Best right hand in the game.

Once in 1977 or so he came to box in Camaguey. My father, who worked in the local stadium at the time, managed to take me in front of this Giant. I was six or seven then and then I had this colossus standing before me and smiling. That was unbelievable his mighty right hand was greeting me. That reminiscence will never fade. Undoubtedly, Stevenson is a living legend!

He was defeated by Francesco Damiani in 1982.

Stevenson NEVER signed to fight Ali!!
He said himself that the love of millions of his compatriots meant more to him than millions of dollars. He'd have never defected to turn pro........ LEGEND!!!!

Stevenson could not have beat Ali, Ali is and will always be the best heavy weight to ever step inside a boxing square, the secretes of Cuban boxers are rithm, movement and speed, it happens that those are exactly what Ali was a super master of, the same happens in the case of Sugar Ray Leonard, that's why he beat Andress Aldama in the Olympics

That was something to be seen that never happened. So stop talking bullshit. Stevenson would have KO Ali in 3 rounds like he did to all those you see in this video. The man was at his best. Ali was just a young lad then.

Man Valery Abadzhan gave Stevenson a beating for three whole rounds back in the 80s, Stevenson only won because he got lucky and got him with a right hand to the fact just seconds before the end of the fight, Abadzhan could have never done that to Ali, even Stevenson himself knows that Ali was a boxer out of the ordinary

To be more specific that fight where Abadzhan gave him a beating for three whole rounds happened in Los juegos de la amistad en La habana 1984, I am sure Stevenson never forgot about that lucky win

Ali won the Light Heavy Olympic Gold in 1960!!
