Hot take: Stevenson would have stopped Beterbiev.

The Stevenson of 2014 would beat the Beterbiev of 2019. But the Stevenson of 2018 would lose. Stevenson was already past his prime at that point.

I truly believe Adonis Stevenson would have brutally stopped Beterbiev. A come-forward fighter with leaky defense is tailor made for a hard-hitting counter-puncher like Stevenson. Beterbiev would walk into left hands all night, going down at least once, until the ref mercifully stops it. Do you really though?

She will say anything but that’s why she’s not around anymore thank god. Lol jk. Where has she gone ? Has anyone seen Kathy Duva lately ? Back to obscurity where she belongs.

Superman would have gotten hurt.

Triangle theories don't work. And what are we basing this solid chin on? Him getting put on his butt by light hitting Jeff Page & Callum Johnson? My memory fails me but I am sure some other journeyman had him down also or certainly shook him up also. Styles make fights. I don't see adonis beating beterbiev. Just because he had issues in those fights that you mentioned doesn't mean he is going to have issues with adonis. Like I've said, he is not some come forward fighter. He has a better boxing IQ than people give him credit for. Yes, he has a solid chin and he is just a tough dude physically. He has been dropped, yes, but he was never out on his feet and showed great recovery.

Beterbiev beat Gvozdyk, a guy who is not a big puncher that put adonis in coma. Beterbiev with that power and solid chin would have done worse, unimaginable things to adonis. Beterbiev is not just a come forward guy. He is a smart boxer who imposes his will on his opponents. Triangle theories don't work. And what are we basing this solid chin on?

Beterbiev had all kinds of problems vs Alexander Johnson (a southpaw journeyman who took it on short notice) and was getting hit a ton. Just throwing that out there.

Maybe have beaten Kov tbh. And you're right about Beterbeiv vs Stevenson. Stevenson left hand was Hearns-like.

Correct Kovalev ducked like no tomorrow, adonis was the kin

i remember kathy duva saying the fluctuation of the russian currency was why she couldnt do the purse bid. She will say anything but that’s why she’s not around anymore thank god. Lol jk. Where has she gone ? Has anyone seen Kathy Duva lately ?

That is possible. Stevenson had a deadly straight left. But Beterbiev has faced big punchers already and took their power and knocked every fuking one of them out. He could do the same for Stevenson who was KOed a few times by guys who didn't punch nearly as hard or as often as Beterbiev. i'll pick the guy with 100% KO wins and zero losses. Very possible. Stevenson could punch and we've seen Beterbiev get dropped.

Hopkins avoided adonis, he chose to pursue the safer champions/title opportunities. Same thing with ward, stayed with hbo. Kovalev ducked the purse bid, whoever does that, ducked the fight. Adonis fought several ranked contenders. There is no debate

I agree, adonis was ducked for most of his career. His style was a nightmare he ducked everyone. he fought no one. his popularity and level of competition fell dramatically after signing with haymon. his end only came because arum forced a purse bid and had a fighter who was willing to go on pbc since pbc fighters dont travel. the super fight he had was against badaou jack who had only one fight at 175 and lost to browne and pascal after the fight

Nonsense. Very, very untrue and nobody has done it yet. Absolute sense, the reason nobody has is because he’s a fast light heavy and doesn’t take too many chances! A fighter with a good read on his rhythm will catch on and catch him stepping in when he unloaded that same combination pattern! Watch when it happens and I’ll be the one to tell you so!

been there done that. kathy played herself. never seen a promoter talk so much smack to turn down 2 purse bids lol. Purse bids = Irrelevant to a fighter/promoter when big money TV deals are on the line. Whether it was truly a duck or not, Stevenson signed a ccontract with SHO knowing full well that Kovalev had a fight scheduled already and that he would not be able to fight him if he was with HBO. That has killed all but a few fights in history, unfortunately. He who signed first is the only one eligible to be considered the ducker. End of discussion.

:spankme: You can look up the dates friend Lying about it would get me nowhere been there done that. kathy played herself. never seen a promoter talk so much smack to turn down 2 purse bids lol.

sorry but no, i cant see him stopping the Beef. Besides which he was way past his prime when he stopped Chad. Better chance when he was prime but that wasnt much chance either. Sorry Adonis fans if there are any. more likely the reverse. Prime Beef puts Stevenson on the floor. Mind you Kov would have krushed them all.

Bivol is very predictable and can be timed, Joe Smith Jr is very slow and timed him eventually and almost got him outta there if it wasn’t for the bell that saved Bivol! Beterbiev will make it his type of fight down the stretch and put Bivol in that dark place he’s never been before! Nonsense. Very, very untrue and nobody has done it yet.

thats cute and all but i distinctly remember kathy duva, kovalevs promoter, saying the fluctuation of the russian currency was the reason they could not take part of a purse bid after they asked to be a mandatory for the title. :spankme: You can look up the dates friend Lying about it would get me nowhere
