    It’s career defining fight win or lose shouldn’t have been against Andre Ward.. Kovalev vs Stevenson for the Undisputed LHW championship should have crowned the king of 175 in 2010s decade.. Two power punchers/KO artist should have defined that era but instead Kovalev vs Ward will.. I was a huge Stevenson fan but I considered this fight not happening much worse than Calzaghe vs Ottke since the 2000s..

    Celestino Caballero actually was a P4P fighter right before his decline, spearheaded by an upset loss to Jason Litzau

    Alcoholism is the key,,,did anyone think that Gerry Cooney would be knocked out by Mike Spinks a few years after he nearly killed Ken Norton

    alcohol weakens the body and plays havoc with the hormonal system

    I hadn't watched him fight for a while but I was surprised in the canelo fight. Everyones prime is different I guess
