**** no, Stevenson would get beaten soundly by Ward, usual wide points, sparked by Kovalev, stopped by Froch and even schooled by an old man pushing 50. Stevenson has power and is a good boxer but his punch resistance is suspect, but looking at who else is around the same table at 175 or potentially at 175, he gets beaten at 175, may be not by many, but he does get beaten.
Ask any Québécois to speak to Max Kellerman and they be stuttering and twitching. Deal with it, he's fukkin French. :deal Stopped by Froch? Stevenson's handspeed and head movement are a nightmare for slo-mo Carl.
Watched Stevenson and I disagree. A jab beats him, something his last opponent also lacked. Andre Ward would beat him, no question in my mind. Ward has a great jab and would cause Stevenson serious problems. Stevenson's lack of a jab will come back to haunt him. Mark my words.
Kovalev would knock Stevenson out and kill Ward...........Ward shakes whenever anyone mentions either fighter..............
