What would happen if Gvozdyk KO's Adonis and becomes p4p #3? That would be 3 Ukraine fighters taking the top 3 p4p spots all at one time. Would Lomachenko's Dad be the best trainer ever since he had to train him at some point? Would the boxing world itself implode?
... Adonis' straight left still is a dangerous weapon though -- just look at Jack's game plan for the first half of the fight and how scared he was... :)
BTW this just in...
Was watching this behind the scenes thing with Usyk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8rfQBgkBWI
He mentions how he got hit in the 4th and thought to himself "I can take it, but better not to let that happen again..."
Then he goes on to say that Gvozdyk in sparring hit him harder.
So it's true, Gvozdyk does hit with very mean intentions indeed.
I think there is a very good possibility of that happening.
But I'll still lean towards Gvozdyk getting the KO.

... you mean like Adonis may KO him?... :)

NSB will say all the American athletes are playing basketball and grid iron!
On a serious note, if Usyk and Loma have legit P4P skill sets and are proven beyond doubt fighters, Gvozdyk even if he defeats Stevenson just doesn't have the all around skill.
Gvozdyk in my opinion is a KO waiting to happen, but he is a smooth operator with great power, but not P4P material any time soon or at all.

You seem to have already decided if he KOs Steveson he jumps to number 3 pfp. I doubt many would place him so high for that. I have never seen Stevenson on anybody's top 10 best pfp list. He rarely fights and when he does it's usually against weak opposition. He looked very beatable in his draw with Jack and I think he is 41 years old.
... Adonis really is old (he showed that in his last fight)... but Adonis is the last fully "Kronk Gym product"... Steward's legacy is intact!... :)
Also I very much like good boxers getting their due. Loma and Usyk are good fighters and would not have been blown out by greats of the past. That's what separates them...unlike the Wilder's/Joshua's/Golkvin's of boxing. Those guys are good fighters today, but have little chance of being successful against greats of their division in the pastGGG is a bad ass middleweight in any era and no past great middleweight would be a a sure thing to beat him in his prime in my opinion. I think he will be considered one of those great middleweights himself after he retires.

I already think Loma's dad is the best trainer alive, but I don't see how Gvodzyk koing Stevenson would make him top 3 when nobody is ranking Stevenson right now.
With that being said, nothing wrong with a new school coming in. That's great for boxing. I hope Americans are taking notes, because the Lomachenko school of boxing is the best one at the moment and they can't afford to ignore it. I even saw the big Charlo starting to incorporate the side step as part of his arsenal. Maybe they'll have to start learning Ukrainian folk dance if they want to keep up :lol1:

I’m not sure about all three top 3 p4p but this place would go nuts I’m sure and the hate would intensify. Loma is getting less and less regarded by the day the more and more he proves haters wrong I’m sure Usyk will start to be terrible too soon and once Gvozdyk is more known he too could be hated by certain fans.
