Now he’s running his own Twitter account he’s probably still trying to spell it.

Stiverne? I don't recall him fighting Ruiz and just checked on Boxrec and don't see it, did he spar with Ruiz? Andy/John for 10 rounds?

No. He’s just combining two different fighters together to reinforce his narrative.

"I don’t care about the amateur records of fighters or when they turned pro"

Lomachenko fought for a world title in his second pro fight but he was 26 years old, had been boxing since he was 4 years old and had 397 amateur bouts, with 2 Olympic gold medals. If you don't think that factors like age and boxing experience are important in determining how quickly a fighter should be moved in the pros then you are disconnected from reality.

"The fact is over 3/4 of wilders opponents were pub level fighters"

If you you're a former world champion who can go 10 rounds with Ruiz and 6 rounds with Joyce, you're not "pub level", even if Wilder smokes you in 1. A big guy from the pub wouldn't last a round with Joyce or Ruiz, probably not more than a minute.

"I would fancy many other heavyweights to have a similar record of KO"

Reality again defies your expectations. Look at Andy Ruiz's 29 opponents pre-Parker: no better than Wilder's and several mutual opponents. Ruiz started boxing as a kid and had 100+ amateur bouts, yet his KO record is pathetic by comparison. And stylistically, Ruiz is more aggressive than Wilder, so it should be easier (other things being equal) for him to get KO's. If it were easy, you would see a lot more prospects with insane KO streaks and a ridiculous proportion of 1st round KO's against lower level opposition.

Manny Steward said that Wilder was the most talented prospect after Fury in June 2012, when he was still fighting club, regional and at best domestic level fighters. Steward had the advantage in seeing Wilder in training camps and sparring but he also saw in fights that when Wilder was hitting this level of opposition, he was having a very different effect than when other heavyweight prospects were hitting them.
