Bermane Stiverne vs. Deontay Wilder speculation & discussion

wilder beating stiverne proves nothing stiverne is just a lesser bum then wilder no big feat

 

Neither was Berbick but he was good enough for people to stop ignoring Tysons legitimacy.

 

Stiverne isnt bad, but he aint great. Wilder Early KO

 

if wilder was fighting povetkin then i would take notice povetikin would take his head of no doubt FACT!

 

If Wilder legit sparks Stiverne, he will be the number 2 hw imo

 

No, it'l prove hes a decent fighter and his power is real against serious fighters but stiverne isn't a world beater

 

more likely to be exciting than to last very long.

there is a chance for wilder to send a right over stivernes lazy shiit jab but I'm picking stiverne(not betting on it tho)

 

I happen to agree:good

 

Tyson's opposition on the way up are a bunch of world beaters compared to the "competition" Wilder has faced. Less than two years into his career, he was fighting for a belt. And he fought decent journeymen like James Tillis, Mitch Green, Jesse Ferguson, and Jose Ribalta prior to facing Berbick. Wilder's been a pro for over five years, and hasn't faced anybody close to that level.

Wilder's not going to win unless the fix is in for him to win. He's THAT bad. You don't fight stiffs like he has for over five years for no reason. His boxing ability is very limited, and his chin is pure china. Oh, and his supposed "power" is an illusion created by facing tomato cans who were totally overmatched. And even some of those guys had this FRAUD on the canvas.

 

I don't believe it will be long but a mid round ko for the more battle tested Stiverne. Wilder is big and can punch but I haven't seen much else from him especially opposition.

 

No i would take it for what it is. a legitimate victory against a legitimate opponant. Definatly a step up from his previous opposition but not a good enough quality one to prove that Wilder can mix it at the top.

 

Both guys have weak chins, both guys have big power. First to land wins.

 

Don't think so, unless it actually looks like a fluke.
But what people will call upon is that Stiverne's claim to fame is KO-ing a shot to sh¡t Ray Austin after making the man look like Larry frickin' Holmes for long stretches of the fight, and beating Arreola twice... wich is not really something to wow boxfans with.

It would legitimize Wilder in such a way that he would be a real contender - probably top5 - and make a nice opponent for Wladschko.

 

Stiverne is definitely a level or 2 better than Berbick, but unlike Berbick, he doesnt have any sense of urgency in his work, and I could see Wilder jumping right on him and getting a ref stoppage while BS lays against the ropes looking for a counter he can't reach.:think

 

^When did Stiverne show a weak chin ??
