Bellew-Stevenson is a great match-up, even if it don't last long.
Don't forget that Donovan George went many rounds with Stevenson. Donovan George is a good boxer, but he is not at the elite level. I would probably rate Bellew higher than George. So, I wouldn't count out Bellew because of Stevenson's one punch knockout of Chad Dawson. I like the match up actually.
I thought Donavon George was the guy who pummelled old Chris Byrd, but apparently not heh. Was Stevenson actually hit cleanly in that fight much etc? It is hard to look past getting KO'ed by Darnell Boone for me, I expect Adonis to be a kill or be killed type guy.
If he does hold up for a while he could probably look forward to a big Montreal showdown with Pascal or even Bute if he shows some good form again, those would make a lot of sense. Tavoris Cloud vs Stevenson would likely be a good scrap as well, if Cloud has a shot at beating a world champion it's probably him.
Don't forget that Darnell Boone also put Andre Ward on the canvas in his only time on the canvas in his professional career. Boone has some craftiness for a journeyman.

From what I gather, Stevenson was rocked multiple times by George, although he put George onto the mat a ridiculous number of times himself, like 5 or something.
