Why is this fight not being discussed as a possibility?
This fight would give Bellew a chance to avenge all of his defeats and it would also give Stevenson a chance to become champion of two divisions.
Thoughts? Good fight? Who wins?
I am sorry. I didn't know Stevenson had defeated him before. I don't follow either of them closely. I retract my above statement and leave this subject to those who know these two boxers well.
It was pretty much a one sided beat down.

They aren't even close to the same size. Stevenson fought at 168 a few years ago. Has Bellew ever fought below 200 pounds? If they fight at cruiserweight Stevenson weighs 185 to 190 on fight night. Any more weight than that and he is fat, sluggish and slow with less stamina. Bellew is maybe 215 on fight night in perfect shape. Bellew wins by KO. It's not a fair fight.
not the worst idea. stevensons an old man so bellew has much more of a chance. however theres no doubt who was the better fighter in their prime, im not really buying the whole 'bellew was drained' stuff, stevenson was just a better fighter
I agree Stevenson was the better fighter but i believe now even though Bellew would be the underdog, he'd stand a better chance at Cruiserweight where he seems more comfortable.
Adonis Stevenson refuses to fight top ten guys in his own weight class, yet you expect him to move up 25 pounds to fight one there instead?
Stevenson would probably still see this as another easy fight and Bellew is a much bigger name now. This fight in the UK would be PPV and generate a lot of interest.
