did u all see the cuban getting huge fights after losing to ward? nope..same would happen with alvarez...maximize his dollar prior to stevenson by wagering his positiion as teh mando to anyone he fights...
this is nearly pascal kov, but to a worse degree, all over again...the popular fighter using his popularity to gain a position that he really hasn't earned.

GYM are desperately trying to make Alvarez seem like a big fight for Stevenson when in fact he's no better than Chilemba who was a tune-up for Kovalev
If there can still be no unification, then Stevenson needs to face someone like Beterbiev, Gvozdyk or Shabranskyy next year. Otherwise what is the point of his career

The real mystery is why people still make a big deal out of stevenson or expect anything from him. He is 39-40 years old and has had one or two noteworthy fights in his career. Do you think he's gonna suddenly "get serious about this boxing thing" at 41?
It's over. The convicted pedo took your money, ducked every top fighter in his division and is cruising to the finish line.

Originally posted by Humean View PostIf he loses it would hardly have been a good decision. Yunieski Gonzalez fought Shabranskyy after Pascal and lost. My comment, and most others wasn't about Alvarez, it was about Stevenson and the mandatory situation. Alvarez became mandatory last November, Stevenson fought once in 2016, he was supposed to be fighting Alvarez next. Stevenson needs to fight someone credible. at this rate there may not be a credible opponent for him until March at the earliest. Is he going to wait to fight Alvarez in late spring or summer? If so then Stevenson, Alvarez, Haymon and Michel are conspiring to hold the belt hostage.
..as far as the mando part..the mando is the one who signed not to fight the champion but some other fighters..he isnt petitioning the wbc..he has article out saying he wants more experience..
so u really think he's being held hostage now? he's in an easir fight and likely going to be a sell out crowd bc of bute..he's about to get paid well for a fight he shouldnt lose
