    well he pretty much wrote Stevenson off the moment he said that the man he had just dominated would beat Stevenson for the WBC title, in a way he publicly shrugged Adonis off as of no importance

    He called him a piece of shit on live TV... hopefully we can get the unification fight soon.

    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....
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Hopkins just showed that if the best really want the fights they do what needs to be done to get them made

    Stevenson will probably avoid this fight, Kovalev would beat the shit out of him.

    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.

    Kovalev has a tendency to get square on and could end up on the end of a Stevenson left but he'd be the overwhelming favourite to beat him. 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.
    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!

    may be.!
