Don't think too many do, but there's always a couple who just don't want him to be. I really hope he's actually next for either B-Hop or Cleverly (like rumored, but with Cleverly it's always just rumors ending up fighting a pushover).
there's no way Clev's team will let him fight Kovalev :yep B-hop actually has a better chance to win, because he's a defensive mastermind, as long as he can avoid getting hit, particularly in the first half of the fight
Kovalev is a legit-proven LHW, no doubt! I'd like to see him against Stevenson or Pascal for some excitment ! He can also grab that WBA belt from Shumenov. I don't think Cleverly will fight him.
