If Braehmer beats Maccarinelli, which I think he will, Kovalev should fight him. It would answer some questions about Kovalev's chin, and is a good opponent to put on his resume, which some people have said is not the best. Though, to be fair, LHW isn't exactly brimming with talent other than Kovalev, Stevenson, and Hopkins.
Another good opponent would be Pascal. Not only would beating him give a showdown with Stevenson even more hype, but we would see how Kovalev deals with an unorthodox, athletic boxer.
