Comments Thread For: Pulev vs. Chisora Set For May 7, For EBU Title and IBF Eliminator

Stuck in limbo why ? Stiverne is higher ranked than Chisora and certainly more deserving of a semi eliminator, he is another who I don't believe should just be able to waltz into a another final eliminator on the back of his previous victory against was it Rossy ? Who did Chisora face last, he's been facing the same level of opposition as Helenius as of late.

Stiverne is not ranked in the top 10-15 in any organization except the WBC. He is #2 behind Povetkin. He will be the next in line for povetkin/wilder winner. If he is forced to fight an eliminator the next available contender in andy ruiz at #6. pulev & takam at #4 & 5 are busy. Haye is #7. Haye could jump up to #2 behind Povetkin is he fights & beats Stiverne. Chisora is getting this fight because he is the next highest guy available. I suspect Stiverne is waiting for the WBC to either name him #1 after Povetkin/wilder fight or match him in a final eliminator which would be either against Ruiz or Haye.

Stiverne is ranked eleventh with the IBF. Chisora has entered this because he is connected to Sauerland, no other reason, which is all by the by anyhow I care little Pulev will told this cream cake.

Id like to see Stiverne vs Pulev as an eliminator.

takam/parker is a final so this fight is probably a semi for the next mando down the road. So there could be another eliminator to make. stiverne 11, helenius 12, haye 13, breazeale 14 & jarrell miller 15... Helenius is busy with Duhaupas & haye fights may 21. Could it be one of Stiverne, breazeale or miller? I heard Wallisch (#8 WBO) as a rumoured opponent for Haye. I wonder who would be in the other eliminator if it happens? Chisora has 5 wins in stay busy fights the last 8 months so his activity has put him in the top 10 along with his Sauerland ties. Activity also helps rankings along with regional belts.
