    Hopkins v Stevenson is a natural unification fight, both want it so it needs to happen. Kovalev will get the winner.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Agreed and a real chance exists for the first undisputed champion in years. I suspect those pesky mandatory fights might get in the way but we shall see.

    Those mandatories can be managed away if you get my drift.

    Sadly they can also be used as a crutch.

    Something to think about: Did you notice Hopkins does not talk about Kovalev and neither does Stevenson. I'm sure they both heard his black man rant after his last fight and he does come across as a guy that might wear a gorilla suit to a hockey game when a black man is on the opposing team.
    Its also pretty clear to me that Hopkins has some race issues as does Adonis. Not sure on Haymon but it would not surprise me if Kovalev gets FROZEN out.

    Race will not get in the way of Hopkins v Kovalev as much as money, TV networks and right promoters

    Id rather see Kovalev.

    Bhop has a long history of taking guys like Stevenson and making them look like dog shit.

    I've heard Kovalev has race issues himself.

    Sure seem like you do as well....after reading that shit you just posted.

    Al Haymon isn't stopping any fights from getting made so you can forget making him the bad guy...he manages Lucas Matheysse and Mayweather..

    I just don't see all these fights Al Haymon is killing...maybe you have some other problem with him.

    Kovalev was Hopkins Manditiory but he skipping it to fight the dreaded Nathan Cleverly..

    Can't blame that shit on B-hop

    Hopkins has been quite vocal about it too.

    Look go fuck yourself you pathetic marble. Kovalev left Kellerman gob smacked with his comments and may or may not be a racist you dumb ass tadpole. I said it wouldn't surprise me if he showed up in a gorilla suit I didn't say he would. And Hopkins comes across as a guy that is not to keen either. I was merely putting across a hypothetical you delirious half wit. Wake up Johnny Appleseed there is no country on earth as hung up on race as yours so its not some giant leap to suggest this whole thing could go there over moral objection.

    From what the medias here in Quebec are telling, Hopkins and Kovalev are likely Stevenson's 2 next fights. Anything can happen on boxingplanet but I am pretty sure that this persistant rumor has a lot of truth to it. Would Stevenson win these two fights, Yvon MIchel would apparently have the potential idea to pit him against Jean Pascal, another of the top boxers in his stable. That could be truly a huge fight here in Montreal and a pretty solid one overall.

    I like it too, and it makes sense.

    If Kovalev beats Pascal, and Stevenson beats Hopkins, a Kovalev-Stevenson showdown would be huge.

    Huh what is this about Kovalev being racist? Doubt a racist would allow himself to be trained by two black dudes and take orders from them...

    I think it comes from Kovalev's comments towards Sillakh. Supposedly, he called black people "sun-burnt people".

    Maybe I am not as pc as I should be and while that comment doesn't sound like the most educated I fail to see where it is racist/hateful...oh well I tend to look towards behavior more than words when evaluating a person.
