    You know what I mean... fight the same guys and beat them in better fashion to build the hype.

    If Kovalev would be able to handle Fonfara (which I think The Prince gives him fits), Sukhotsky (easy work), Bika (Why bother??), Karpency (easy work).

    If he was to polish them off :hey in easy fashion maybe the hype would be bigger. Other than that 175 has slowed down since 2013.

    He's already done the once, only beforehand and not after.

    **** no, who wants to see that ****, I want to see big fights. Stevenson should be on the horizon, I'm not interested in excuses.

    I want to feel the hype though. There is no interest outside of Hardcore boxing fanatics to see this fight happen.

    Even the Canelo/Cotto hype is half dead because neither will fight Golovkin. I give GGG fans **** but I do want to see a hype fight. 175 IS ON LIFE SUPPORT!!!1

    LMFAO! What "chase" all he has to do is let the fight go to a purse bid.

    Haymon would win and Kovalev can't fight on PBC OR SHOWTIME. HBO and SHOWTIME will have to work it out.

    Haymon did an excellent job making it look like Kovalev and Duva ducked.

    Stevenson will have no choice but to fight Kovalev soon, he isn't getting any younger and there aren't exactly many other big paydays headed his way.

    Then Kat needs to make a ridiculous offer, and Kovalev gets paid.
