    Is it too much of a risk or is Duva willing to put these two nutters in together? Maybe they are waiting for BB to get some mainstream attention first and capitalise fully on what is a very risky fight for the Krusher? How many fights are we away if this ever happens? 2 or 3 more for bb, market himself a bit more, then if Kov gets past Stevenson we may see this early 2016? Would love to get your thoughts on this matter. Have a great Easter, all of you.

    Happy Easter to you too man

    Yeah they need to hype it first, its one of the biggest fights in the sport, its got all us boxing fans wetting ourselves in excitement, lets build it for the casuals too, two monster juggernauts on a collision course

    2016 sounds good to me

    Get the feeling Kovalev wont be told to do anything, though he'll proabably get all the vital concessions against a guy like AB such as a huge ring

    Right now, Kov doesn't even acknowledge his existence until Artur fights a game contender.
    That's not protecting. Artur brings nothing to the table, yet...

    He's a future Kovalev victim, and I also think Kovalev will beat him. No, Kovalev has had a tough run of opponents. No way he ducks anyone.

    Duva won't hold Kovalev back from anything, she's not afraid of him taking a loss, she's trying to land big fights for him.




    They were when Beterbiev beat them, Campillo is still at #9 Ring and ranked above Beterbiev in the TRB at #8.

    Campillo had a good bounce-back win against Williams Jr. who was ranked #10 Ring at one point.

    Rankings don't mean a thing.
    Artur was 33/1 on to beat Campillo for a reason.

    If Williams Jr. got exposed by Campillo at this stage of his career, he's not going to be top 20 in the near future.

    Cloud, another protected guy who got exposed badly the few times he's stepped up.
    He's not in my top ten LHW's

    Is he in yours?

    Clev is headed back down to LHW and he's higher than Campillo also.

    Beterbiev knocks out TWO former world champions in 8 fights and people do not believe he is for real?

    I think he's for real.

    As of right now, he brings nothing to the table.
    Cloud was always over-hyped and Campillo hasn't been relevant since 2011

    Let him fight a Chilemba/Fonfara/Clev/Pascal before the main course.

    How about Kathy Duva vs Anna Reva?

    Everybody was kung-fu fighting
    Those cats were fat as Solis
