    I sure as hell dont. adonis only has one punch and thats his straight left. a fighter as skilled as ward can destroy anyone who only has one weapon.

    If the fight happens i predict ward ko 11

    stevenson destroys him. ward turned down the fight for a reason. ward has a similar defense to floyd where straight lefts can land and stevenson is certainly great with that left. he can throw it at any time. at long range or at guys when they jump forward to clinch(ward style)

        A punchers chance, but that's it. Ward will pick him apart and win a comfortable decision if this fight happens.

          Nah. His inside game is nonexistent and if there is something I'm missing, its nowhere near the level of Ward's. Ward will smother the **** out of him and take away his left hand. Stevenson's attack is limited and his rhythm is predictable and Ward will figure him out early and deal with him easily.

          I hope Ward moves up and takes this fight before Kovalev or Hopkins gets to it first. Its a golden opportunity to win the lineal strap in his second division.

            Stevenson did remind me of a poor mans Pac the way he shot that jab and left hand. Not on Pacs level but hes pretty damn good for 175.

            Id give him a good shot since Wards been hurt before but the obvious favorite is Ward decision.

              Stevenson is tricky with the left. He set up the punch because earlier in the round he threw it to the body and then later threw it right to the chin

              It would be a pick em fight

              Kovalev destroys both tho

                Could? Sure, it's boxing, who knows.

                I certainly wouldn't expect it though.

                  It seems that Ward has no interest in the 175lb class, I wonder why?
                  Theres no more money left at the BS 168 class! Unless fans actually think that Ward vs Junior is a good fight. Has junior learned to box yet?
                  Ward is pretty one dimentional too in fact most of todays boxers are one dimentional. No one fights inside no one knows how to tie a knot, and backing up in a straight line seems to be the norm!
                  Ward wants GGG to move up but I doubt he moves up himself, or fight Froch who's pretty much done and any of the other machine like no talents.
                  Stevens is refreshing, win or loose he will make it interesting and Kovalev needs two more fights and he can be deemed ready ( I know he is now but the fringe public needs to see him a few more times)
                  They better all move slowly or they'll be no one to fight in a years time!
                  This is a business and if one takes over in dominant fashion it might be the worst move he could make!
                  Stevens, Ward, Kovalev, Shemenof, Hopkins, Capperelo, Junior and Dawson (if he can make it back) could be interesting for 15 months if they fight one another. Kovalev and Stevens are at the top but why not Ward?
                  The promotion companies have a chance to make the Lightheavies an interesting class! Ray.

                    P**** ward will not take the fight cause, 1 that division has 2 Champs that would ring his bell, and 2 The fight won't be in Oakland cause ***** ass Goosen can not offer as much as he would make to have the fight in Canada. 3 He won't move up nut, they can become weight deprived and move down though for sure.
