Would Martin not be a step up for Wilder? I never rated Stiverne, overhyped, lazy and against Wilder, fairly ill.
Browne actually reminds me of Foreman in size and style. He's certainly better than Briggs or Martin at this time.
Browne went life and death with a very old, slow and past-prime Chagaev. I'm not disrespecting Browne here, he won the fight through determination and grit, wonderful brawl! But let's not get carried away: Fat Chagaev dropped Browne and had him at the brink of a stoppage loss. Wilder or Haye would easily win against him.
No way they easily beat him, especially not Wilder. He's struggled vs 4 lesser fighters than Chag recently.
Haye is a belt stalker. Its not the proper way to earn your shots. But this is modern day Boxing and anything goes. The deserved dont get **** anymore, its about mouths and money. If Frampton can ignore Rigo, If BJS can ignore GGG, if Canelo can take the micky out of a whole division, if Fury can get his belt taken off him before he has even had chance to put it round his waist, If Mayweather can wait 7 years until Pacquiao doesnt look like half the fighter he was, if all that shiyte, and much more can go on in this wonderful sport.......... Then i have no hate for somebody stalking belts. Before he retired he did stalk the belts and ended up stalking the very best in Vlad.
Martin & his team were the only ones who approached Joshua & Hearn not the other way round. They did this because they know it would be their biggest payday ever. If Browne takes the fight with Haye then he's doing it for the same reason Martin took the fight with Joshua. Haye & Joshua are ppv stars, Martin & Browne are not even close to being a star, all they have is two meaningless belts.
