No way it's top 3 - you're forgetting Buchanan beating Laguna as well as the two already mentioned.

Boone ain't no mug!! Geezer has dropped kovalev & ward also! Not many fighters let alone journeymen are capable of that!
Bellew could off been waved of by ovil quite easily. I think bellew is drawing too much from the Boone fight & that could be dangerous.

However one thing with Cloud is he is a shorty and Bellew is 6ft2 odd with long arms. He needs to try and frustrate Stevenson with his height as he has a big height and reach advantage. He can win this if he boxes to a plan so good luck to him. Really hope he can pull it off.
Even though Stevenson is relatively short for the weight class he has really long arms so im not sure Tony will even have the longer reach to be honest.

Looking at Tony he appears to have very long arms. All statistic websites seem to differ, and this isn't just the case with Tony and Adonis Stevenson. Boxrec have Bellew as having a couple of cm in reach, but some other stats websites have Bellew with a reach over 200cm. I'd be surprised if his reach is that long but I certainly think he has a longer reach than is listed on boxrec.

Bellew will get flattened on 1st Dec, he's shown nothing his previous fights to display he can outbox Stevenson (even in his masterclass against McKenzie) or out punch him, he got up against McKenzie and Ajisafe, Stevenson is a different level.
