    Kovalev is WBO LHW champion, and Yarde is #1 ranked challenger.

    Who you got if the fight gets made?

    I'd pick Kovalev to end Yarde's hype train with little or no problems.

    Different clas, Kov wins with his eyes shut, does he even know who Yarde is?

    Kovalev by murder. Yarde has done nothing to suggest that he deserves to share a ring with Kovalev.

    Depends on Kova's camp. If he doesn't drink and eat desserts and gets his weight loss done correctly (like he did against Alvarez 2) Yarde is in big trouble.

    Yarde isn't even domestic level.

    Yarde would end up like Adonis if he meets Kovalev anytime soon.

    Kov wins, however he wants tbh. If Sjekloca can tee off on Yarde while he's pathetically attempting to shoulder roll on the ropes, imagine what Kov is going to do.

    Yarde is the worst overrated fighter ever lived. Typically for the UK domestic level fighters getting their resumes boosted and then get badly beaten by the top opposition.

    Bang on , he at least needs to prove he’s European level first. We’ve seen how some of Eddie’s were calling out world champions and then couldn’t go past European.

    Yarde doesn't have the stones to step into the ring with Kov and Warren definintely doesn't have the stones to make it.

    The squirming and twisting by Team Yarde to avoid this fight will no doubt be hilarious! Is it possible to vacate a mandatory status?:tiburon:
    I'd be willing to donate to a crowd fund towards Kovalev's purse....

    This yarde guy seems to know what he is doing. Waiting around . I don't know who would win when they face in the ring (if they do) but I would not count yarde out him and his team seem to know how to build him up and protect him til he is ready
