    I feel like Stevenson snipers him, but if he can’t land the punches to deter Johnson, I can see how he could get outworked as Stevenson didn’t have the greatest workrate and relied on keeping guys honest so he could work at a low pace.

    Johnson wins a UD over him. Tough fight for Johnson as Stevenson is big & strong but Marvin knew how to handle fighters like that.

    I don’t know. Adonis Stevenson was already old by the time he primed out and shined for a very short time. He was however admittedly dangerous and sharp for that brief period. Marvin Johnson was much younger during the best years of his career and had more longevity on the world scene. BUT had a very shaky chin and defense. Smart money would probably be on Johnson but this could go to anybody I think
