Adonis Stevenson Isn't That Good Nor Is His Resume

[VG_Addict]

I think Kovalev would have knocked out Bellew in under 6 rounds.

Who do you think wins between Kovalev and Stevenson?

Stevenson is a little too reliant on his left hand IMO

He's gotten a lot better the last few fights and he's got one of the most explosive left hands. I think he's really good but Kovalev would beat him.

[just the facts]

His claim to fame is a early ko win vs Dawson. Good win of course, but it told us nothing on how good he was. He landed a great shot on a cold Dawson. A Dawson who was hurt with ease by a guy with hardly any power in Ward.

Other then that who has he beat? His resume is piss poor.

Kovalevs resume while not that great either is better then Stevensons.

I'm not sold on Stevenson being that good at all. Kovalev has clearly showed to have superior skills IMO. From what we have seen of both, I'm not sure how you can deny that.

Wrong! Stevenson has a modest resume, but is miles ahead of Kovalev. Who exactly has Kovalev fought that leads you to believe he has the better resume?

Stevenson is a little too reliant on his left hand IMO

I wouldn't say a little, I'd say too reliant. I don't think he's that good personally.

[Cuban Linx]

His resume is good. I don't think it's as great as everyone says it is, but it is a good resume. I feel a lot of people are overrating his win over Dawson, and don't get me wrong that was impressive, but Dawson was coming off a beating at the hands of Ward where he got dropped 3 times.

[Light_Speed]

He's dangerous but limited. He's going to either destroy his opponents or get destroyed himself.

I agree that his win over Dawson is not that great when you put it in perspective.
