If he does ever move to 175 he'll be at a huge disadvantage unless he bulks up somehow. Kovalev is in the mid 180s, not sure about Stevenson, but I'd imagine he's upper 180s in the ring.

Stevenson't weight advantage is too big, and I doubt that he would agree to a catch weight. If Froch was a real danger for Stevenson, the fight would never happen, as Haymon fighter equals a cherry picker.

Bellew vs Mayweather would be an interesting fight, unrealistic but discuss anyway.

Very funny. Was Bellew Mayweather's mandatory at any time ?

No he's at least 5 weight divisions heavier.

Carl Froch told Sky's Ringside TV program... “I don’t think he [Adonis] has any plans on coming back down to super middleweight , and I certainly don’t have any plans on going up to light heavyweight. I can’t see that fight happening, to be honest.

Carl Froch then told Sky Sports News that "If the Chavez fight doesn't happen, there's a strong chance of me retiring a happy man."

Adonis Stevenson became Carl Froch’s IBF mandatory challenger on the 20th October, 2012.

As per the stipulated rules, ‘The Cobra’ opted to engage in a title unification bout against Mikkel Kessler on the 25th May, 2013, rather than compete against a 20-fight novice (Adonis Stevenson) that had already tasted defeat to an anonymous name.

A couple of months before Carl Froch had even fought Mikkel Kessler, Adonis Stevenson had already made the jump to the 175lb weight division.

Therefore, there was never any real possibility of Carl Froch facing Adonis Stevenson… and if they had done (at 168lbs), then I have complete and utter confidence that the man from Nottingham would have overwhelmed the Canadian and scored a late stoppage in fairly dominant fashion.

Simply put: the calibre of the men that Adonis Stevenson has faced throughout his career (to plagiarise a phrase coined by the legendary Larry Holmes), weren’t fit to carry Froch’s jockstrap!
