Two recent heavyweight champions of the world. Two patient counter punchers. Size vs chin. Who do you got?
Considering how bad Stiverne has looked in his recent fights, dominated by Wilder, dropped by Rossy, then you have to favour Martin. Stiverne definitely has a punchers chance but I have no belief in his dedication to get himself into decent shape. So many heavyweights these days throw away their careers due to lack of discipline.
Martin might actually look like a prime Larry Holmes in that fight, like shot Ray Austin until Stiverne finally caught up with him.
Stiverne can't fight against talller fighters see the Ray Austin fight until the old man ran out of gas. So Martin wins.
