    I think he'd be dangerous to anyone under 6'4" - esp if carrying a gammy leg and glass whiskers.

    Aged 40 and has fought twice in 2 years, against less than stellar opposition.

    Any other governing body would have stripped him by now.

    He wont be moving up to HW. He struggles to turn out once a year.

    If he was going to move up he should have done it 3-4 years ago.

    Stevenson has no chance against Kovalev, Bivol, Gvozdyk, Beterbiev........................much less against a top heavyweight! Shame on the WBC for allowing him to avoid defending his title against a real mandatory..............

    I'd pick the current Stevenson to snatch a belt from someone like Charr and then defend it successfully against guys like Szpilka, Martin, Chisora, Molina etc.

    Adonis would still **** Bellew up at any weight. Haye landed a massive right hand on Bellew, spinning his jaw but Haye’s power has gone now. Adonis still has his.
