Adonis Stevenson Should Consider Retirement

Post by bnovelist »

He's the linear champ but refuses to fight anyone and he's so much of a cherry picker he makes Ward look very active :lol: This Stevenson he's the

best at holding up the big fights! He hasn't fought anyone in 3yrs :shame: but still holds up belts! This guy is making Mikey Garcia looking very

active right now as well. We all know he wouldn't sign to fight Ward so what's his purpose? Nobody on boxrec ever brings up his name and he

doesn't even attend fights so that the media can check up on him this guy is actually the worst there is. As far cherry picking and inactivity.

Jip but come on man even Floyd did fight Mosely coming off that knockout of Margarito and he also fought Maidana twice. Stevenson's only notable

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?

:lol: :lol: :OhYes: he's so inactive even posting his name is damn near a waste of time. It's one thing to duck challenges constantly, but it's another

thing to NEVER attend events. He never attends any of the sanctioning bodies events, boxing matches, celebrity events, NOTHING! It's

impossible to get a current interview from him that discusses his plans.

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?

I believe that's a lie. Why? He Stevenson has been cherry picking after cherry picking after cherry picking. When have you seen on film Stevenson

actively calling out big names in his division? When and where? Why didn't he attend Ward vs Kovalev fight weekend? That was the perfect time

to promote himself calling out the winner! The way he flies under the radar just seems as if he's dodging the media. Please don't talk about that

ring antic that was phony and Stevenson knew someone was grab him separating the two. He's been hard cherry picking over the past 3yrs

bigtime, so why should anyone believe that lie. Kovalev is the one that has been fighting all the names in his division which makes him to seem

more believable. Let Haymon offer Kovalev 4-5million guaranteed and I bet Team Kovalev will sign. Kovalev has granite chin and Stevenson's

chin wouldn't hold for the later rounds.

It's a solid chin but it's far from granite. Golovkin has a granite chin.

Kovalev has a chin just like Golovkin I have never seen Krusher hurt and dazed from a shot. He absorbs them very well :box:

He's been down a few times and was KTFO in the amateurs. His chin is okay, but he's not GGG level sturdy.

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.

That said, it's still disappointing.

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 is simply standard practice.

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.

Odd career moves, I thought some time ago Stevenson was waiting it out for a big payday but his selling features are quickly fading.
