    problem is Wilder cant fight
    has never been in a fight
    has never knocked out anything other than corpses
    and will get KO'd by the first punch that lands

    MVC not participating in this ban bet clearly shows how really confident he is about Wilder winning tonight.

    He's light because his legs are so skinny.

    He needs to put some muscle on his legs to give himself a stronger base.

    Tyson fury has the same issue.

    It affects punch resistance and balance and can really be a downfall for a fighter especially at heavyweight.

    I was surprised he came in so light, it's the lightest he's been for years, which makes me wonder if he's going to surprise us and try and run and box to a decision to protect that chin. He's been massively protected up to this point, he may realise he's now in with a genuine fighter and his best bet is to not and just go in there and bomb Stiverne out.

    He's never been the biggest guy or at the weight you would expect from a modern super heavy. He's just tall and lanky like Ernie Terrell. He clearly has never had the weight and mass of a Wlad, Vitali or Lewis so coming in so light isn't a huge issue unless it becomes a physical inside fight, which seems unlikely.

    A monumental flop-so much for Don King's promotional abilities and the fans fascination with Wilder.
    Showtimes hustle job to annoint a new great American heavyweight falls on deaf ears.We all know Wilder is suspect in many areas.

    It is an issue.Stiverne will be the sronger man tonight.

    Also Lewis and Wlad put on a lot of mass since their earlier career.

    I have no doubt Wilder will go for the KO.I believe Stiverne survives the onslaught and will then punish Wilder.

    Wilder seems too light and hyped up or this.The occasion may have gotten to him

    I don't think coming so light will alter his chances too much. He's weighted between 223-225 for 6 of his last 7 fights so he's only about 5-6lbs lighter than usual. He's always had the height of a modern day super heavy but never the mass.

    Whether he's 219 or 229 it won't change the fact he's making a huge jump up in class against a genuine puncher. We'll find out soon if he's the real deal or another hype job.

    By legit I mean world ranked, has beaten other ranked opponents and isn't coming to fall over as soon as he gets hit.

    He's coming to win and whilst not the best certainly isn't the worst. He's a decent contender by the standards of the the current era.
