Ya Stevenson's power is so overrated on here because he knocked out Dawson. That's literally his whole claim to fame and people keep acting like he's destroyed all these great guys. Like you said Dirrell had bika very hurt in their fight and Stevenson couldn't even put him away after drilling him repeatedly. His power is the worst out of the three.

Stevenson never hurt Bika, that knockdown was the only real highlight of the fight and Bika was coming up from super middleweight. Who knocks out Hopkins? Pascal ended the fights on his feet because his corner and the ref saved his life. Case closed.Comment

but the question isa bout huge power..and huge power doesnt end on your feet..it end on your tail and sleep like dawson and karpency and other stevenson victims..Comment

By the time he fought Beterbiev, he couldn't even handle a punch from Floyd... so that comment should be taken with a grain of salt..
The real issue is that a 32-year old, one-division champion who has only beaten 30+ over-the-hill Europeans on his own soil is ranked so highly on lb 4 lb lists, but needs 3 tune ups to fight at 32 years old...
How long do we need 30+ year olds to build fights for?Comment

speed is a big part in beating hopkins as well as not fightin his pace..stevenson can up pace and hs very good hand speed..as well as timing..his timing is better than bhops imo..bhop hates a guy with that kind of skillsetComment

i think stevenson's left touches opponents based off of timing form round 1..his timing is impeccable so i think kovalev tastes the power first and that will tell stevenson a lotComment

I was looking at Berterbiev vs Cloud that counter in first round agaisnt the Jab at 9:55. That was so quick. Kovalev fight behind his Jab i could see this happenening again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT6ORS4jNvIComment
