    Apparently he's gonna be fighting Sean Monaghan in NYC in April 29.

    I can't remember the last time Adonis faced a mandatory. I think maybe Bellew back in 2013?

    I'm curious why this guy never gets his title stripped or faced a mandatory in a long time. This guy is worse than Wilder. Why hasn't the WBC been hard on this guy?

    He has a good case, but Canelo and Wilder are very close as well.

    He moved up in weight
    KO'd Dawson when he was the underdog.

    KO'd Bellew who just destroyed a top10 HW

    KO'd Karpency who dropped the highly acclaimed Grozvdyk

    KO'd Williams who obliterated one of Wards best wins

    Was ducked by Kovalev and Main events even though they forced the purse bid.

    He deserves an easy fight after this

    It's either Wilder or Stevenson, but at least people talk about Wilder on here. Stevenson has virtually no fan base.

    One of them I agree. Stevenson has been holding the lineal championship at 175 hostage for years now. I hope Smith Jr gets the fight beats him so we will have a champ who will take on all comers.

    I'd still have to give that title to Wilder. Stevenson has a better resume.

    Stevenson knocked Bellews bum ass out. Bellew can't beat Usyk or Gassiev. They are cashing him out. Their reasoning is that they have a chance to blow Joshua up and **** on Parker and Wilder lol...

    Sulaiman is a fatboy who takes it up the ass from Al Haymon.

    Without a doubt the most protected EVER!! was Floyd Joy Sinclair Mayweather jr
    He had the State Commission, USADA & Vegas boxing & their officials ALL making sure he kept that bogus 0. They used every means both legal & illegal to protect their Vegas cash cow. He was given carte blanche to make up his own rules. Ne basically COULD NOT LOSE !!!!

    I know you never miss a chance to go on a rant against Mayweather but this thread is not about Mayweather, who has retired.
