    I don't think so.

    That's all well and good but if Adonis were to catch him first it wouldn't matter. There is SOME danger to Kovalev in the early going if they ever actually fight.

    Honestly, what throws me off about him isn't even his past as much, it's the way he behaves. I find him totally repulsive.

    Pascal is done he got a gift in his last fight. Stevenson would stop him.

    Pascal certainly didn't "win easily". Did you watch that fight in full? You're the first person I saw to say that.

    Anyway, we'll see if the fight happens.

    Kovalev's chin is fine, and I'm willing to bet its a hell of a lot better than Sukhotsky and Fonfara's

    I would actually rather see Beterbiev get to fight Adonis. Now that's a hard man. I still think he should have taken a fight with Kovalev.

    Completely agreed, can't wait to see him sparked out, but I have to give credit where it's due, the guy can fight

    ...but then we run the risk of Beterbiev losing (you've seen the Page fight, I take it?) and Stevenson getting to add his scalp to his resume and see his hype blow clean through the roof.

    At least with Kovalev we're all but guaranteed the same brutal KO we might get from Beterbiev.


    ...and Kovalev deserves the glory more.

    Kovalev must step up and accept the challenge. Would love to see if is chin could absorb that kind of power. Not so sure. He like to fight light puncher.

    Yes, all true. I just like Beterbiev more than either of them. It's simply my biased wish to see Beterbiev knock either one out cold.

    What exactly does Page fight say about Beterbiev? There was a ridiculous knock down call where Artur instantly stood up and knocked Page out in 2.

    Pascal is a light puncher? White? Sillakh?

    In general though you have a point.

    Campillo, Hopkins, Cleverly, Agnew, Caparello, Mohammedi - all fairly light hitters.
