Dereck Chisora vs Bermane Stiverne primes

This is actually a very good matchup. I never thought of this. I'd lean towards Stivern. He gets alot of flack for his two losses to Wilder. Stiverne in his prime was actually pretty good. He showed fast hands, a great chin(first to go 12 with Wilder) and power. Arreola still has Stiverne as the 2nd hardest hitter he faced behind Vitali if I'm not mistaken. People like to look past his prime years and underate him alot. I think he was the more skilled and better schooled fighter between him and Chisora and i'd take Stivern to win by UD or even possibly late stoppage.

 

Stiverne could actually bang. Chisora couldn't, really.

 

At the time when it could’ve happened, Stiverne definitely would’ve been favored.

 

Stiverne via UD or Late TKO.

 

Surpised everyone is picking Stiverne, it's not like he stopped an abundance of top heavyweights. I think Chisora is clearly more accomplished.

I think this could go either way.

 

Stiverne there are levels to this

Just joking. Stiverne would be the favorite but it would be a pickem type of fight.

 

I think I prefer Chisora. He's shown some real grit through his career whereas Stiverne peaked in getting a beating from Wilder.

 

Chisora never won no world title.

 

FTFY

 

The fight for that WBC belt was ridiculous lol. Stiverne vs Arreola, 2 heavyweight journeymen fighting for a vacant title.

 

You don’t understand what journeymen are.

 

After all of this time, the best win of his career is Malik Scott, granted he ran Helenius close, and he got sparked by Whyte and Haye. I’d back Stiverne. Arreola was every bit as good as Chisora when he fought Stivernex2 if not better.

 

Chisora was flat out robbed against Helenius. He probably deserved to beat Whyte the first time, and possibly Parker too.

And the Takam win was better than Scott.

 

That’s generous. He may have deserved the Helenius win, but Helenius didn’t live up to expectations after that and Chisora would never come as close to beating a top ten fighter in his career. He did not deserve wins over Whyte and Parker and Whyte is one of my least favorite fighters.

Takam was an old guy who was losing all of his fights against name fighters without really coming close to winning. Scott was undefeated and rarely lost a round at that point in his career. Scott was easily better than the shell of Takam.

Chisora was much closer to the level of Arreola than Stiverne. What Stiverne did to Arreola twice is something that Chisora never did to anyone of that caliber and never will. Losing gamely to this guy and that guy isn’t the same thing.
