Comments Thread For: W. Klitschko Eyes Stiverne-Arreola Winner in The U.S.

[cupocity303]

Without a world title the money isn't there to encourage those sorts of fights and no one wants to take risks in case they lose out on a potential mandatory spot to Wlad, which while he holds all the titles is the only big money fight in the division.

There's a reason the HW division is dead, much of it comes down to these guys not wanting to fight each other because it's not worth the risk. If they can get this world title on the move we'll see fights with all the big names in the US and UK.

You may have a point.

He should probably hold back and let the WBC Title holder establish himself the same way Povetkin did with the WBA 'Regular' Title. Still, another Heel-ish part of me just wants him to unify ASAP to spite the fans. Not only unify, but do in the U.S. in a very boring fashion that would make the 2008 Ibragimov encounter look like Gatti/Ward in comparison. And then take the belt and "duck" Pulev for another two years.

He better fight his IBF mandatory Pulev first that one has been delayed long enough.

stiverne and arreola are both jokes neither one of them will touch klitschko. at least wilder has the size and power to maybe make the fight interesting, but he actually has to beat a proven opponent first and get tested, hopefully go longer than 5 rounds for once in his career

The right thing to do would have been top rated WBC contender Stiverne vs Wlad as he is the real HW champion, the winnner of Stiverne/Arreola 2 can't be regarded as a champion because we already have an established HW champion but rather a contender with a meaningless belt.

Finally a Wlad fight you can get excited about. Either Stiverne or Arreola would make one hell of an opponent for Wlad.

wlad hasn't fought an in your face pressure fighter since corrie sanders. arreola is the one guy who would be in his face. vitali has a rock solid chin, wlad doesn't. wlad has looked vulnerable without steward by his side. your post has a chance of actually happening...

Vitali didn't beat Arreola because of his " rock solid" chin, Vitali simply schooled and battered Arreola. I think Wladimir might do the same to him.

How is it possible that crowning a new vacant world heavyweight champion does not seem interesting in the least bit?

Because the fight already happened...and it was pretty decisive.

Now Iīm confused.. Stiverne and Arreola are jokes but Wilder isnīt?

[Dr.Eisenfaust]

I don't know why he wants to get that WBC belt that early as he cannot keep it very long. Is WLadimir aiming to take that belt back to let older brother Vitali fight for it afterwards ?

[Muscles72]

Wvladimir wants that belt also and why not unify the title him and his brother are never going to fight anyway.
