As far as being a titlist goes, yes. A couple of years ago, when Canelo knocked him out, I would have said it was unlikely. But it's over now.
The guy is beyond washed up, it would be purely a cash grab. He should do some celebrity boxing or fight another washed up fighter.
McGirt will get him KO'd at cruiser probably. He's taught Kovalev to fight without a RH now, which is insane. Not everybody is Yarde and can be stopped with a jab.
Tervel Pulev the man who lost every round to the Krusher last year, would beat your delusional ass to death.
Sergey already made his debut at Cruiser, and won in dominant fashion. This content is protected By all rights, he should school Billam-Smith, possibly even KO him. I mean, he was rocked to his core by Xhoxhaj and Chamberlain, so it's possible. But the fact that CBS has a pisspoor ring IQ and fights like a maniac may serve him well here. The only way he can beat Kovalev is throwing caution to the wind, back him to the ropes and mauling him, which is what he'll probably try to do. So while winnable, I'm not fond of this fight for Kovalev stylistically.
