      Stevens isn't going to last though. I'd prefer to watch Mora take GGG 8 or 9 rounds than see Stevens last 1 or 2.

        Really? You wanted GGG to fight Stevenson 2 weeks ago?

        Now he's a credible opponent because he knocked a taxi driver?

        I'm a big GGG fan but that's not the fight I wanted to him.

        Sure it will be fun to watch GGG knockin him out sensless but let's be honest Stevenson is mediocre. At best

            It's Stevens. And 75% of the forum wanted to See Golovkin vs Stevens after he ran his mouth. Someone who isn't going to be scared of GGG.

            Would I rather see Stevens vs. Golovkin over Mora vs. Golovkin....hell yeah. Those other fights can wait.

            I never said Stevens would win or even being number 1 person that deserves the fight. The fact of the matter is that he got a highlight reel ko that built some steam and then he talked so much and got us interested in seeing the fight.

              I agree. Stevens fight is ony interesting because he's talking a whole lot of crap.
              Other than that... he earned the fight because he talked himself into it.

              He's going to get sparked bad we we all know it.
              Mora is a fighter who isn't fan friendly, but he's a tricky fighter who has a resume.
              Bring Stevens on, but I still want to see a Mora fight, who deserves it more.
              Will probably happen in December

                I wonder what they eventually agreed to pay this joker.

                Would have preferred Geale or Barker, but it seemed neither was going to fight him.

                  Probably an extra 50-100k... they're probably paying Golovkin more though

                    Stevens will be somewhat competitive, probably most competitive to date, but Golovkin stops him

                      GGG is in a different class. Fun fight while it lasts though
