Comments Thread For: King Says Hold Up, Wilder May Not Get Stiverne Next

Oh yeah! Wilder ko 3.

[umop-ap!sdn]

1. We will never be rid of Don King. Even after he passes im sure there will be something put in place by him that will allow him to but fuccck fighters from the grave

2. People can talk bad about Wilder all they want, truth of the matter is there is not one heavyweight who has something serious to lose (belt, undefeated record, #1 rank) that will agree to fight Wilder. They will avoid it as long as they can hold off. They say he has no chin and no experience but they dont say he couldnt knock them out. Deep down inside they all know, lack of skills and bums aside, this kid can blank any man walking if he hits them. He's just that strong, and he is athletic for a tall man. It scares the top dogs half to death i strongly belive this.

3. I would not be so fast if I were King to look for a unification just yet as if Klitchko is the EASIER route. Its fkn Wlad, Steelhammer Klit. He is much more polished a boxer and fighter than Wilder and has more experience against better opposition even has losses he's learned from that have made him better. Stylistically, Klit is likely a far worse matchup for Stiverne even though we kno if B-Ware lands it's over for Wlad. Wlad is not easy to get to and Stiverne is hittable. Stiverne vs Wilder to me is whoever lands flush first. Stiverne vs Klit to me is can stiverne land flush because we KNOW Wlad can and will. If i were them I would take my chances with Wilder as Wlad is a more "sure" fight. Meaning, you know what to expect from Wlad and its a tall order. Wilder we don't know if he can fight at this level yet so best to take your chances and hope he aint ready rather than fight Wlad whom you know is more than ready at this level.

I knew this would happen and I really can't critique them for it. The smart move for them would be to go straight after the big fight with Klitschko instead of risking that chance fighting Wilder first.

As a fan, of course, I would love to see Stiverne-Wilder and the winner rightfully getting a shot at Klitschlo.

It is what it is though, Stiverne earned his leverage last night. He deserves to enjoy his world title, that's the dream and ultimate goal of most / all fighters.

Next for Stirvene

The only way to keep the WBC title in the USA is to ONLY fight Americans. Wilder, then Jennings, etc Klitschko will keep title until he retires which should be within 2 years. Can't see him fighting at 40 like his brother. If Vitali doesn't become president of Ukraine he may be back.

King will "muddy the waters" first
