win was against a damaged goods Dawson and hasn't done anything since. He should actually be stripped but Haymon is protecting Adonis bigtime.
Even Floyd had to take tough fights every now and then, Stevenson has been holding up the belts 3yrs now with STILL no plans for unification.
He is the absolute worst there is.
yeah its true. floyd fought shane when shane had a big ko, maidana and canelo were also very dangerous opponents. than floyd opened the chicken club and adonis became the new president and main owner of the chicken club, is that okay with you?
Kovalev withdrew from the WBC's purse bid process when Stevenson had already agreed to defend his title against Krusher. The Russian did this after his promoter aggressively lobbied the WBC to instate him as the mandatory challenger to Adonis' title. When Kovalev withdrew from the fight, he deservedly lost his WBC ranking.
Anyone care to challenge this fact? Does anyone honestly believe that I'm lying?

It's a solid chin but it's far from granite. Golovkin has a granite chin.
I feel disappointed by Stevenson. I've always defended him and his abilities but it's pretty much impossible to defend him anymore in regards to the fights he's willing to take these days. I know he's 39 or whatever he is now but he should just retire if he's not going to fight the best guys in the division (1 or 2 of them atleast). Although if he can still make millions fighting sub-par opposition then I guess I can't hate him for doing it. We'd all do it if we could get away with it, let's be honest.
Ya, he's been a massive disappointment over the last few years and is apparently very content with beating up weak opposition for solid money. He's quite a good fighter and could've built a much stronger record, but now he's almost 40 and if he steps up again I'm not sure he'll be what he was.

Because Chickenson knows he would be brutally KO'd. He isn't going to face anyone too dangeorus. The guy is a cowardly cunt.
Yvon Michel wants all versions of the light heavyweight title under the GYM promotional banner. He has clearly stated his intention to steer Beterbiev towards the IBF belt, whilst Stevenson holds the WBC belt.
Other senior figures in the sport of boxing, such as Eddie Hearn and Al Haymon, also perform the same practice for their own fighters (i.e. different fighters in the same stable each holding/challenging for a different version of a world title in the same weight division).

this and haymon wants easy pay days. he wants adonis to fight c class, so that adonis never gets hurt, makes quick bucks fight after fight and everybody except the fans are happy.
against guys like bertebiev or 6'2 power puncher gvozdyk no matter win or lose you are going into a zone of pain
Many fighters breath heavily between rounds, even when they're still fighting fine.
He admitted to tiring against Chilemba (as well as other opponents), but I don't recall him being hit with many body blows in that fight. It's convenient to say that Ward made him tire with shots downstairs, but I'm not convinced, and I certainly can't recall one particular shot that obviously pained him.
