Curtis Stevens? Who? Gimme a break

Is that the guy who was a bit short for his weight class, used to fight a lot on Broadway Boxing as a hot prospect but never really went anywhere after getting stopped in a fight ?QUOTE]Yeah that's what they said about Stevenson after he was stopped by Darnell Boone. Guess what happened to Stevenson? He torched a guy who was supposedly not on his level. Anything can happen in Boxing.

Ok but that doesn't make it a suitable fight for GGG, Stevenson lost to Brinkley and since has been nowhere until he beats Roman who is a journeyman.....of course he is calling out someone of note he is desperate.

Props to Stevens if he manages to talk his way into a fight.
He'll get the payday he wants

[JoeKidd]

At least it would be short and exciting.

But that was at 168. All of Stevens' losses have been at super middleweight.

At 160 Golovkin would be fighting a guy who has moved down from higher weight classes instead of fighting 154 pounders who have moved up.

He has no credentials as a world title challenger at any weight class, none at all.

Who would you have him fight then, Sergio Mora?

Geale/Quillin/Sturm/Murray don't appear like they are going to happen next.

Like i've said before i dont care who he faces, but i'd rather it be Stevens over mora cuz his style is horrible to watch. I'm fine with it. Its just odd how stevens became this legend overnight

He's only had 3 fights at MW. People are so focused on last night but look at his fight just 3 months ago against Findley

But unlike Mora, Stevens has a nonzero chance of winning the fight. Of course, he'll probably make GGG look like gold, unlike Mora. TBH, I was pretty entertained by Mora's last couple of outings, either is fine with me unless someone better steps up

I would rather see how Golovkin fares with different styles over seeing another quick knockout. Curtis has a punchers' chance, so his chance is nonzero in that sense, but still pretty close to zero. Mora is a mover like Martinez and has a sturdy chin. He has no puncher's chance, but I think a Mora fight will answer a lot more questions than a Stevens fight.

Plus Mora has a recent win over a guy who was recently a top 10 guys and should have a win over a guy who ring has at #10. (EDIT: Actually, they just removed Vera and added Rubio)

If GGG's next fight is against someone that has world title challenger credentials then no one will complain. But the whole problem is that he can't find anyone like that.

That's all I'm saying. Those are the only guys calling GGG out and at least Stevens brings excitement.

If he takes this fight for exposure and to stay busy I understand should be fun while it lasts.
