    How about froch or hopkins?! WHAT YOU THINK QUEBEC?!

    I almost barfed from how uncomfortable the silence in the crowd was.

    Both fights are good but yeah, it was awkward. There's only one fight everybody wants to see at the moment.

    I get what he was doing, dude wants $$$. But unfortunately unless Carl fights him in North America, that fight isnt doing a damn thing on ppv (i dont even know NA helps it sell better to be honest haha) and Hopkins vs Stevenson is demanded by literally no one....Plus with Nard on Showtime, it will never happen. I REALLY want that kovalev fight to happen.

    Quebec is waiting for the Bute/Pascal fight. Anything else is secondary at the moment.

    A non-scientific survey made by a local sport chanel put Froch and Hopkins as boxers the fans wanted to Stevenson fight against. Right after seeing Kovalev, they have probably changed their mind. Kovalev-Stevenson makes total sense in fan perspective.

    Instead of Froch, Stevenson shoulda called out Andre Ward. But Andre Ward will stay hidden at 168 and call out Chavez Jr Hahahahaha.

    Don't blame him for wanting a money fight, he's 36.

    Plus, would you want to get in the ring with Kovalev? He seems to enjoy hurting people.

    Stevenson did call out Ward, but Ward ran away and hid.................This time Stevenson called out Froch or Hopkins, he wants no part of Kovalev. Hopkins said he would never fight Kovalev of Stevenson. Kovalev was Hopkins' mandatory, yet Hopkins refused to fight him.............

    Plus Kovalev has already killed someone in the ring, considering his last few fights he doesn't seem to be too perturbed by this. A worry for who ever faces him.

    to be hionest i think the silence in the crowd was because he was speaking english...i hate to say it but quebec is prejudice...if your not white, muslim, and you speak something other than french, you are just not as good as the rest of them...

    its sad but its true...and language has been one of the top issues for years.....and now they want to make a new law banning all religious symbols and clothing...just because they dont like muslims...

    if you dont believe me check out on youtube...quebec language wars

    here is one example

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYJLQ2DjEQM

    this lady is bitching because ppl are talking english beside her...and she just gets more irritated when they respond in english to her...

    and this...even the city workers refuse to help or service you when you dont speak english

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Megq8d08QG4

    and this one here really speaks for itself...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCK04SzPvUs


    you really dont know much about this issue unless you live in quebec or have visited and been personally affected by it...

    I didn't hear much noise when Kovalev said he wanted Stevenson. A real non vocal crowd that night.
