How good is Stevenson really?

[tokon]

He's a top 3 guy at 175 however you cut it. P4P is bs so top 20 there is childlike sci-fi nonsense and doesn't reallllly mean anything.

He certainly hasn't helped his cause fighting bs opposition doe.

All good points!

He's got a better resume than what others want you to believe. Dawson, Cloud, Bellew, Fonfara. His last 4 fights leave a lot to be desired though and if he really is fighting Monaghan next, he's continuing a negative trend. There's also the fact that highly publicized fights against Kovalev, Hopkins, and Pascal all fell through. We all know both sides of the story regarding the Kovalev fight but when you add the Hopkins and Pascal fallouts, it's hard to pin the blame on others.

He is the fighter that nobody wants to face in my opinion! give credit for Tony Bellew for facing him when he did! Afew years back i believe he was a very potent fighter, but these days i feel like his bionic abilities are starting to fade! I watched one of his recent fights, and his movement seemed to be slowing down....

But stylistically he has a better chance at knocking out Andrew Ward even at this stage of his career! in comparison to Sergey Kovalev!

He hasn't done much.

His career is pretty ironic; he has become this sort of phantom who ducks every other top fighter in his division thus remains "a threat".

Had he fought any of them he probably would have just gotten smacked up and forgotten.

Hmmmm... ask me again after his 10th fight as a pro.

All I see here is comments about his left hand. How does that make him good? And once the left gets taken away by a smart good fighter, what does he have?

Cloud was TERRIBLE. He came off two straight losses and even at his best as one of the most overrated fighters of his era. Dawson doesn't exactly look good either over time, and personally I always thought it was an overrated win. The Ward fight ruined him.

Now Bellew looks much better than it did then and Fonfara is solid, but that's still a really weak resume.

It depends on your angle. Cloud was a good win at the time. He was a top 10 LHW. It's as good of a win as, for example, Gennady Golovkin's best win, David Lemieux.

Dawson is super underrated. He beat Adamek, Tarver twice, Johnson twice, and Hopkins. And don't give me **** about them being old. Tarver is still going strong at heavyweight, Johnson made a run in the Super 6, and Hopkins went on to unify the division.

Stevenson will be as good as the opponent you'll put in front of him...

And once for all, enough with those Kovalev's Alternative Facts/Fake News... Blame Duva/HBO for the fail...

[FinitoxDinamita]

I kinda see him as a poor man's antonio Tarver in a sense that he is only good with his left hand and is a one hit wonder.
