    Bute got this! Roach is a miracle-maker with moving fighters up. He led the charge for Pacquiao against De La Hoya, Cotto against Martinez, and will soon lead the charge for Bute "The Atheist Slayer" against Kovalev!

    WAR BUTE!!!!!!!!!

    :patschFor some reason I've repeatedly been posting that Mohammedi was WBA mandatory:oops: Musta said it about a dozen times in the last week or so.

    I'll go and stand in the corner...

    But yeah. I'd guess Mohammedi might well be next (which I'm assuming was why he was on the card last night).

    Pascal (who has never been stopped)
    Froch would be good

    Any of the Ring or Transnational top ten at 175

    If Stevenson had any courage, with three titles to gain, he'd ask Haymon to make the fight for him

    If that's the case,:-(I feel bad for Mohammedi. The second time he'll be stopped by a Russian.

    Ward or Stevenson pose somewhat of a threat. Ward has some real talent but is so inactive. I see Sergei crushing everybody else.

    Mohammedi won an IBF eliminator against Dudechenko.
    It was on NBC and Mohammedi is a Main Events fighter
    That's why I figure he will be next sometime early in 2015.
    Sukhotsky is ranked #11 by IBF right now

    Beterbiev is a freakin' beast but Kovalev last night showed he is more than a puncher. If Kovalev stood and traded his reign would end but I could see Kovalev winning on points now if he can control the range and pace of the fight.

    Kathy Duva mentioned Jean Pascal as a possible opponent before this fight.

    Who knows the whole story when it comes to all this alphabet belt BS.
    Here's an article from Main Events about Mohammedi winning the eliminator.

    He was KOed by both Dmitry Sukhotsky and Thierry Karl.

    That should be enough for us to predict the outcome of Kovalev-Mohammedi. :yep

    Hopefully he's back in a few months, because idle time is a boxer's undoing. I'm fine with him beating up Pascal or Bute in Canada to hopefully set up a unification bout with Stevenson (provided Stevenson doesn't lose of course).
