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!

This is a good fight between the 2 best in the division, I hope it comes off you never no
but don't hold your breath, if they did fight for the same promoter, and PPV company
may be.!
