I recently did a post on Adonis Stevenson for my blog.
And basically, I'm just wondering what you guys think of him? I don't see many threads or posts about him, so what do you think?
The IBF told Emanuel Steward that the Froch/Bute winner has nine months to fight Stevenson, so with Froch being the winner, we COULD see Froch/Stevenson later on in the year.
What do you think of that fight? And has Adonis Stevenson got the potential to become a World Champion?
I think he has got the potential to become a World Champion, and I would favour Froch to beat Stevenson, but Stevenson would have a punchers chance, regardless of how great Froch's chin is.
Also, Dan Rafael Tweeted that Stevenson could fight Edwin Rodriguez on the Pascal/Cloud under-card, what do you think of that fight IF it happens?
Let me know your thoughts. Cheers.
i rate him
i rate him quite highly and think he will give froch a great fight, i like his punch variety and attitude inside the ring but being a bit of a d*ck outside of it is relevant with the way popularity plays a big part in promotional marketability, he is sort of like tim bradley in that respect, i was surprised that top rank signed tim bradley as he wasn't that popular despite arum trying to sell his family man image and i think adonis is in a similar position along with the high risk low reward that comes with him, other wise is a good solid all round fighter with potential to cause froch problems with his workrate though froch would more than likely stop him after a decent fight:boxing:
He is a bit wreckless for my liking. I would like to see him against a fighter like Magee to see exactly where he is at & if he pulled through that which I would have doubts about I'd like to see him fight Bute, that to me would make more sense than to fight Froch.
I really don't think he would do well against Froch at all. In fact I think Froch would take him out early doors.
Fair enough. But with his power, he has a chance to beat anyone. If someone like Steward trains him and says he can beat Bute or Froch, then he must have some skill. I'm not saying I think he can beat Bute or Froch BTW.
