Did Stiverne prove to you that he is a heavyweight champion

The Vitali fight was called off by the corner due to accumulated punishment but Vitali didn't create the same sort of conclusive ending that Stiverne did in the 6th round by separating Arreola from his senses. I don't think Vitali even put Arreola down once. To the layman it appears as if Arreola was having some success but that was Stiverne's strategy since round 1. He wanted to counterpunch Arreola with a well-timed right hand over his loose jab - to do that you need Arreola to throw punches and create opportunities for you. It was basically a version of the rope-a-dope, risky but it paid off. well,,,stiverne didn't stop aereolla the first time so maybe vitali would have also starched him in a rematch. either way vitali has never been regarded as a big knockout puncher like his brother anyway. he just clubs you into submission

Champ yes because technically he has a belt but legit champ? No. You don't become legitimate world champion by beating Willie Herring (13-10-3) then Chris Arreola 2x. Vitali beat Arreola worse than that. He had no chance the entire fight. Arreola was winning and beating up Stiverne before he got caught. Actually upon further review Stiverne and Leapai have similar resumes once you take out the Arreola fights.

Stiverne is a legit champ. No one, including Vitali Klitschko, has beaten Arreola like that before and I couldn't see even Wladimir beating Arreola like that because he wouldn't take as many risks as Stiverne did to land that sweet counterpunch.

Wlad chops him down and everybody knows it.

He didn't prove he was better than wlad, but he did prove he was a true contender to wlad

No he was losing... Of course after the KO he's gonna say that was his plan all along. WTF else would he say? "I thought all was lost but landed a lucky punch"? Boxing is boxing though, Arreola has no excuses, that was a generous ref for giving him the second count. yea,,,I agree with that. I don't think stiverne was purposely luring him in. Ive seen him fight like that in other fights. leaning against the ropes and waiting to counter. I think chris jabbing his way in for the first 4 rounds gave stiverne problems. unfortunately for chris he forgot his jab after that and was wide open for counters

Stiverne fought to a draw with Charles Davis. Seth Mitchell made Charles his bitch in 2 rounds. Bermane needs to stop ducking Mayhem, the people's champ. in fairness to stiverne he has improved steadily ever since that fight. Im still not sure he's all that good tho. I think aereolla's style was perfect for him and made him look better than he is

no. seth mitchell is the champ Stiverne fought to a draw with Charles Davis. Seth Mitchell made Charles his bitch in 2 rounds. Bermane needs to stop ducking Mayhem, the people's champ.

no. seth mitchell is the champ

Yes, I just hope a fight between Stiverne and Wilder gets made

is he better then the k brothers from beating arreola twice lol no bro he deserves his belt but he is not better then the k brothers tho u never know what could happen when they fight hell be heavy underdog

Stiverne got dat Lennox Lewis hair doe

Did Marcos Maidana prove to you he was a welterweight champ when he beat Broner? similar principle, there are multiple champs per division, Stiverne has as a good a claim as many of them. No, there are multiple belt holders, only 1 champ

There is only 1 champion at heavy and it ain't Stiverne. He did however prove he is a titlist and a cut above the riff-raff.

no He was clearly losing to Arreola. If arreola wouldnt of moven hes noggin He would of been champ right now You dont understand boxing , he wasnt clearly losing. He was clearly looking to knock Arreola out ,he knew he could and fought accordingly.

no He was clearly losing to Arreola. If arreola wouldnt of moven hes noggin He would of been champ right now

after beating arreola a second time is he a better fighter then either of the k bros? jeez,,,your questions are so ridiculous dude. beating a one dimensional plodder who's lost twice before like aereolla obviously doesnt make him a better fighters than the klits. its really his only impressive win

He's a belt holder. Justin beiber held a belt for mayweather. Stiverne holds this belt for klitschko.
