    The Answer is very simple....Hopkins, Pascal and Cleverly.

    So, you're telling me that a 50-year old man, the blown up SMW, who lost to him twice and a GUY FONFARA BEAT are better than your EE buddy?

    Since Hopkins had just come off of beating Shumenov, Cloud and Murat who are all about the same level as Fonfara. YES.

    As far as the Fonfara-Cleverly match goes, have you actually seen the fight, its an incredibly close fight, and that was a shot past it version of Cleverly who has never been the same since he was beaten by Kovalev, yet Fonfara barely beat him.

    Fonfara landed 474 and Cleverly landed 462, that's ****ing close. That's a 12 punch difference in around 1000 punches landed.

    Who's the blown up SMW, do you mean Pascal who's been a Light Heavyweight for the last 7 years, who beat Dawson and was the lineal champion of the division and had 2 razor close matches with Hopkins?

    Without a doubt in my mind Hopkins would shut out Fonfara, Pascal maybe even now beats Fonfara and in a rematch if Cleverly focuses on Boxing instead of trying to out manly Fonfara he'd easily outbox him.

    Stevenson is still dangerous but time is definitely running out on him - I wouldn't say the Polish Prince should be favoured but I'd definitely give him a very good shot, at 28 he's probably reaching his peak and now carries a lot more big fight experience.

    I was pretty high on Stevenson back in 2013 when he broke out at LHW but ever since the first Kovalev debacle it's been pretty much all downhill, can't even understand it - the guy is 38 years old ffs I woulda thought he'd be at least wanting to put some decent $s in his account before retirement comes knocking.

    What's wrong with this rematch that some are against it? The first fight was awesome and although Fonfara lost most rounds he was competitive and finished strong. Certainly it's more warranted then Kov vs Pascal 2.

    Stevenson is just another old Cherry picker like many other current and past boxers.




    Just retire already

    Adonis doesn't want to go another 12 rounds with the Pole.:deal Fonfara has some chin on him which is comparable to the likes of a prime Margarito!:yep And Adonis also knows that Fonfara will be prepared and highly motivated to win more than ever!:yep

    The never was slur applies to Fonfara as well and at least Nathan didn't get KTFO by Derrick Findlay.:lol:
