Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson: Kovalev looked like a 4 round fighter vs. Ward!

then fight em biatch!!

he was going to fight him until the dirty russian coward pulled out of the purse bid like a coward...... The russian coward knows he cant handle stevensons power thats why he fought ward who had to move up hahahahahaha....

[JASON SHAW]

of course it doesn't. Every fight is a separate fight. But i have to point out that even at 51 yo hopkins is harder to hit clean than stevenson. And if anything, joe smith has legitimate one punch power.

stevenons left hand is faster and stronger than joe smith jr...... He could very well put joe to sleep as well..... It will be a great fight if it happens

What about easily KO'ing a guy in 1 round that gave Adonis fits?

Triangle theories are not valid. Fonfara could have taken Smith lightly where he would never take the lineal champ lightly.

Smith is rugged and tough, no question. I just think it premature to project him against Stevenson coming off beating an aged Bhop.

He never fought someone as good as Kovalev and Ward and he's actively avoiding Kovalev

ok. I don't know if I agree with you on being tougher to hit.

I think its hard to judge Smith given the context of his fight with Bhop.

Then why bring up the B-Hop fight?

That's called a double standard to support your narrative. You can't have it both ways.

Based on what I've seen from both guys lead me to my conclusion so I give my opinion.

Nothing more to say other than Adonis is the champ but so far he's taken the course of least resistance as far as defending his title goes.

Like you I am no fan of kova and even less of a fan of Russian athletes...And I've been well informed on what occurred between the two thanks to people like and others on this forum, but he can still force the fight

I agree completely with Adonis Stevenson, this overrated HBO hype-job could not stop a 50 year Grandfather in Bernard Hopkins ; when Joe Smith Jr. tops your performance only su****ion to your caliber occurs in the mind along with the fact that Chilemba managed to see the final bell in your own home country weighs heavily in validating Mr. Stevenson's ( lineal champion ) sentiments.

Hopkins was in obvious survival mode after getting dropped and hurt by Kov's power early...and Chilemba had never been stopped at that time.... Stevenson couldn't stop a old smaller Bika, and Smith ko'd Fonfara, who went distance with Adonis, in one.

what happened was that they had a purse bid scheduled to fight and al haymon and stevenson won.... Then kovalev and his lying promoter pulled out and started making excuses..... For some reason stevenson got all the blame..... Meanwhile hbo boycotted al haymon who promotes stevenson and he took all his fighters to showtime.... Thats pretty much it...... Kovalev keeps hiding behind his hbo exclusivity contract... I cant really blame stevenson....
