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

[No.]

Wilder flattens Stiverne in 4-6.

Gets Wlad outta there in 2.

And scores a brutally shocking KO1 of Vitali after he comes out of retirement in 2015 to avenge his brothers loss the year prior. (after a failed presidential bid)

WE UNDISPUTED CHAMPION NOW!!!!!!

Same here.

It really does make sense eventually he's gonna fight someone who clocks him good and ends the hype, might as well go for the title if he loses they can chalk it up as an experience thing and build him up again better to lose to Stiverne then a lesser guy.

Plus doubt that GB isn't aware of Wilder's lack of boxing acumen and overall skills so maybe they figure he's not going to get better and his only chance will be his power so let's ride with that.

Stiverne's biggest win before "stepping up" to beat Ray Austin was against Kerston Manswell.

And his biggest win before "stepping up" to beat Arreola was against Austin -- a somewhat still live journeyman type himself who had won four of his previous seven fights.

Stiverne may or may not be all that ... if he doesn't break Arreola's nose, who knows?

If you're in Wilder's position and have a chance to fight for a world title against a 6-foot-2 guy who got stopped by a guy with a losing record and has a draw with a 17-17 guy, I'd say it's worth taking that shot.

Yup, just like Stiverne has a good chance at a belt from a guy who got dropped by the Hamburlger
