Where would you rank Stevenson P4P if he beats Kovalev? I think he would deserve a place. Maybe 10h place. We had Broner in the list (Ring Magazine) by fighting bums, so maybe Stevenson could take a spot there. What do you think?
he arguably should be already, considering he was the consensus fighter of the year.
he was not consensus fighter of the year, Floyd Mayweather won BWAA + ESPN fighter of the year so I don't know where you're getting that.
Having said that, if he wins against Kovalev or if Kovalev wins against him for that matter which I think is more likely, than the winner of that match in my mind is right up there at the top behind only May, Ward, Bradley, Wlad, and Rigo. Winner takes the #6 spot.
If he does my list would look like
1. Floyd
2. Andre
3. Rigo
4. Bradley
5. Klitchko
6. Stevenson
7. Sergio
8. Danny Garcia
9. Manny
10. JMM
*6,7&8 interchangeable
Honorable mentions: Mikey Garcia, Gennady Golovkin, Erislandy Lara
