Physically? That's bull****. Mentally? Debatable, but possible.
Skills? I'd say that they are equal, but Stevenson's physical attributes give him an advantage (speed, power, timing, reflexes).
People who underestimate Stevenson's skills here be exposing themselves as the casuals that they are.
Stevenson mainly uses the left hand but he uses it in SO MANY different ways and comes in at so many different angles that it becomes unpredicatble even though you know it's coming.
He can use it as a snapping pull counter, he can use it as a split counter, as he lead straight left, as a lead left cross, as a straigh shot to the body, both counter and lead, as an uppercut to the body and to the head, both on the lead and on the counter.
Despite the various ways in which he throws it, he also has a large repetoire of ways that he sets it up, he sets it up and he is also brilliant at slipping punches within the pocket and countering.
His right hand is weak but he has a good jab and a right hooke to the body, both of which he uses to set up left hand bombs.
Stevenson being one dimensional is the biggest misconception probably in the history of boxing, he is in fact very deceptively dinamic.
He is the true embodiment of the principle: "It is better to be a master one art than a jack of all trades but master of none."
And I think it was Bruce Lee who said: "It is better to practice one kick one thousand times than to practice one thousand kicks only once."
Stevenson is the living embodiment of these principles.
Stevenson is one of the most skillful boxers alive, he has underated skills, mostly due to the ignorance that most commentators spue from their lips that confuses the public.
