stevens would have a great chance of beating barker or quillen
Stevens is still a legit middleweight and will become a champion

I absolutely think he could be a serious danger to anyone at 160. The only other MW I can immediately think of with that kinda handspeed is Martinez, and his flurries and combos could easily bring him some quality wins.
I think we need to see him in with some of the legitimate competition at 160; going from KOs of Ayala and Roman to a GGG loss leaves a wide gulf in ability and it's hard to say just where he fits in. Lee, Vera, Mora perhaps would provide decent yardsticks.
TBH I could easily seeing him beating a few of the guys in the top 10, and I think it's entirely possible he could get his hands on a belt if the GGG fight hasn't taken something out of him.
I could see many fighters who trade with him getting caught badly, the guys who I can see giving him the biggest problems are the Moras and Murrays of the world who have a tight defense or are good at spoiling.
Apparently he has previously suggested the possibility of a move down to 154, and I can also see him having success there.Comment

Disagree. He put up a decent effort - certainly not the do or die "this is the one chance I may ever get!" type effort. People are GGG happy right now and it is through his reflected hype that any light is shining on Stevens. The lemmings have got it all wrong. Again. Right on the heels of the Matthysse debacle. So sad. They'll never learn. Ever.Comment
