How good is Stevenson really?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Talented and very dangerous due to his lights out power in either hand. Really good jab and works well behind it

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.

About Cloud, again, he was coming off a loss to Hopkins and before that a complete robbery "win" over Campillo. He was never particularly good, and at that point Stevenson really doesn't deserve much credit for the win.

I'm definitely not crapping on Dawson's career. I was one of his consistent defenders since joining this site. I think time has proven that the Ward fight completely ruined him, though, and that's not hindsight on my part. I thought the same thing back when Stevenson beat him and said so. Time has only made me look more right about that.
