All that means is it's gonna be a disappointing upcoming run for Roach. Cotto losing, Pascal losing, Pac losing. Postol potentially losing if he fights Imam.
Thinking about it, Pascal-Kovalev is not a meaningless fight. If Pascall can make a decent fight out of it, it will be the framework for making Pascall-Stevenson which is probably a bigger fights than Kovalev-Stevenson (for casual fans of course, us hardcore would much rather see the later).
I know some here will disagree with my last post, but Stevenson-Pascall would be huge in QC. It would probably break money record if Pascall does decently (and doesn'T get koed) vs Kovalev. Kovalev ain't a star, just look at the fact that the rematch will once again be held in montreal as proof of it.
I'd rather see Kov fight Yunieski Gonzales. He's there to be hit but he seems tough and powerful. He beat the shit out of Pascal.
