What's next for Stevenson?

[MDPopescu]

Ward's fought "big bad Kovalev" twice, I see no reason he wouldn't take on Stevenson. A one handed fighter will NEVER beat Andre Ward.

... you're on what, actually?...

... Ward didn't "fight" Kovaliov even "once"... he only wrestled him!

Just go to boxrec and pick someone below the top 5

What???

Gvozdyk, Pascal, Beterbiev, Barrera...

He should be defending his title against better fighters but so should most of today's champions. I was impressed with the power and accuracy of his straight left. He seemed to have radar for his powerful left and he just couldn't miss with that punch. He must be one of the three best light heavyweights in the world and a serious threat to Ward and Kovalev.

Well since Alvarez won last night, he is the mandatory for the WBC now, isn't he?

[Jewish-Reptile]

At the very least Alvarez but hopefully Kovalev beats Ward. Because that's the fight that I want to see. I don't think Ward would go near Stevenson.

Like Ward wouldn't go near Kovalev once right ?

who cares, hes totally irrelevant and is a laughing stock

The only money match for Stevenson is the winner of Ward vs Koval.
It's time to challenge and I do believe he knows it!

Time for the biggest pay days available to all three of these men.
That's fighting each other.

This is the correct answer.

I think if Stevenson can get away with another bs fight he'll certainly do it, but I think he's getting to the end of the free money line cuz 175 is starting to fill out a lil more with these up & coming guys coming into their own & he will have to face someone threatening soon or he'll have to call up CM Punk from the UFC or something.

I think with all the connections HBO has with the 175 division they will not go out of their way to make Ward/Kov vs Stevenson sometime later this year or next when they can easily make Ward/Kov vs The Nail or Alvarez later this year or next. And anything that happens with Stevenson will still need to go out of their way I feel cuz Stevenson was still trying to get the fight on Showtime which just wasn't & I suggest still isn't going to happen.

And I legit think Adonis has done one of the best jobs in the modern history of boxing to make himself as close to obsolete as possible in a division while still holding a title & being lineal champion. Its crazy that he's been able to do what he's done...although obviously unintentionally & ultimately a negative for himself.

I still expect him to cash out mind you, but I think he'll have another upset L on his record before that &/or its still a year, best case, maybe 2 away.
