Alvarez is Stevenson next opponent

[Scipio2009]

Fought one time this year... great activity for a 39 year old

Adonis Stevenson only put on boxing gloves in his mid 20s, had all of 40 fights as an amateur, and has never taken a beating as a professional. You add that he seems to stay in the gym, while also not having to torture his body to make weight, and your comment is much ado about nothing.

Much ado about nothing? Even if you throw out his age and late start, look where he stands with his career. The supposed best LHW because he has the lineal title... but he barely fights, and when he does it's on a friday night on Showbox, spike or some shit.

You really gonna defend him doing nothing, especially signing w/Haymon who was supposed to boost him?

He couldn't even make the Fonfara rematch after boiling it over for 2 years.

Even you can't argue that his career is going nowhere right now, absolutely nowhere.

He beat Fonfara soundly. And as inactive as Adonis has been he's doing a lot better than Kovalev.

Stevenson by knockout. Alvarez doesn't impress me.

Stevenson will have his fight against Alvarez in early 2017 in Montreal (with two Montreal-based fighters, facing off n Montreal, you can imagine how much Canadian money will end up being pushed behind the event), and then be sent for a likely massive Summer/Fall fight against Andre Ward to unify all of the belts at 175 (Kathy Duva never gets up the gumption to take the risk).

What happens after that will come down to how Stevenson performs and on how much longer he wants to fight. Regardless of that, though, Stevenson has the stage set for at least two massive paydays for he and his family.

As long as Stevenson can fight and defend his lineal/WBC light heavyweight title, to argue that his career is going nowhere is ridiculous.

Excellent post as usual.

[Canelo and GGG]

Avarez is decent but Adonis will Ko him imo.

And all those fights he's taken since were lesser than a rematch.

I won't argue that his resume is better than Kovs, but how sad is it that you have the better quality of opponents and nobody cares about you and the guy with the lesser resume is getting all the attention, all the praise and anything positive coming his way while you sit fighting once a year on a Friday night in front of a couple thousand.

I guess he can take that as a moral victory when he buys the Kov/Ward PPV

You honestly think that fight will be big? JUst because they're two montreal based guys? Adonis already can't draw anybody to his fights and what can Alvarez do to help?
If Ward wins, the could happen since Roc can't and won't do anything else W/Ward. THat's if Ward wins and Stevenson fights more than once a year. Pretty sure there's a rematch clause in the fight too.


You just threw up a bunch of hypotheticals, and none of those are supported by what he's done w/his career thus far, like at all.

LOL, he's had the stage set for big fights/paydays forever. Ward, Hopkins, Kovalev. Even if you take out Kov for Duva being a chicken ****, he had Ward and Hopkins in the palm of his hand. He let Kov hold all those other belts now when he could've fought Hopkins 2 years or w/e ago.

His career is just sitting there, doing nothing.

Kovalev is a better fighter than Stevenson.

What is Stevenson's best win? Dawson who was coming off a loss to Ward in a fight he was weight-drained? Bellew? Williams, who quit against ancient Campillo?

Also, Stevenson uses his athleticism to cover up his flaws. He's 39 years old, so his athleticism won't last much longer.
