Adonis Stevenson moving down to 168?

If he can make the weight, why not. Some of the guys at 175 are huge.

I didn't get the impression that Stevenson said anything about moving down to SMW at all. It just sounded like DeGale wants big fights against big names & mentioned Stevenson as a possibility, IF he was willing to move down to SMW.

Would really make things interesting in that Division if he does but his Power at 168 would be SCARY

DeGale needs to move up, he looked terrible in his last weigh in Stevenson I understand is a Showtime fighter and Ward/Kovalev are HBO so maybe he sees it as pointless to wait for them because of all the BS that would need to happen to make that fight. But the next best fight to make at those weights after Ward vs Kovalev is the winner defending their Ring/WBA/WBO/IBF titles against Stevenson and try to get his WBC title, although that's proven to be difficult due to mandos ruining possible unifications

I like James DeGale. He matured a lot in and out of the ring after the George Groves fight.

If Stevenson can make 168 healthily (which I seriously doubt) he will take Groves and Jack OUT. Brutal stoppage. Degale is probably smart enough to survive to round 12 but he'd lose too. Stevenson gets a lot of bad press, some of it is deserved but it was Kovs team that turned down the only fight that matters, apart from that, he has done everything asked of him and largely made it look easy. He is a genuine one punch KO artist and he is physically very strong. If he can make 168 and still keep his strength and core muscles the way they are at 175, these guys at super middle are done for.

Can't imagine it being a good decision being that he's been at LHW for over 3 years now. Take note from Dawson.

would be a good fight sugar Kaine. Both Bombers. I think Smith has a good chance against hopkins.

not a good move, plus he could fight winner of Kovalev-Ward, Loser of Kovalev -Ward, and Beterbiev and make good money at 175.

I think at Stevensons age going down in weight won't work out well.We're the same age and I know you only get bigger.

What's he going to do chop off a leg?

would be a wierd decision seeing that him against the winner of ward/kov is a huge fight.

Adonis is a strong athletic and powerful light heavyweight and he seems very comfortable at that weight. When Chad Dawson went down in weight he was weak, gaunt and drained and ineffective. It doesn't make sense that Adonis would go that route.

Surprised to hear that, I thought Degale moving up would be more likely as he looked gaunt in his recent fights at 168. Stevenson is a big LHW now, that would be a stupid decision.

I will wait to hear it from Stevenson..i know he just moved to 175 when he ko'd Dawson

I watched him training, he seems a dedicated guy. He may or may not be afraid of Ward, Kovalev, etc, but he takes boxing seriously as business.

If he can make weight easily. He would be the best fighter in the division even at his extended age.

James DeGale vs Adonis Stevenson is a good 50/50 and so is DeGale/Golovkin

Yikes, I can't imagine him having an easy time with that. He's not exactly carrying a lot of bloat and, as you said, he's no spring chicken. I wonder what prompted this but I doubt it happens.
