Kovalev vs. Ward...

[ruthless rocco]

The short sightedness of boxing fans will never cease to amaze me.

Kovalev and Stevenson are so great because they haven't fought and destroyed each other yet. Let them fight a few times and look devastating with their wins--let them make you some money and generate some hype with more than just die hard boxing fans before you cash them in for the big money fight against each other.

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.

I loved watching Juanma get destroyed by Salido (TWICE!!!)... and chances are he would have been destroyed by Gamboa in a similar manner but there would have been no rematch because Juanma was supposed to beat Salido. So we got two exciting and unexpected ass whoopings instead of one. How can that be bad??

I too would have picked Gamboa and I too enjoyed the Salido upset victories in Puerto Rico.


However, a Gamboa vs. Lopez showdown would have been something special. Now it means jack shit.
