    Stevenson got battered from pillar to post in the badou jack fight. He should have retired before even facing gvodsyk

    Boxers from the Red white and blue are overrated.

    Adonis was about as well preserved a 41 y/o as you will come across and he beat Jack IMO and the opinion of many others (opinion was split right down the middle IIRC)

    Jack IS at worst the second best opponent Adonis had ever fought (Jack's a damned good fighter) and was riding a back-to-back win streak over Cleverly, Degale (bogus draw), Bute, Groves, and Dirrell. And Adonis had only fought 6 rounds in 3 years going into the Jack fight whereas he got a good 12 rounds in against him.

    And Jack was terrified of Adonis' power and not without good reason

    Interesting to juxtapose the completely contrasting but ever so predictable perceptions held by many regarding the decline of a 41 y/o Adonis and a 41 y/o Wlad

    Adonis 41 y/o
    Turned pro age 29 (extremely late)
    11 year pro career
    38 fights as an amateur
    31 fights as a pro
    So that's only 69 fights in total and he fought poor opposition for the most part and had hardly been involved in any wars

    Wlad
    41 y/o
    Turned pro aged 20
    140 amateur fights
    68 pro fights ie. one less than Adonis' entire career amateur and pro
    So that's 208 in total and he had been boxing as a pro for over 20 years, hadn't fought for 1.5 years going into the AJ fight, and he'd fought way better competition than Adonis

    There is zero doubt who had more miles on the clock here (way more) and despite all of that Wlad, as with Adonis, was still as dangerous as **** and could punch holes in castle walls but I seem to recall many claim Wlad was not only still in his prime when he fought AJ but it was actually the best version of him and I can assure you I'm not exaggerating about this. CNN level brainwashing :facepalm:

    What was Serge saying about certain types of fighter being immune to the ageing process? :facepalm:

    So tired of this weight bully nonsense. All fighters are subject to the same weigh in rules period. You make the weight or you don't.

    Fake news, he's not a weight bully , he walks around at about 15 lb above his fighting weight which for light heavyweight is nothing. Unlike ppl like Crawford or Lopez who walk around at 30/40 lb above their actual fighting weight LOL.. weight bullying is a US centric thing & not really typical of Eastern European fighters. So stop talking **** bellend.

    I don't think Beterbiev was heavier than his past opponents.
