Nah, you deflected.. My initial post was that Stevenson tried to fight all those you just named... Everyone here is aware of their resumes so you're not saying much to refute my post
Never in boxing has a title holder gone 0-4 with the top fighters and not faced ONE at the time. He has not faced in the last 5 years
Kovalev
Ward
Pascal
Beterbiev
Hopkins
Joe Smith Jr.
Bute (a shyt fight but I could have lived with it)
Cleverly
Alvarez
Gonzalez
Every fight since his nice run of Dawson/Cloud/Bellew has been trash.....Being a fan is one thing....rewriting history is other. Ward himself told Adonis
Andre Ward: Stevenson Had Opportunities To Fight - Why Now?
By Carlos Boogs, Ryan Burton
WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson (28-1, 23KOs) has already issued a direct challenge to newly crowned IBF/WBO/WBA light heavyweight champion Andre Ward (31-0, 15KOs) to face him in a unification showdown for all the marbles.
Ward captured the world titles this past Saturday night with a razor close twelve round unanimous decision over Kovalev (30-1-1, 26KOs) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Stevenson is due to return in the first quarter of 2017 with a mandatory defense against Eleider Alvarez (20-0), who takes a tuneup fight next month.
As the lineal world champion of the division, Stevenson believes the Kovalev-Ward winner will be forced to go through him to rule the division.
"The winner has to fight the lineal and WBC champion. I'm the king and I am the lineal champion. It's like that. I am the king and if you can beat the king then you are the king," Stevenson remarked to BoxingScene.com a day before the fight.
After Ward's win, Stevenson congratulated him on the victory and challenged him to a unification.
Even if he wanted to face Stevenson next, Ward has an obligation of his own to deal with. Kovalev has a contractual clause to exercise his right to an immediate rematch. He already made it clear that he plans to do so.
Rematch aside, Ward is not very interested in Stevenson's banter. Ward believes Stevenson has had numerous opportunities to fight the top guys in his division, like Kovalev and others, and instead he decided to defend his title against overmatched opponents.
"I can't call it [if that fight will happen]. It's not even about Adonis right now. Adonis has had so many opportunities to step up and fight [the top guys]. And it's funny that all of a sudden he's calling out the winner of this fight. Honestly, I'm not even interested in talking about Adonis," Ward said.
"He's had opportunities to fight [the top guys at 175] Why now [does he want them]?
