Comments Thread For: Critics turn on 'Superman' Stevenson with lightning speed

[yoshik]

I am not surprised. Boxing fans who talk the most, especially the ones on this message board, are very fickle. Before he fought Danny Garcia, Lucas Matthysse was a combination of Roberto Duran and Marvin Hagler and would destroy Mayweather, according to the experts on this site. After Garcia defeated him (which I predicted) he was an overrated nobody. Stevenson had a decent challenge and now the fickesperts claim he is overrated.

I always said the jury was still out on him based on his career performances and I still say the jury is out on him. How he performs against Hopkins and hopefully Kovalev and Andre Ward will tell me whether he is truly a great fighter or just another Antonio Tarver who is living off his performance in one fight.

My personal opinion is that he is good. He would definitely beat Kovalev; might beat a 50 year-old Hokins, but would not beat a 40 year-old Hopkins; and he would get taken to school for 12 rounds and possibly KO'd by Ward.

Dude you are seriously twisted.

Do you think anyone would be sad if Kovalev killed Stevenson in the ring?

Lol ouch emm yeah somehow I think people would be upset and Kovalev wpuld be devestated at thinking hes killed another guy in the ring which could potentially stop him being the brutal beast he is.

Remember when Andre Ward blatantly ducked Superman Stevenson hmmm I wonder why but you know anyway... "Ward still beat him doe"

Ward prefers law suits not fights.

Can you blame anyone for turning on him?

He has a big mouth, the whole network Kovalev thing, has a fight with a feather-fisted Fonfara and can't finish him because he's so one dimensional, can't use his right hand for ****, his resistance to being heavily attacked is suspect.

He gassed out. It could be a one-off fight or signs he was never reall that great, time will tell.

But he made it EASY for everyone to turn on him.

Very good answer. Thou people hating on Stevenson is a bit much thou. Was he really that bad a talker?

[Mr. Meeseeks]

LOOK AT ME!

He knew this backlash was coming while HBO was trying to build this fight. I can't wait till Hopkins liberates his belt and he's on his back crying for a network to pick him up. HBO will sacrifice him and leave him after Kovalev is done feasting on his bones.

Existence is pain
