If you put Stevenson against Kovalev in April and Kovalev destroys Stevenson(or vice versa) what happens next? Who do they fight? How do they make themselves and their network any money?
You have to plan the career and groom the big fights with purpose.
I hear you, but this way of thinking absolutely ruined a Gamboa vs. Juanma super fight a few years ago.
When its time, its time.
