Seriously? I thought he was the better known fighter here (if only for his infamous second loss).
Back when first coming through the prospect ranks he was considered a pretty heavy-handed and dangerous guy - so when he and Andre Dirrell met up on HBO in 2007, and some favored Curtis by KO - Andre put on one of the most pitifully negative performances of all time (topping most "Worst fight of the year" lists) in eking out a safety-first points decision, and also winning himself legions of anti-fans, creating a stigma as a runner that he's had to struggle to shake off ever since.
Brinkley can probably outbox him but the question is for how long. If Stevens loads up and lands one of his hooks it'll most likely be Goodnight, Irene.
