    Where does Stiverne stand in the HW division currently?

    Who do you think he could beat?

    Stiverne's resume:
    Arreola

    I have never seen a title fight between two less proven fighters for a belt than Stiverne vs Wilder. How the F that was for a title belt I don't know.

    With the current state of the division...yes probably *shivers*

    ugly ass division. We need some of them cuban heavyweights to enter the pro scene.

    I think tall guys like Fury would probably school Stiverne but he would make for good fights against shorter and average height heavyweights

    Stiverne vs Takam would be a great fight imo

    Takam takes a very wide decision. I'd be surprised if Stiverne won more than 2 rounds.

    I'd favor Takam but Stiverne can crack and Povetkin got Takam out of there so its very possible that Stiverne could counter and KO Takam imo

    He never was. Just like K9 Bundrage holds a world title belt yet isn't a top-10 junior middle.

    His resume is thin with only Arreola, who was never a top 20 heavy anyway.

    But he does have genuine power and some skills as long as you go to him, he's effective. I'd say he's definitely top 20 but if he's top 10 he's only just. He needs to prove that he can do more than beat Arreola and prove he can be more professional because his preparation for Wilder was quite frankly idiotic.

    Dude was getting outboxed by Arreola prior to the knockdowns in both fights.... I'm unsure of him being a top 15-20 HW h2h. His power might bail him out of some bad situations, but I could easily see him losing to some unheralded fighters who he couldn't bomb out.
