Retiring would not be a bad idea. He was what he as for a time. We knew he was good, but the next all time great was a big stretch. I think at this point and age he may not be able to handle Stevenson either, and Stevenson is a little bit more of a hype/fluff job than Kovalev was.
People wanted that fighter with the right "profile" to be built up to beat Andre Ward. It was a doomed effort from the jump.
What we saw in Ward was an ALL TIME GREAT FIGHTER... Not a great champion in his era, BUT AN ALL TIME GREAT FIGHTER AND CHAMPION!
Kov should just retire, or fight Stevenson for a whole lot of money, get bombed out and then retire.
