    I don't think its a fight he'll be too keen on, I like Bernard but I think this is a very dangerous fight at this stage and a lot more so than people may want to admit.

    Put it this way Stevenson for all his faults ain't no Cloud or Murat.

      I'm not sure if this will work. Since the Murat fight is off, the winner of tonight's Kovalev-White fight becomes the immediate mandatory-taking Mu**** spot. Wouldn't Bernard have to vacate his title to fight Stevenson instead of his mandatory? Unless the IBF makes an exception and lets him unify first

        everything you said is spot on...except B.Hop not being keen on taking this fight....the man LIVES for the opportunity to shutdown the big punchers....thats his calling card...he's crazy in that sense!!

          Hopkins is certainly looking for this fight.

          An easy fight against an average fighter to win a title.

            It's easy fight for Bernard. He rarely gets hit and he does best against the big punchers who get discouraged when they can't stop the old man and he starts pounding you with crisp shots.

            I rather have hopkins fight stevenson than ward. or Ward to fight stvenson. Either of them would beat the bad out of stevenson.

                Isn't this what Adonis Stevenson did? Isn't this what we want all of those that have broken the law to do? He turned his life around and is keeping out of trouble. I'd rather have him in the ring fighting and being a productive member of society than be on the streets doing what he did.

                Did you see his post fight interview? He mentioned his troubled past and how he's made mistakes without even being asked about it. He seemed genuinely sincere.

                You seem to have a double standard.

                BTW...Bernard loses this fight by brutal KO. The old man can't keep this guy away for 12 rounds, not a chance. I don't see him taking this fight.

                      Of course he's licking his chops. Stevenson is a one-handed fighter, a head hunter and a southpaw. Easy work against another canadian draw.

                      He did his time, that stuff has nothing to do with boxing.

                      Are you aware that Tyson, one of the most famous boxers of all time who is responsible for creating many new boxings fans and inspiring future boxers, is a convicted rapist?
