    Good post.

    I like Edwin's s****py mentality.

    On an unrelated note, you (or anyone here) remember his medicore stinker with Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna before bombing Grachev out in one round?

    His s**** with Azea Augustama on a deep undercard was underwhelming as well. Edwin's something of an enigma when I think about the differences in his performances even in back to back fights. :think

    Yeah I do, I wrote about how frustratingly erratic and enigmatic he can be when I did my Educate Yourselves thread on him a few months back.

    Except Stevenson does not have a network... so that should not of been an impediment.

    Neither did Kovalev when the purse bid was ordered, until of course he decided to make it an impediment.

    I like erod vs supergirl too.
    But how would those ****s rod walked in to "ko'd anyone" when rod wasn't ko'd.

    Your love affair with certain fighters is amazing. Just wondering why you only hate on the elite while pumping and praising B to C level fighters ? Erod is proven more to you because he almost got tko'd by a C level fighter ?

    Who cares? Can we just forget about him, he is the definition of a paper champion.

    Stevenson and Rodriguez fought each others in the amateurs. Twice in fact. It was a USA vs Canada duel and Stevenson won both on points, flooring Rodriguez in both contests IIRC.

    2005-05-06 75kg Adonis Stevenson CAN Edwin Rodriguez USA 36:18

    2005-05-08 75kg Adonis Stevenson CAN Edwin Rodriguez USA 24:16

    I've got a sneaky feeling someone's about to feel the full force of the dark side of the ban hammer :lol:

    It's not just Stevenson is fighting boxers who aren't even considered top ten lightheavyweights its also that he seems fine fighting just 2 times a year against lower rated competition.

    Rodriguez, if he beats Williams, is actually a solid fighter and the best guy he would have faced since Fonfara. He can be inconsistent but I wouldn't count him out against Stevenson.

    Williams is on par with Stevenson's recent opposition and if he upset Rodriguez he'd be another wasted defense by Stevenson. I'm hoping Rodriguez beats Williams.

    Stevenson went from having a fighter of the year type of year in 2013, Dawson was the champ and Cloud and Bellew were in the top 10 and Stevnson stopped all of them, to being almost irrelevant.

    With Adonis purse there is only $100K left for an opponent. That's why it takes so long to find people.

    Yeah and if he returns to action for anything short of Hopkins (been ducking for years), Kovalev (been ducking for years) or Fonfara II, my interest level is nil.

    I meant most fighters would have been KO'd by shots like that, and he wasn't, as in his chin is capable of taking Stevenson's bombs, especially since the trajectory will probably be a little more beneficial for E-Rod than Seals shots were.

    E-Rod is more proven to me because he has one of the more impressive resumes of anyone Stevenson has faced, not to mention the skills to compete with Stevenson and the chin, losing to Ward is nothing to be ashamed of, Stevenson probably would too. Almost being KO'd by a C-level fighter has nothing to do with it.
