Most saw him move up the P4P rankings after beating Teofimo Lopez.
It was a masterclass boxing performance last weekend. One of the great pure boxing wins of these times.
Busting up and toying with at will former champion Teofimo Lopez.
Speaking on the Cigar Talk podcast Stevenson said:
“To go beat Teo the way that I did—with Teo being a 28-year-old fighter in his prime, who just dominated a guy like Arnold Barboza and made him look like a fool—and then I make him look even worse than Barboza looked against him? That’s true. For me, I’m up there. I’m up there. Like you say, top three. That’s for me. But I always know it’s a list that can be played with. Guys can say anybody at this given point. But my numbers are doing great. I’ve proven I’m one of the best fighters on the planet Earth. And if we’re talking about the art of boxing—because when you look up the art of boxing, it is hit and don’t get hit—I am number one. To me, the best fighter on the planet. The only other fighter I see in boxing right now that I think can be on my level is Usyk. And that’s at the art of hitting and not getting hit at the same time. Boxing.”
Most would certainly have Stevenson in the top 10 P4P at this point.
He’s a four-weight world champion already and undefeated and has beaten some quality fighters thus far.
Lopez this biggest name on the resume so far by far.
The Lamont Roach, Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis fights all remain big fights for him.
