As far as I'm concerned, the WBC title and WBO title are even currently.

Dude has had the belt 26 months yet has yet to face an opponent worthwhile. He could have took a tough fight durin any of that time, the question is why won't he ? Forget Povetkin.
What happens when Ortiz is mandated and a Russian super freak don't put down an excessive amount does he go through with it ?

The most recent WBO heavyweight purse bid went for $3 million.
The most recent WBC heavyweight purse bid went for $7.15 million. The WBC heavyweight title has always and will always be more valuable than the WBO heavyweight title. It's not even close. The fact that you think they are even shows that you don't know **** about boxing.
Hell, the most recent purse bid for the ****INTERIM**** WBC heavyweight title went for $3.165 million. So even the INTERIM WBC belt is worth more than the WBO belt.
You're a fool.

Just because you say "forget Povetkin" doesn't mean we should. Why should we forget facts, logic and reason? Wilder has been champion 2 years. During that time, he agreed to fight the #1 fighter in enemy territory. Not his fault he cheated. In that time, he's had numerous injuries.
And yet he's still managed to schedule several defenses against top 20 guys in the IBO computerized rankings. Not his fault the top guys are fighting for other organizations. If they viewed Wilder as easy pickings, they'd be lining up to fight him. It's common sense.

Originally posted by original zero View PostThank you for your opinion, but it still doesn't make sense to trash Wilder's resume over the others when the consensus is that Stiverne is a better win. Stiverne was TBRB #3 when Wilder beat him. Ruiz was unranked when Parker beat him.
The random opinion of some random dude on the internet about the skill level of Ruiz should not trump the consensus of the world's leading experts.
The WBC is, by far, the most prestigious heavyweight title. The WBO is, by far, the least prestigious heavyweight title. Stiverne managed to win the top title.

Seriously mate, winning the WBC title by beating Arreola is all Stiverne has ever done!
Arreola turned out to be shot to hell, and was never all that good anyway, tbh.
Just tell me what you think Stiverne has done to justify the way you're hyping him here?Last edited by kafkod; 02-24-2017, 06:12 AM.

If you have a problem with that, take it up with the world's leading experts.
