I'll give my left nut if stevenson fights Alvarez. Dude is 40 years old and has been fighting bums the last few years. Even Jack fight, which was good, was a low risk fight for stevenson. At worst, he'd lose a decision. Jack is not a dangerous puncher who was at 168 most of his career.
For the IBF, but I haven't heard of similar rules for the WBC. Either way, Stevenson will be in tough vs. Jack, Alvarez, or Gvozdyk. He won't remain the lineal champ for much longer if he has to face those guys in succession.
Out of those 3 names an Alvarez unification fight in Montreal would make him the most money.
That's where I would look next if I was him.
jack was ranked #8 when stevenson fought him. now he is ranked #4 BECAUSE he got a draw with stevenson. you are trying to spin getting a draw against the 8th ranked fighter into a positive thing? the wbc rankings are laughable. they ranked ocampo #1 at 147. who the hell is he? of course bums like karpency and williams are going to be highly ranked.
This is false, I just verified with TBRB that Badou Jack was as high as #3. in April 2018 ( a month before facing Adonis ). Regardless of the numbers, judging a elite two weight champion by a ranking is a very casual thing to do - I forgive you.
why do you think he has been reigning so long...he hasnt fought anyone good. you turn a negative into a positive lol. you should be a political consultant or something
I already explained to you that Adonis resume since becoming lineal champion is superior to all the current LHW champions ; please go back and read the previous pages. Have a great day.

Because Adonis is the LINEAL and longest reigning champion @ LHW ; the biggest draw in Canada -- you know Eleiders adopted country.
Whos this scrub Eleider Alvarez anyways?! Where was he in 2013 when Adonis beat THE MAN? ; Adonis has been ruling the division -- all these clowns holding titles like : Alvarez, Beterbiev and Bivol need to thank Andre Ward for dropping belts so they can make something out themselves ; 'Superman' is the only self-made man in this class, REAL TALK them is da facts, I know it hurt.

Chickenson looked like hot dog sh-t against Badou Jack. why should Alvarez even entertain that coward after being ducked for 5 years?
Adonis has Badou Jack problems. tell him to clear that up first.

Stevenson has a mandatory due vs. Gvozdyk.
This. Not even sure why this is even a topic. I doubt Stevenson is going to beat him and if he does he'll probably lose to Jack in a rematch.
His stamina is poor but can't help it I guess. Dude 40 already probably don't have anything left in the tank
To add context to the numbers: Adonis Stevenson just fought Badou Jack current #2. at LHW after testing Adonis ; this is a man that arguably should of been lineal-unified @ 168 when he faced the #1. Supermiddleweight at the time ( James Degale ) and after that went up to LHW and won a title ( WBA ) off of another champion Nathan Cleverly. FACTS.

Eleider dont want none of 'Superman' Adonis Stevenson, I think Alvarez would rematch Jean Pascal before he steps up to the LINEAL TRUE LHW CHAMPION.
These haters denied Adonis his due respect, now I think its clear after Kovalev got spanked ( AGAIN ) that the 175 class always belonged to Stevenson.
Team 'Superman' got the last laugh, we owned them.

Adonis has Badou Jack problems. tell him to clear that up first.
Chickenson ducked this man for 5 years. why should Alvarez even entertain this clown?
Adonis has big problems to clear up with Badou Jack first. he looked like washed up dog sh-t in that fight.
Alvarez should focus on the Bivol showdown. a bigger and better opponent.
he hasn't fought a top 5 fighter in 5 years. he just had a draw with a guy who had one fight at 175 and was ranked #8 and you spin that into a positive? good trolling

In the past five years Adonis 'Superman' Stevenson fought a prime : former WBC cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew, former WBC middleweight champion Sakio Bika, top ten LHW Tommy Karpency ; another top ten Thomas Williams Jr., and again Andrzej Fonfara who was as high as the #2. LHW in the world in 2016! Stevenson managed somehow to hold on to his world title despite the odds ;
And as impressive as that run was, Adonis being the true lineal champion went for it again by defending his LHW crown FOR THE NINTH TIME against the former WBC Supermiddle-Weight champion Badou Jack ; who ALSO became the WBA 'Regular' Champion at 175! BUT WAIT!!! the man is not done yet?! Is Adonis taking on the must avoided 175 pounder -- the man that the new WBO champion Eleider Alvarez ducked?! the 'Nail' Oleksandr Gvozdyk?! YES ITS TRUE.
How can anyone deny Adonis any respect is beyond my comprehension. You may have success fooling the casuals around here but some of us know the truth about this mans credentials and how 'Superman' Stevenson has been underappreciated, underrated and avoided.
he hasn't fought a top 5 fighter in 5 years. he just had a draw with a guy who had one fight at 175 and was ranked #8 and you spin that into a positive? good trolling. he managed to hold onto his title cause he didn't fight anyone. what odds lol
he proved he was always the best by sitting on the sidelines without fighting a soul for 5 years while the best fought each other and eventually lost? really strange way of looking at sports. only in boxing does it work this way. you can't not play and win the super bowl but in boxing if you have crazy fans anything is possible.
we owned them....tribalism.

i dont know if anyone has noticed but stevenson is not a draw like he used to be. his attendance and ratings have diminished over time. the jack fight had 4000 people only.
Eleider dont want none of 'Superman' Adonis Stevenson, I think Alvarez would rematch Jean Pascal before he steps up to the LINEAL TRUE LHW CHAMPION.
