Somebody just said Stiverne could compete with Povetkin and it would be 50/50. Can he be removed off the forum please
I actually think, even though Sasha's the better fighter overall, it was even more outrageous of him to say Stiverne would have beaten Pulev. Stiverne always struggled against tall jabbers, it's insane to think he could have competed against Pulev. Stylistically, I thought Stiverne Sasha was interesting and that prime Stiverne might have been a live underdog. Sasha is a bit like a higher level Arreola
Big low rate boxers are not a threat to Anthony Joshua, Wlad himself can't afford to fight a high rate, so how can Wlad expose Anthony Joshua weakness? Promoters have a way of matching their fighters with stylistically vulnerable fighters, the poison for Anthony Joshua is any high work rate durable heavyweight who can fight 12 rounds, even an Old Amir Mansour has a good chance of putting the first L on Anthony Joshua
Lol at all the Wilder fans making out Stiverne was a half decent heavyweight. He was KO’ed by a complete bum, and was being outboxed by a middle aged Ray Austin. Comedy gold.
Why we have to call fighters (who are top ranked) bums? Puritty had a lot of losses & still managed to stop Wlad, that doesn't make Wlad an Unworthy opponent!
Stiverne is really poor, and really over rated by some on here. He had no pedigree before taking Wilder 12 and losing and he has done nothing since in the ring. Then he fights the rematch and looks half asleep and gets stopped early. He looks like a fighter with serious substance abuse issues and not at all like a pro athlete.
King was not top ranked, he had far more losses than wins, and still KO’ed Stiverne, so yes a complete bum.
Yes, Wilder has only fought Winos from the alley...................Wilder has HAYMON BOXING INSURANCE!
Stiverne is average, and yes, he was outboxed by Austin for 9 rounds, but he wasn't KO'd by Demetrice King. It was one of the worst stoppages ever
Pulev, Povetkin, Joshua, Ortiz, Fury, Parker, Miller, Bellew, Takam, Haye could all have been 39-0 against those high guard bums he's been facing. I'd even back Whyte to do it, although the Stiverne, Duhaupas, Molina and Szpilka fights would be good, close matchups for him. Breazeale I think would maybe go 39-1 or 39-2, I fancy him losing to 1 or 2 of the 4 guys mentioned above. Even Charles Martin I think would scrape through against those, as much as Charles Martin is average, I still rate him despite his demolition by Joshua. It's easy to look good against people who stand in front of you, put a high guard up, and do absolutely nothing worthy of note the entire fight.
