Stiverne is now Vitali's mandatory for the WBC world championship

I actually rate Valuev above most of the guys The Klits have fought and Ruiz too.

I'd be intrigued to see what the K's would have done vs a guy bigger than them, considering they use size to their advantage a lot.

Ruiz - Well past his best obviously but still better that Arreola, Gomez and Solis IMO.

Harrison was a pile of **** money fight without a doubt but had to be done to satisfy some of the casual fight fans in Britain.

Don't get me wrong, the Klits would have beaten all of them.

 

Stivern ****ing sucks, typical VItali opponent though, I expect this fight to made directly after Vitali destroys Adameks overated ass. Vitali the all time great corpse beater

 

Typical? No.

I'm not the biggest admirer of VK's resume since his return, but this would be BY FAR his worst challenger despite the pretty record.

 

I'm sorry but with you being British the Haye hype has blinded you. There is no way in hell that a totally shot Ruiz taking his last Don king pay day is better than wins over the undefeated Arreola and Solis as well as beating Gomez the former CW king coming of a few wins over McCall, Baktov and Vyrchys. Reading your posts I can only assume that you don't watch fighters/or fights that are outside of Britain or America.

 

Weird that the WBC would run this as their eliminator. I don't get it.

WBC rankings were:

1 Tomasz Adamek (Poland)
2 Chris Arreola (US) FECOMBOX
3 Denis Boytsov (Russia)
4 Ray Austin (US)
5 Alexander Dimitrenko (Germany) EBU
6 Johnathon Banks (US) NABF
7 Bermane Stiverne (Canada) INTL / USNBC
8 Juan Carlos Gomez (Cuba)
9 Chauncy Welliver (US) AMERICA
10 Alexander Povetkin (Russia)

They let #4 box #7 for the mandatory spot? This is unheard of.

 

I can agree with this. Stiverne is a difficult watch, I repeatedly thought to myself how is this on HBO. But big Al would be ready to mix it up and I think that's when he does get caught big time.

 

Reading yours I can only assume you are an arrogant ****.

 

I must have missed the press release labeling this as an eliminator to be Vitali's mandatory.

More likely, Stiverne is now one of several guys in line for a soon-to-be-vacant belt.

Maybe Vitali should stick around so we don't get Stiverne-Arreola as a title fight.

I doubt Stiverne will be ranked above Adamek or Arreola in the new WBC ratings.

 

The HBO team said it was during the broadcast.

Also, they presented Stiverne with the WBC Silver championship...which is basically their interim championship. So yeah, Stiverne is now directly in line for the Klitschko-Adamek winner.

 

So you rank the undefeated former amatuer superstar as a 5/10. You clearly don't understand this sport.

No **** this, clearly you don't follow the sport at all, possibly you tune in for the odd Ricky Hatton fight while growing up. 5/10 for Gomez? you do realize this is the same 10 time CW World champion don't you? The same Gomez that earned his title shot by crushing the rest of the contenders. [/QUOTE]

Now hold on just a minute, this prime version of Peter that had just beaten Toney twice ( detroying him one of those times ) put Maskaev to the sword as well as McCline in his previous 4 fights is now an also ran? Please...people like you bring shame unto the sweet science.

Yes I think it is clear what type of boxing 'fan' you are. Clearly you are the type of chap that started to follow boxing after the hype Haye got following his close fought 'battle' with a circus freak after The Sun hyped that shitfest to the hilt. I wonder how you rate Haye now? What is it, 10/10 something like that? Pathetic.

Neverchair, I suggest you actually try watching fighters outside of Britain.

 

nah its rather like a proper intercontinental belt.. fighters pay the fees and get a decent ranking
Sulaiman said its basically made to honor b level fighters and mexican hypejobs so that they get some attention..
Rubio vs Lemieux was advertised as a final eliminator but later it turned out it was never sanctioned..

 

Lol!

Im glad ive pissed you off sufficiently that you have wasted time on me writing that drivel.

You know **** all son. Go back to attempting forward rolls round the living room, trying in vain to suck yourself off.

 

Vitali harpoons the whale inside 6

 

Vitali does not have to go though mandatory defense until fall of 2012.

 

Plenty of time for Stiverne to get badly exposed first.
