    Who would win in a battle between the Nail vs Superman? The highly regarded prospect in Oleksandr Gvozdyk or the champion Adonis Stevenson. Does the Nail have enough weapons in his arsenal to dethrone the champ?

    Adonis is a damn good fighter, but the lack of any good opponent in last years and the age would be a decissive factor.
    Gvozdyk himself is younger, has faced better opposition than the champion and was very impressive in his last fights.
    Gvozdyk via big KO

    Definitely, and unlike in the Karpency match, Gvozdyk will go in assuming Stevenson can hurt him, and fight cautiously like he did with Chilemba and slowly break him down. Oleksandr has more weapons in his arsenal than that one trick pony and has the skillset to neutralize that left of his. Same applies to Stevenson, he'll be afraid of what's coming back at him and not over commit, which will play into The Nail's hands. Gvozdyk wins by midround KO. Or possibly plays it safe and UD's him.

    I think the nail beats him. From his last fight I saw he looked as good as anyone in the division.

    Agreed.

    I am really impressed with The Nail from what I have seen so far, I think he is much more refined than Beterbiev.

    Gvozdyk stoppage in around 6 -9.

    Stevenson has a punchers chance and may have sporadic early success but his time has passed.

    Plus Gvozdyk is just the better fighter I believe.

    A man with a top end jab Vs a man with no jab? The nail crucifies him

    Also I have to go with The Nail simply for having the 2nd best nickname in boxing.

    Gvozdyk would nail Superman's ass hard.

    Plus the Nail has a good workrate and very active jab.
