    Stiverne in his PRIME was a legit top 10 HW.

    That prime is the better part of a decade ago.

    He hasn't won a fight since 2015.

    Hes coming off 2 KO losses.

    I know its not the real WBA title, but even so, is he the worst challenger ever?

    Even in his prime Stiverne was awful let alone now.

    Is Stiverne with Don King still? Bryan is, so that would explain why we are getting this farce.

    Siverne struggled big time with an old Ray Austin before he got his gift shot against Arreola (thanks Don King), who was nowhere near special either. Stiverne was merely serviceable in a bad heavyweight era.

    The answer is Johnny Davis

    Any one of those guys would beat Peter Okhello. But Okhello would beat Johnny Davis.

    I mean Primo Carnera was probably worse.

    Mike Tyson would have a shot at this comedy belt.

    Maybe not the worst in history but probably the laziest. There was a poster on here who was at the same gym Stiverne trained in for one of the Wilder fights and he said Stiverne would just sit down all day and have guys bring him food.

    The Charles Martin that Joshua beat would have knocked last nights Stiverne out in about 3 rounds.
