it's a 'business'..... so it's a no-brainer for stevenson, it's the fight that makes the most money for him, unless he decides to drop-down to 168 and face ward or froch....
but he probably figures that an 'old' b-hop is an easier fight than those guys.... and he just destroyed the last guy to beat bernard, so his confidence is up...
and as as b-hop, it's a big fight because stevenson in the talk of division - he's a garbage ass fighter.... so he'll be easy to school.... and b-hop's in the business of 'legacy'.... so it's another great trinket....
BHop needs to take this fight and save boxing. Last thing we need is a scumbag like Stevenson as lineal champ.

Bhop will probably have some nice talk before the fight too. I can't wait lol I sent to see Stevenson get embarrassed

Hopkind would school stevenson but the punching power of adonis is something to be feared...........
Would be worth the watch, especially since pascal dropped hopkins twice in the first fight... It can be done
Of course he's licking his chops. Stevenson is a one-handed fighter, a head hunter and a southpaw. Easy work against another canadian draw.

He did his time, that stuff has nothing to do with boxing.
I agree 100%. I much rather have people like Bernard who even tough made mistakes when young, they changed their lives around for the good and are successful than to have a pimp/rapist like stevenson representing the sport and have the kids looking up to him.
Are you aware that Tyson, one of the most famous boxers of all time who is responsible for creating many new boxings fans and inspiring future boxers, is a convicted rapist?
Put some money where your mouth is BIG BOY.
Isn't this what Adonis Stevenson did? Isn't this what we want all of those that have broken the law to do? He turned his life around and is keeping out of trouble. I'd rather have him in the ring fighting and being a productive member of society than be on the streets doing what he did.
Did you see his post fight interview? He mentioned his troubled past and how he's made mistakes without even being asked about it. He seemed genuinely sincere.
You seem to have a double standard.
BTW...Bernard loses this fight by brutal KO. The old man can't keep this guy away for 12 rounds, not a chance. I don't see him taking this fight.

It's easy fight for Bernard. He rarely gets hit and he does best against the big punchers who get discouraged when they can't stop the old man and he starts pounding you with crisp shots.
I rather have hopkins fight stevenson than ward. or Ward to fight stvenson. Either of them would beat the bad out of stevenson.
I don't think its a fight he'll be too keen on, I like Bernard but I think this is a very dangerous fight at this stage and a lot more so than people may want to admit.
Put it this way Stevenson for all his faults ain't no Cloud or Murat.
everything you said is spot on...except B.Hop not being keen on taking this fight....the man LIVES for the opportunity to shutdown the big punchers....thats his calling card...he's crazy in that sense!! :lol1:
I'm not sure if this will work. Since the Murat fight is off, the winner of tonight's Kovalev-White fight becomes the immediate mandatory-taking Murats spot. Wouldn't Bernard have to vacate his title to fight Stevenson instead of his mandatory? Unless the IBF makes an exception and lets him unify first

I hope Stevenson goes another route. I'd rather avoid having to watch B-Hop fight as much as possible. If Adonis fights him, I won't have a choice but to tune in.
