Probably because of this: From Wikipedia... From PhilBoxing... There are rumours of sexually assaulting minors, but he's never been convicted of that crime, so a lot of the anger is based on received wisdom.
Always found it kind of strange how rappers etc would talk about themselves as pimps. If you guys are going to get on Stephensons back for past mistakes shouldnt you do the same for other fighters who have shady pasts?
It's because hes black and Froch is white. Just like when Khan when he gets in trouble, this forum is one big walking contradiction with a huge slight of racism. When they see Adonis they see a BLACK pimp not a pimp, so it double fuels their hatred, how dare a black man sleep and slap white women only white men can do this hang him!:tired:tired:tired
Not hate for Stevenson, but he isn't who Carl should be fighting now that's Kessler. Stevenson doesn't really posses anything which will challenge Carl, I know he is ranked highly but in all honesty that ranking flatters him and he hasn't beaten anyone in top 15 in world
He is one behind Kessler in what exactly? He is the next best, but Matchroom should really be getting the best fighter over for Froch, if they got Kessler over it would do huge number and would defiantly be PPV IMO which brings in even more money for Matchroom. It is pretty illogical not to make the fight in all honesty even if they do slightly have to overpay Kessler for the privilege. As for Stevenson he doesn't have explosive power lets not go over the top here, he has good power no doubt but that is against average fighters in all honesty and he hasn't showed the power against a world level operator. He is also chinny and doesn't take a punch well in all honesty. He isn't great on the defensive either and Carl would find him very easy to hit all night.
I've been saying this to anyone who will listen.. Hearn will turn Froch in to a joke. He will milk him in Nottingham against utter bums. Expect Froch to never fight Kessler.
Even of Eddie wanted that, he doesn't, Froch wouldn't allow it. He wants the Kessler fight, it's clear to anyone who knows Anything about boxing they want the Kessler fight. Stevenson is the mandatory. Whilst it would be dissapointing to postpone that fight this isn't a joke it would be good stay busy defence
It's disappointing the IBF wouldn't allow Froch and Kessler to unify, but this is an alright replacement. I just hope Froch/Kessler is next after this.
why bring up this guys past, why go down that alley. If he's repented for his sins isn't he entitled to forgiveness ??
What did Stevenson do..? I read abit about him on the general forum, but i could understand half of the ******s their.
