    i am not talking about stevenson here but his worthy oppentent petr zaev....

    always one of the top fighters in cccp...from i know he fought both as a heavy and light heavy....


    with the right training as a pro...how would he do in the pro game...seems to give stevenson alot of problems...almost winning...

    I think the success of the current crop of East European heavyweights shows that a lot of these guys from the Cold War period could have had good pro careers.
