    Thanks for the positive the other day.

    If you read the STevenson def Force thread it seems very clear race is a major issue. From my reading some posters are genuinely pissed the fight isn't happening. Other posters seem mad that al haymon got stevenson a ton of money. You actually called the thread maker out for the "black list" which suggested you saw something else that wasn't boxing related.

      I use to read everything on this issue...
      ... The "race" approach comes up on forums like this one...
      ... Actual boxing fights are not about race -- they are about styles, etc... Posters make them "about race"...
      And, unfortunately a particular part of the posters...

      (As about me, my favorite fighters are: GUILLERMO RIGONDEAUX, LEO SANTA CRUZ, Omar Figueroa, Lucas Matthysse, Tim Bradley, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather Jr, ERISLANDY LARA, SERGIO MARTINEZ, GENNADY GOLOVKIN, CARL FROCH, BERNARD HOPKINS, SERGEY KOVALEV... )

        A fighter is always going to have a different perception than a fan. As a former fighter, I can tell you that I was in fights I thought I clearly won. Then I look at tape, and never "felt" the fight that way.

        I think fighters don't like to see early stoppages because they know sometimes it only takes a fighter a few seconds to recoup. I don't have an issue with the stoppage but I understand when fighters say those things.

          True, fights are about styles. Posters opinions, unfortunately, seem to be about other things, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

          As to your question above, I think it was Haymon's decision. He IMO is using adonis to get back at Herschman for kicking him off HBO

            Curtis Stevens wouldn't last a round against Stevenson. Stevens probably shouldn't be calling out a bigger puncher than himself. He already tried that against Golovkin and you saw how that turned out.

              I don't think he's calling him out, he's calling him a b1tch because he's ducking his stablemate Kovalev

                  that's not the point of this threat. who cares?

                  When you lost respect from your fellow colleagues, something has gone wrong.
