    With Barrera-Bivol supposedly mandated, who should he fight?

    Ideally Badou Jack, Gvozdyk or Marcus Browne. Beterbiev would be the best fight to be made but it might be too early..

    Won't be Beterbiev yet................won't be Bivol, he has Barrera next...................probably not Gvosdyk, Kovalev would love to fight Adonis Chickenson, that would be possible, but Chickenson has proven he is afraid of Kovalev............

    Didn't Beterbiev just sign with Main Events? Why sign with them unless he wanted a shot at Kovalev? Kov's getting old and that fight won't hold.

    Jack might be a bad matchup for Kovalev.

    Did he sign with TR? I thought TR just won the Koelling purse bid, and right to air that fight.

    I thought I saw something about him signing with Main Events today but now I can't find it. Maybe, I just imagined it, had a brain fart or something. Maybe, I just got him confused with Kovalev. My bad.

    Probably another perfunctory opponent like Joe Smith jr. Browne is ranked high but will not go near Kovalev same with Gvodzyk. Karo Murat is ranked 6 but that's an execution. That Yarde guy is like 5 but that's not happening. Other names in the top 15 I am not familiar with, perhaps they could drag Damien Hooper over for a butt kicking and they already did Caparillo.

    Beterbiev will probably not even fight until next Summer or later at his current pace/career issues.
