    Seamus, take a look at Stiverne for Christ sakes. What on earth did he offer?

    You are going to knock Bear and not address that?

    Sorry I never saw your reply.

    It's a mystery to me how he was the mandatory? F*cking disgrace he was.

    Hey, Lamar Clark built his legend on wins like this.

    I enjoy agreeing with you for once.

    I've read many posts on here questioning Louis punching power in comparison to that of more modern day heavies.

    I know Buddy Baer was no 1997 Lennox Lewis (or was he???) but neither are the majority of guys the larger, modern SHW's KO either and Buddy Baer is arguably, at the very least, equal in skill and size to the run of the mill AJ or Wilder victim.

    Me neither. But Louis pulling a counter right that plants Wilder wouldn't surprise me either.

    Yeah, not the best showing.
    Didn't help that Wilder was in full on gladiator kill mode.

    Looking at the tub opposite I'd be surprised if he wasn't!
    WTF did Stiverne ever beat?
