http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki1GIYlL7TY 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.
