Comments Thread For: Schaefer: Wilder-Stiverne For WBC Title, Then Klitschko

Audley Harrison is ranked 40th, but yeah, I think Wilder will get beat up if he fights Stiverne. I even think Arreola will beat him.

Nope. Not going to happen. Whoever runs team Wilder won't let this happen. They've invested too much time building him up just to throw him to the wolves for no apparent gain. Stiverne is a much better fighter than people give him credit for. It's already a huge leap up in comp, then add the fact that Stiverne is very under-appreciated in his skills (though a little lazy with his conditioning-but what heavyweight today isn't apart from Kliscthko bros) and much better fighter all around than Wilder.

They would see this and wouldn't risk him. It's too obvious and much too dangerous as Wilder could become a half decent fighter given the time and chance. He does need to start taking some small risks, but jumping headlong over a huge cliff isn't the type of risk he should be taking.

This is crazy, he never fought anything close to a contender.
Dude got unmistakable power, but he looked a bit clumsy at times.
Stiverne would shatter his dreams

[Cuban Linx]

Stiverne is slow, but skilled. This is too big of a step up for Wilder imo.

Wilder Klit could be one of the biggest HW fights in a long time, however I would much rather see Wilder vs Haye with the winner getting Klit.

My goodness, what the bloody hell is Schaefer thinking? Stiverne is an underrated HW and he will take advantage of Wilder's tendency to leave himself open at times. If Stiverne catches him with the punch that broke Arreola's nose (and Arreola has a decent chin), it's going to be good night for Wilder.

The only consolation Wilder has is that Stiverne's chin has been cracked once and he does have a punchers chance due to his powerful right hand. But will Wilder's chin hold? Only time will tell. Even if his chin does hold, I think Stiverne has the edge here.

let him fight him, the guy has sparred with haye other good HWs we say he hasnt fought anyone and now he is trying to fight a name and people say he aint ready. the division is lacking talent and the kid has the power to put anyone out with one shot, if he sharpens his Defense and gets his footwork together better he will be hard for anyone to storm through. can he learn more and does he have heart and a chin are what we need to know let him fight nipple boy or that dreadhead stiverne.

FUnny how some boxing fans call a fight like this "too soon" or "too risky" for Wilder...you sound just like the promoters who you despise in the first place who also hold back good fights because they are protecting their potential money maker...

Let's get Wilder's show on the road with the big fights and see what he's made of....the HW division needs a really big fight that pits a top, undefeated challenger vs Wlad. Add in the fact that Wilder is American, an Olympian, a big puncher, of similar size and hungry, then you have a major HW fight that we haven't seen in years on your hand.

Wilder Haye in America on HBO would be legit with the winner getting Klit.

Stiverne wins this, right hand over the jab and good night Wilder.
