Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Stevenson Has To "Ask Haymon" if He Can Fight

[My Low Place]

He will try to schuck and jive his way to a points "win" but Krusher should catch him

tbh that is wat he should try to do..shuck and jive isnt the right term to be using..but i'll say outbox and make it ugly...ward is overmatched or evenly matched in ALL AREAS..if he wins this fight he is truly an ATG..and i dont care wat anyone says but he isnt winning..he is basically a cherrypick with a name

"I’m the lineal [175-pound] champion, so everything has to go through me." - AAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA people thought you already retired, F-OFF ****kenson. Should of fought Kovalev when you had a chance

I can prove HBO killed the fight twice and Duva once but people won't even bother to read it. I can prove Showtime tried to make the fight twice but people won't bother to read it. When Stevenson signed with Showtime there was a clause in his contract to fight on any network if his promoter lost the purse bid. That's why Michel wasn't worried when the WBC ordered the purse bid. Stevenson had all his ducks in a row.

hey i've probably already read them, but give us more..give us the links and all...i'll read them in fascinated by a 40 year old kicking bigger younger stronger men the **** up.

there should literally be a movie about this dude

I feel like Haymon has to ask Stevenson about if he wants the "real fights" cuz Stevenson hasn't done **** since Fonfara really in my eyes.

Stevenson, Garcia & Canelo are kinda the triple crown of dip****s who don't wanna fight elite level cats up to their own skill level these days. Stevenson gots a good mandatory coming up I believe, Garcia gots Thurman in March & supposedly Canelo vs GGG is a mere 10 months away under Oscar's blueprint (yet GGG supposedly turned down a huge pile of money or just didn't return the call to fight Canelo sooner so idk why Oscar would be confident of September '17) so this might all change soon, but I'll change my opinion when they start fighting real mfers not when they got real mfers on their schedule.

GGG hasn't had an offer to fight Canelo sooner than Sept 2017. The 8 figure offer Oscar was spouting about was for a fight in Sept 2017.

Stevenson won't fight Kovalev unless it's screened on Showtime, and Kovalev has an exclusivity deal with HBO. I've given up hope of seeing that match. Superduck clearly doesn't want it, or any other real challenge.

True. He's a one punch KO artist but how many guys below heavyweight can end you with one punch? That left hand aint no joke and it's hard avoiding it the whole fight. And if you do avoid it the whole fight you aren't taking enough chances to win the fight on the cards.

he wont the cloud fight with a jab alone nearly...he weant on the inside wtih thomas williams jr and fonfara...

stevenson only gives you wat u make him give..

I didn't say who wanted a rematch. I said warranted a rematch. You think those fights would've went different in the rematch? It would've went the same way all Mayweather rematches go, more dominant the second time around.

Shut up about Mayweather, fanboy.

Ward takes his left hand away easy peasy. I see absolutely no way that Stevenson beats Ward unless Ward falls asleep in the ring. Once Ward gets inside, Stevenson is going to be like a fish out of water.

He obviously has a better chance of beating Kovalev for the simple reason that Kovalev is so aggresive, but it is still easy work imo. So yes Stevenson possibly being the biggest puncher south of heavyweight, he can put either to sleep, but that is a slim chance.

Thanks for correcting me on the 8 figure thing. In my defense anytime Oscar talks about GGG vs Canelo my eyes tend to glaze over & I don't pay too much attention in shame for Oscar & pity for Canelo that his promoter isn't as bold as Arum was with Oscar back in the day.

The bolded is my #1 problem with Stevenson. The business of boxing is so f#cked up & divided these days I can forgive guys for specific fights not happening in many cases, but I can't defend indefinite garbage fights & Stevenson is one of these high profile guys who keeps fighting garbage opponents guys right now. Like him or not. Think he's running from Kovalev or not. Whatever or not. He's fighting garbage opponents.
