He's more accomplished than most think and could end it pretty fast... BTW what do we know about Kovalev's chin ? Pascal bullied him with a couple shots and those were not Stevenson's caliber shots at all...

Stevenson ducked two of Kovalev's title defense opponents:
Hopkins (ranked #1 at the time, Kovalev was #2 then)
Pascal (ranked #3 at the time)
Stevenson has never had a single title defense against a top 3 light heavyweight.

Hasn't stopped him flattening 15 of his last 17 opponents he beat (dropping all of them at least one time). You add that Stevenson is comfortable off of the back foot, while also being longer than Kovalev, and people are overlooking the parameters of the fight.

Personal bias aside, Stevenson is a real threat to Kovalev. Whilst I still have Kovalev winning by KO, this is a dangerous fight for both men, both have power to hurt combined with their own vulnerabilities.
Watching Kovalev bury that clown would make me very happy, I hope I get to see it.
