    Lol honestly I realize your attempting to be funny but some folks on here would think your being serious. Imagine Jack taking on Bivol instead of Adonis? I’d be forced to request the assassination of him and his management team.

    Someone should tell him it's not 2015 anymore. Maybe, he should call out Kovalev, Bivol, or Gvozdyk.

    Whats wrong with Jack vs Bivol?

    Wasnt Bivol his mandatory before he vacated the WBA paper title?

    And how come Jack isnt fighting for the full title?

    Why isnt anyone fighting for the full title? IBF already has a champ, WBO has Kova vs Shabranskyy.

    I’m not one to dive into the politics surrounding why people drop belts and who has what title etc etc.

    It’s seems as if you’re dead set on dwelling on Jacks side step of Bivol and not looking at the big picture benefits of facing Adonis. If you can’t piece together the reasons I can’t help you there sir.

    Jack vacated the belt for an hypothetical fight against Adonis. He could have face Bivol, but chose the other option. Jack is not willing to face anyone, and he has all the right to do so. It just makes it harder to claim he is thou.

    In the end, boxers, specially at a certain age, would be crazy not to chase the highest paying fights. It just that they loose a little respect from the fans by doing so. But in the end, we are not in the profession of getting in the ring with somebody whose main goal is to give you a good enough concussion so that you don't get back on your feet.

    Beterbiev would knock Stevenson out, that's why Stevenson will refuse to fight him! Stevenson ran from Kovalev, will run from Beterbiev, Kovalev, Bivol, Gvozdyk....................he has been protected for years!

    But this forum has taught me that Canelo Alvarez is a natural Cruiserweight. So, might be biting off too much.

    Ok, you seem like a good enough soul so I’ll be cordial. He did receive this “hypothetical” fight, input hypothetical in quotes because it was in all likelihood a foregone conclusion when factoring in the teams and management involved.

    Jack has been facing a solid list recently and plenty of people claimed he would struggle and lose but he didn’t the mans been good performer. Jack hasn’t disappointed boxing fans but he’s clearly disappointing you lol. There’s nothing to suggest he’s avoiding Bivol because he fears being concussed as a matter of fact he’s facing a man (Adonis) that has explosive power.

    I understand how you and in many ways I sympathize with you but might I suggest being a little less personally vested in your favorite fighter. Bivol has time on his side and no one will run away from him trust me.

    Also I’m a little confused you mentioned a 34 year old Jack be crazy not to face Adonis which includes belts/money/fame yet in the same breath you state he would lose respect from the fans because he’s not facing a guy who’s best win is Broadhurst?

    (Ok some time for a bit of fun sarcasm)

    You are right Jack isn’t in the business of getting in the ring with someone who can provide him this glorious concussion that’s why he went after Adonis.

    Anything else you’d like to discuss grasshopper (I said that in my sensei voice)

    Jack's sole purpose was to move up and fight Stevenson. Bivol has around 10 fights. Jack has my ok not to fight him based on resume. I see Bivol's resume and I don't even see how he got or even deserved a title shot. Jack's resume can't be questioned. Go ahead if you want, but Jack wants the pay day.
