I hear rumours that Wilder will be fighting Stiverne again next, is this true?

Since you're too ****** to put 2 and 2 together:

It was a reflection that people considered the fight against Wade a waste of time, just as this fight is since Wilder already spanked Stiverne. Both are a waste of time, despite being mandatories. The point is the same posters crucifying GGG are trying to defend this mandatory, and walk around as if they are neutral & non-biased.


Let me know if you're too ****** to understand anything else, I'll be happy to explain simple things to you.

i heard that fury already knocked out GGG in sparring and snachez gave fury a blow job so he wouldnt do it again.

Stiverne was given the #5 ranking after losing the world championship. Considering he lost the title by decision, it wouldn't have been fair to drop him lower than that.

#1 Alexander Povetkin & #2 Mike Perez were ordered to fight for the silver championship in a final eliminator to determine Wilder's mandatory. Povetkin won and would have fought for the world title had he not been caught cheating.

#3 Tyson Fury chose to pursue a WBO title shot while #4 Glazkov chose to pursue an IBF title shot, removing them from the WBC rankings.

Stiverne did not climb the rankings by beating Rossy, beating Rossy simply kept him active so he wouldn't be removed from the rankings. He climbed the rankings from those in front of him losing or fighting for other titles.

Stiverne signed to fight Povetkin in a final eliminator to try to earn a shot at the title he'd recently lost. It's not his fault Povetkin was caught cheating again.

From Stiverne's perspective, why should he have to keep waiting for a rematch when there hasn't been a mandatory defense in over two years and he was ready, willing and able to face Povetkin until Povetkin was caught cheating again?

Look, I don't want to see Wilder-Stiverne again. Nobody wants to see it again. But nobody wants to see Golden State play the Nets on a Tuesday night instead of seeing them against a top team.

But sometimes in a sport, you compete against who you're scheduled to compete against and boxing would be a lot better off if fans weren't so quick to forgive fighters for ducking mandatories.

And if we didn't have four titles, the quality of the mandatories would greatly increase. Everyone complains about having four titles, but they often don't think about the fact that it also means four mandatories, watering down the quality of the mandatories.

This is a pretty good description of what happened. I can't argue with anything. This is kind of the same scenario how the WBO made Hughie Fury their mandatory. Similar circumstances with the guys rated ahead of him. He was the #5 before Haye fought Bellew, Klitschko fought Joshua & the #1 & 2 fought for the vacant WBO belt when Tyson Fury vacated. The #1 spot just fell to Hughie...

it wouldnt shock me at all. theres always excuses on here too when he fights a bum.

Mandatory doe..right??

[sicko]

I think he should get it out of the way same with AJ who has to take care of Pulev and Ortiz as his IBF and WBA Mandatory's while Wilder takes care of Stiverne and he should unify with Parker if possible before their Mega Showdown

Why are people acting as if they're running out of time and Wilder vs Joshua most happen this year or else? Honestly when they meet I don't want no other Champion just on the outside look in. It should be the showdown for it ALL for pure Supremacy at Heavyweight

Nice read. I do understand that but at times the sanctioning bodies do leave the #1 mando vacant until they sort the mess up. Sometimes in order for them to collect sanction fees they will rate the fighters.
