Hes fighting inferior fighters agreed, but he is a serious assignment for Ward and Kov, very serious.
At 39, he is a threat to anyone in the division. Look at his resume from Boone rematch onwards, despite him being a paper champion, they're reasonable names. I want him to be retired by Kovalev/Beterbiev/Gvozdyk as much as the next guy. His next fight is with Eleider Alvarez. I am disgusted that the Eleider-Pascal winner is scheduled to fight Stevenson. Stevenson is not the Lineal champion, I don't care what anyone says. He's not the champ. He's a cereal box belt holder.
adonis vs alvarez make it right now. ward vs kovalev are gunna get caught up in a trilogy he missed out on that.
Agreed. Joe Smith Jr. has a much better chance of upsetting Adonis than Alvarez does. Smith Jr. would've finished that version of Pascal.
Jack, Beterbiev, The Nail, Alvarez, Smith Jr would all be acceptable fights too. There is a breadth of talent in the LHW division, it will take some real effort not to make a good fight next for Stevenson.
