I think because the talk was originally Stevenson-Hopkins before Hopkins got tired of waiting and turned to Kovalev. Kovalev probably expects Hopkins to try and entice Stevenson into a fight now and with Stevenson always out of the office when Kovalev calls and Hopkins viewed as possibly a lower risk higher reward, Kovalev may think that's the route Stevenson will take ;)
I'd love to see the fight but Stevenson already did the disappearing in a cloud of smoke trick so I think it's up to him to chase down Krusher now :)
Well the first time they were supposed to meet. Stevenson bailed and went to showtime didn't he? That's already brings up the network issue. Not to mention I believe Haymon's name was mentioned by kathy duva as partly the reason Stevenson bailed. So this may never come off. If stevenson loses, its back to the pimp business. He and haymon stand more to gain from just grazing on bottom feeders and fringe contenders slowly, coming off a hand injury....
Hopkins just showed that if the best really want the fights they do what needs to be done to get them made ;)Quote:

Because he knows the fight won't be made unless Haymon says so.Quote:

Stevenson has only a few options at LH, and if he ducks and goes to Cruiser or HW without fighting Kovalev, Pascal, Bute, Froch or Ward if they want it, then he is a chump. A massive chump.
Haymon's fighters shouldn't be taken seriously. jmo....
Didnt KOV say that he thinks bhop would beat stevenson....thats a fucking diss right there
This. Kovalev did acknowledge Stevenson by saying that Bhop would beat him and should go beat him. In my opinion, it's Stevensons' turn to chase Kovalev if he wants to. Kovalev already sued him for bailing on the fight. Why would he want to even give Stevenson the chance? From what Duva said, Pascal is a fight they're considering. That would be a good one in Montreal too.Quote:

A combination of his risk averse promoters and even more risk averse Haymon mean he'll probably just milk his belt in front of home crowds for as long as he can. He's got a keep busy fight coming up and then almost certainly he'll fight Pascal next. After that it depends on how Haymon's new broadcasting setup works out. Kovalev is the last guy they want to put him in the ring with.
I'm not sold on Stevenson, he's an incredible athlete with a great punch, but I think he has a lot of flaws in his game and lacks depth.
I see Kovalev giving him a beat down.
I can't really blame Stevenson, or Haymon, for staying away from Kovalev, they want to ride that pony as long as possible.Quote:

It's going to be interesting to see how Haymon keeps Kovalev away from Stevenson with Hopkins gone.
Kovalev seemed resigned to the idea of Stevenson being out of his reach before Hopkins decided to go down in weight. It's getting interesting!
This is a good fight between the 2 best in the division, I hope it comes off you never no
but don't hold your breath, if they did fight for the same promoter, and PPV company
may be.!
