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.
I can't really blame Stevenson, or Haymon, for staying away from Kovalev, they want to ride that pony as long as possible.
Stevenson's days are numbered, if he doesn't want to be branded chicken hearted, he has to face Kovalev. I remember Stevenson saying he wanted to fight anybody except Kovalev.
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!
