    I can't think of a more coveted crown in all of sports than the WBC Silver Heavyweight Title. Six guys have had the privilege of holding this highest of honors- Bermane Stiverne, Carlos Takam, Alexander Povetkin, Johann Duhaupus, Dillian Whyte, Daniel Dubois. Who's the stand-out to this group of future first-ballot hall of famers?

    I'm going with Duhaupus, who's proven he can take a punch better than he can deliver one.

    Povetkin ... who most likely would have beat Wilder convincingly if that fight had gone ahead.

    Who also delivered Duhaupus a punch he couldn't take, when he filled in for Wilder.

    Yes, Povetkin by a stretch unless Dubois goes on a tear which is very unlikely.

    I was definitely being sarcastic. Ha. There are way too many belts in boxing.

    Interesting thread.
    Some good HWs
    I could make an argument for several of them
    Are you asking the question based on their whole careers to date or just their WBC silver reign?
    I could make an argument for
    Povetkin
    Whyte
    Dubois

    Overall career I would think
    Povetkin at this time

    As WBC silver champion I would pick Whyte with wins over
    Parker
    Undefeated Browne
    Helenius
    Chisora


    Good thread
    Let me know though if you meant their whole careers to date or just their WBC silver reign?
