Adonis has to beat a few more big names in order for him to elevate Hopkins to top ten p4p all time if he were to lose to dude.
Now if Hopkins beat Stevenson after Stevenson defeated/KO....Kovalev and Ward, for example, than yeah that prolly puts him closer to top 10 p4p maybe (10-20 range)
I'm not one of those dudes that think Stevenson is ducking Kovalev since I don't know what type of bread was thrown around for that potential fight. Both dudes are exciting with lots of momentum and the live gate would be huge so I expected both to prolly get in the 1.5 to 2.5 mil range. I mean Berto got around $800,000 for the Hernandez fight. HBO wants the fight, but it doesn't seem like they tried their hardest to make it happen. Besides the fight has only been talked about for the last 6 months. This ain't Gamboa/JuanMa where that shyt was simmering for over a year and it seemed like a potential collision course.
I don't really care for a Stevenson/Hopkins fight, but I'll watch and there's been plenty of worst fights made (Winky/Hopkins) so
For now Kovalev should go after Ward and the winner of that fight, gets the winner of Stevenson/Hopkins.
