Both guys are pretty overrated. I think Canelo (and Reyes) showed us that Fonfara's victory over Chavez was a foregone conclusion due to Julio's mediocrity rather than a defining win.
On the other hand Fonfara was supposed to be a TBA/light-touch opponent when a younger version of Stevenson first fought him and they both went down. Now a rematch with that light-touch will be maybe the biggest fight of Stevenson's terrible career.
I lean slightly towards Stevenson. The tie breaker is that Fonfara's style is fundamentally bad. He's a lanky guy who never uses his range and stalks his opponents, like a giraffe trying to Dempsey-roll a hippo.
