Adonis Stevenson was knocked out by clubfighter Boone and people said he did not belong in the ring with Dawson and we saw what happened there. It doesn't mean Stevens is going to win but history is littered with guys who lost to club fighters and went on to win titles in upsets.

That's the thing. We've seen alotta upsets lately, so many I gave up making strong predictions. Stevens is definitely a live dog, and GGG will definitely not have an easy go of it. Yes I expect a GGG victory, but not a freight train win certainly, and I am not ruling out an upset. Best thing though, we know we'll have a great fight either way.

True, but Dawson had already been exposed by the time he fought Stevenson. It began with Pascal. Despite Dawson having his moments in that fight, he got hurt a few times and lost on the scorecards after a head-butt cut his eye. Next was Hopkins. Although Dawson won the second fight (after the ridiculous body slam nc first), it was a split decision over a then 47 year old! Then he dropped down in weight and got stopped by Ward. Stevenson has power and talent, which has been honed of late in the Kronk gym by the late, great Emmanuel Stewart. As for Golovkin vs Stevens, Gennady Golovkin's riding high NOW. Curtis Stevens was a big prospect what, eight years ago? A has been that never was taking out a beast like Golovkin? Doubtful.

I am of the opinion that Sad Chad was overrated and got way to much credit for beating old men. I also believe he wasn't weight drained against Ward he just wasn't that good to begin with.

I **** you not, Chin Checkers were the hottest thing going when I was in high school. People that didn't even watch boxing knew who they were. I was such a big fan it truly crushed me when Jaidon got KO'd by Allan Green (who I hate to this day).

That must've been a blast to check out. Wish we had a decent boxing scene to check out... ANYWHERE here in the south.
