Does anyone know if Bermane Stiverne is planning a comeback? Only asking because I noticed Fedosov coming back to fight after quite a long period of inactivity himself.
Seems like a proper send-off opponent for Povetkin to beat on. I kinda like the above shout out of David Price. Also wouldn't mind seeing him battle with Charles Martin.
Isn’t arreola coming back aswell? I reckon we’ll see either stiverne or Chris fighting kownacki in 2019
He looked awful in that pic he must be 270lbs at least, if he's coming back he'll be targeted by every prospect looking to pad their record because he's done at the top level.
Was he really ever top level? His 2 biggest wins are past it Arreola and even further past it Arreola and had struggled against gatekeepers. For me he's one of the weaker WBC beltholders ever.
Don't think he was ever really at the very top, but he wasn't a pretender either. He did beat Arreola and Arreola was a solid gate keeper type fighter you had to be legit to beat him. So while I don't think he was ever really top 5 he was at one point top 10, but after he won the title he just lost what little desire he had. That sometimes happens to athletes they reach the pinnacle and then they lose focus as the one thing they were working towards is no longer there to motivate them. Happened to Tyson Fury too after he beat Wlad, same with Bowe. By the time he fought Wilder he was already mentally gone. Rumour was at the time he came in very over weight for camp, which explains why he ended up with Rhabdo as he over did it trying to get his weight down.
