Comments Thread For: WBC: Stiverne Must Face Wilder Next, Not Klitschko

[Daddy T]

wilder stiverne would be an awesome fight don't really understand why people are so determined to see a wlad hug fest v stiverne. let wlad hug the winner.

[Weebler I]

Stay busy fights. There is documentation of top 10 HWs turning down fights with Wlad at the time of those fights.


Don't blame the champ for staying active, blame the so called top HWs who did not want to fight him.

yeah yeah, the HWs are all turning down the only lottery ticket in the division (pull the other one).

Unfortunately its true. They realise that Wladimir is head-and-shoulders above everyone in the division, and want to protect their unbeaten records until he retires.

If they take the Wladimir payday and lose, it's back to square one. You'll see it now: every contender will go after the WBC strap because it's seen (quite rightly) as an easier route/against other C-level opposition.

Wladimir is a ducked man.

Good fight

LOL @ the suggestion of some in this thread that Stiverne is worthy of being a belt holder but Wilder is somehow unworthy of being his #1 contender

Analyze both of their records and you'll see that their resumes are pretty much dead even. Only Wilder doesn't have a KO loss to a fighter with a losing record.

That's not what I'm hear from all the heavyweights. Chisora, Haye, Chambers, Fury...have all repeatedly said they want Klitschko and they know fine well he's not retiring any time soon.

Pulev wants him right now and Wlad is trying to spin some line about how the fans would criticise him if he fought Pulev. Meanwhile, Kubrat has to turn down other big fights sitting around waiting for him.

Ducking Wlad is like ducking Mayweather, it doesn't happen and makes no sense.

Wtf u talking about. even Tyson wasn't ducked when he was at the top. Wlad is not a ducked man. at this stage of his career he's a cherry picker that's why commissions have to excessive mandatory fights. Fury would jump at the chance, many boxers will especially the once he cherry.

I get the sense that Wladimir doesn't really want to fight the very good and very deserving Kubrat Pulev.

If true, that's unfortunate. Why would anyone criticize him for fighting Pulev, one of the best heavyweights in the world?
