK? He'd probably buy out his contract from Haymon.
