Everytime someone points out how bad Stevenson is, you always get the same 2 guys coming in trying to defend the guy. It's laughable and sad.
The answer to the thread is never. He's ducked everyone with a heartbeat, from 80 year old Hopkins, to his mandatory who's been calling him a waste of space, to Kovalev who called him chickenson.
LHW is such a great division today with many solid contenders. It's depressing that it also has this pathetic excuse of a lineal champion for last 4 years.Comment

His next match will most likely be against Badou Jack, that's a good match-up.Comment

Until he's in the ring with someone decent I won't pay the guy any more attention than this post. He's one of the biggest frauds in Boxing and it's sad I don't even think of him when I think of the 175 division.
HBO and Kovalev wanted it, he went to Showtime and didn't get fights made with Hopkins or Pascal, both of whom got fights with Kovalev. Wouldn't fight Fonfara again, then Smith stopped him and all of a sudden turns down a Smith fight and then fights Fonfara in a worthless re-match. Has side stepped Alvarez for how long?
Fraud of a "champion" and deplorable human being. **** him.Comment

About Fonfara, he was requesting a bigger cut, more than 30%. But after his loss to Smith and his win over Dawson, he agreed with 30%, and the Stevenson Fonfara fight happened.
See, it's easy to point your finger at someone when you just shut your eyes on facts. But it's my duty to help you see through it.
Copied/Pasted:
After Stevenson beaten Dawson "june 2013", he said he wanted to fight Hopkins and Ward, while Ward was a commentator of the fight.
Ward says "76sec" Stevenson didn't have enough names on his resume to fight him. Still in HBO, Stevenson promoter offered Ward a deal to make 2 fights; 1st at 168lbs in Oakland, and the 2nd at 175lbs in Montreal. But Ward-Hunter sounds-off.
Stevenson went to the HBO convention "june 2013", adviser S.Watson was there, Schaefer & Hopkins too.
Knowing Stevenson wanted to fight him, Hopkins condition was for Stevenson to cross to Showtime to make that fight happen. Stevenson kept in touch with adviser S.Watson. And then Kovalev beated Cleverly winning the WBO strap "august 2013", he was not champion before that.
Later "nov 2013", Stevenson fought Bellew in the finals, right after the Kovalev Sillakh fight. Kovalev says he wants Stevenson. But according the fact Stevenson just won his clash against an Eddie Hearn guy "Bellew", because he still could do the SMW weight, also because Froch did everything to avoid him after the Super 6, and mostly because the canadian fans still had "Bute loss against Froch" on their hearts; Stevenson used this moment to say he wanted to fight Froch. HBO didn't understood, but the canadian crowd did.
After that, HBO was offering peanuts for Kovalev vs Stevenson WBO WBC unification, and for warm up fights. Stevenson signed with Haymon, to maximize his revenues & to evaluate Showtime monetary offer. He presented Showtime offer to HBO, to match it, but HBO rejected it for only $100 000. So Stevenson signed with Showtime to merged the Hopkins IBF & WBA belts to his WBC strap, for the Undisputed recognition. "BTW the WBO belt was not necessary to become Undisputed".
Kathy Duva made a lawsuit against Adonis Stevenson, Yvon Michel, Al Haymon, Golden Boy, Hopkins, Schaefer, DeLaHoya & Showtime; because she was nearly broke and was counting on that small 1.3million with a "rematch clause" HBO was willing to pay for Kovalev Stevenson. At least in that process, HBO decided to sign Kovalev right before the Agnew fight: to avoid loosing him too, to Showtime.
People must know, Stevenson nor Kovalev were sign under HBO at the time. But now that Kovalev locked himself under an HBO contract, he called Stevenson "p*ece-of-****" after he fought Agnew.
Right before the Hopkins Stevenson negotiation, Golden Boy broke relation with Schaefer and Haymon. Golden Boy & Hopkins quickly change boat to HBO, also quickly set a deal to fight Kovalev. The Duva phony lawsuit got drop at the same time: with Hopkins saying how he "check mate" Haymon and Stevenson.
Jean Pascal became mandatory to Stevenson. But Jean Pascal publicly says he wants 60%, Stevenson says calm down, it's 30. Pascal says 50%, Stevenson says I won't compromise, it's 30. Pascal blast off Stevenson in the media calling him Aduckn*s Ch*ckens0n, Superw0m*n, pvss*, tomato cans & taxi driver fighter & many more terms; 90% of Kovalev & followers trash words against Stevenson, started by Jean Pascal mouth; Kovalev only repeats what Pascal was barking, to his own limited trashing vocabulary.
Anyhow, Jean Pascal says 40% and Stevenson says lets wait for the WBC purse bid, knowing the WBC split policies were at 70-30.
So Jean Pascal left his mandatory position by his own and fought Kovalev for 40%. While Stevenson was already making money, it was Kovalev FIRST major paycheck in boxing. He did crumbs with Hopkins.
Kovalev cracked Pascal, pretending to still call out Stevenson with the WBC Diamond belt. Stevenson beat Bika and was ready for the Kovalev Stevenson negociation under the WBC rules of 50% split. But Kathy Duva stayed silent, even if Kovalev was no longer tied to his HBO contract.
So Yvon Michel and the WBC decided to setup a purse bid after 30 days of failed negociation. Kathy Duva claim they wouldn't participate on that purse bid because without HBO's back-up contract they will lose the bid, "like it wouldn't be fair". Okay then! so Yvon Michel and the WBC waited for Kovalev to sign another contract with HBO on May 2015, to setup a second purse bid. And Kathy Duva claims again she wouldn't participate in that second purse bid because it would cause a breach of contract if they would lose that bid, they would be in violation with the HBO exclusive contract terms. "They were just bluffing all along, Duva thought Stevenson would have vacate his title".
Then she starts saying, Stevenson should fought on HBO, out of his PBC agreement.
Even if it was clear, team Duva didn't want to lose any accomplishment Kovalev gain by fighting Hopkins and Pascal; boxing fans were already brainwashed & conditioned by the previous 2 years of constant media trashing against Stevenson. So even if Kovalev ducked Stevenson, followers, haters & trolls still believe Stevenson was & is the one ducking.
It's only a perception..:
Adonis Stevenson: Duva Used Me To Get New HBO Deal!
Like always, Stevenson is chasing the belts, he proposed a 2 networks deal, to fix the network issues, and to maximize the revenues; but Duva rejected the idea.
Again, Stevenson attempted to force a LIVE face-to-face against Kovalev on HBO, and Kovalev fled his own interview with Max Kellerman.
