Another article where Fitzsimmons insults the reader. Classic troll bait.

That's all he does. Side with Haymon fighters and insult boxing fans like he's better than us. Self-righteous c*nt.

Lyle described a large segment of NSB perfectly in this article. Even though the rankings tabulation he used may be accurate he has to understand that optics weigh far more than opponent quality with regards to Stevenson.

I agree with what Lyle wrote but I still will not watch an Adonis fight unless it is against the winner of pascal and Kov because I want to see Adonis defend the title against a worthy opponent.

Lyle is the worst, buddy if your not interested I'm the big fights get off boxing's nut sack. There is only one media guy that actually likes boxing and that is Steve Kim. Lyle is a full of crap! Mr. Knowitall wanna be. Just a hater on our sport.

I see that the author conveniently didn't go back 5 fights to Nathan Cleverly and his ranking for %. The fact is that Kovalev is active, stepping up and clearly looking #1 at 175.

How hard is it to look like a killer fighting the bums that Kovalev did? Cleverly was also a bum, he just got beat by a fat Tony Bellew.

You missed the point by a mile.....whooooosh. The longer I live i find that people generally are not that smart and easily manipulated.

Fat Bellew, Cleverly > Karpency who beat Aduckis' best win

Stevenson has beaten a Chad Dawson that was likely ruined by Ward and subsequently ducked fights with Kovalev, Hopkins & Pascal in that time. But he building towards da superfight doe.

Why does this site employ such a worthless, talentless hack?

piece of trash. he turned down fights with kovalev, hopkins, and pascal. he won't fight anyone but bums. building a superfight? no racking up easy paychecks. leonard fought the lineal 154 pound champ as a tune up for hearns. stevenson fought dmitri sukohtsky for a tuneup for fonfarra 2?

What ****zsimmons fails to point out (almost certainly because he wasn't aware of such a fact) is that Leonard and Hearns had agreed in principle to fight six months before they actually did, hence Hearns being on the undercard of Leonard-Kalule.

Hmm so Stevenson gets 1.5mill to face Dimitry can you blame him? He's collecting 7 figure paychecks before the final cash out against Kovalov.

Kovalov only got 6 figures against Hopkins lol.

What makes it worse, they think the article is about them, when it is about the authors contemporary. I.E the "anointed king of boxing media". He's talking about a lazy media who hop on bandwagons and try to make a Team Edward/team werewolf environment among the fans.

I wrote an article very similar to this discussing rankings and criticizing Stevenson..... This was published a little after.... Kinda hard not to feel like there was some kind of connection. Especially when he mentions twitter and my suckle are retweeted on Twitter. I don't think it's all about me obviously but I think I was part of it
