Chagaev win is better than any of Wilders wins. Big Daddy Browne is now higher in rankings than Wilder.
Not true. Stiverne is better than Chagaev. Chagaev is very faded he had not beaten a top 30 heavyweight in about 7 years.
I'm all for seeing Wilder taken down a peg or two, but on what planet is a washed up Chagaev better than Stiverne?
Who has Stiverne ever beat? Last I heard of Stiverne, he was heavily floored and won a controversial decision against Derrick Rossey.
Not by my rankings he isn't. Wilders is a legitimate title holder. Browne just won a belt you would find inside a Kinder Egg.
Stiverne is one of the Worst title holders ever. Chagaev has beat the legandary Felix Savon twice. Chagaev beat the largest HW champion ever to get his belt. Stiverne had the belt handed to him and he never defended it one time. And Stiverne has never beat a World class operator once.
Stiverne certainly isn't better than Chagaev, however Wilder looked way better wining his belt than Browne did
Stiverne would have knocked out Chageav in the same manner Browne did. And Browne would have suffered the same fate as Ray Austin if he fought Bermane. Some guys are just brutes against stationary punch bags.
