    Yes or no?

    Kovalev best wins: Hopkins, Pascal, Cleverly

    Stevenson best wins: Dawson, Fonfara, Bellew

    No but it'd be putting Kovalev on a pretty nice run.

    not quite yet for Kovalev if he wins
    needs 3 more big names and he gets it

    merely unifying is not worth HoF.


    People unifiy every year. HoFought to require something unique, a record, a first - explaining why they are famous ....rather than being famous for being in HoF...which is stupid!

    If Kovalev won ( and I suspect he would ) Yes. Whipping a legend in Hopkins, knockout out a top 3 guy who durable in his home town in Pascal, and taking out the #1 rated guy is a very good accomplishment for any champion.

    IMO, Kovalev should be viewed as a pound for pound fighter, and a true fans's type of fighter. Kovalev wants matches vs. the best

    Potentially. That fight could be built into something very big. Would be good to see an undisputed 175 champion.

    No

    Stevenson not a chance in hell. And as long as he continues to hide under Haymon he wont get close

    Kovalev will end up HOF no doubt

    But beating the cowardly Stevenson wont put him there

    In my opinion Kovalev is already on his way, whereas Stevenson had a great 2013 and seems to have gone backwards since.

    War Kovalev

    This is the view I tend to agree with most. Although I understand the opinion that both of them would still have work to do.
