Adonis Stevenson moving down to 168?

I think at Stevensons age going down in weight won't work out well.We're the same age and I know you only get bigger.

not a good move, plus he could fight winner of Kovalev-Ward, Loser of Kovalev -Ward, and Beterbiev and make good money at 175.

I'm sure Haymon has radar on the outcome for Joe Smith Jr., and somehow if the Irish bomber gets lucky like Chavez Jr. did against Martinez but actually pulls an upset... it's the fight Stevenson is highly looking forward to considering he never got a chance against the Alien...

Joe Smith Jr vs Stevenson is a fight PBC needs, and needs to happen in an East Coast venue.

would be a good fight sugar Kaine. Both Bombers. I think Smith has a good chance against hopkins.

Can't imagine it being a good decision being that he's been at LHW for over 3 years now. Take note from Dawson.

If Stevenson can make 168 healthily (which I seriously doubt) he will take Groves and Jack OUT. Brutal stoppage. Degale is probably smart enough to survive to round 12 but he'd lose too.

Stevenson gets a lot of bad press, some of it is deserved but it was Kovs team that turned down the only fight that matters, apart from that, he has done everything asked of him and largely made it look easy. He is a genuine one punch KO artist and he is physically very strong. If he can make 168 and still keep his strength and core muscles the way they are at 175, these guys at super middle are done for.

I like James DeGale. He matured a lot in and out of the ring after the George Groves fight.

DeGale needs to move up, he looked terrible in his last weigh in

Stevenson I understand is a Showtime fighter and Ward/Kovalev are HBO so maybe he sees it as pointless to wait for them because of all the BS that would need to happen to make that fight. But the next best fight to make at those weights after Ward vs Kovalev is the winner defending their Ring/WBA/WBO/IBF titles against Stevenson and try to get his WBC title, although that's proven to be difficult due to mandos ruining possible unifications

[sicko]

Would really make things interesting in that Division if he does but his Power at 168 would be SCARY

I didn't get the impression that Stevenson said anything about moving down to SMW at all. It just sounded like DeGale wants big fights against big names & mentioned Stevenson as a possibility, IF he was willing to move down to SMW.
