[original zero]

you THINK they got their by fighting when its really about $$$ ,do you really think KING has nothing to do with Stiverns rank ?

boxingscene has stiverne ranked #3 in the world.

you're saying don king paid them off?

then why rank fighters at all if after the fact everyone will just rewrite history?

would be very easy to make the case that joshua's win over klitschko is being vastly over-rated.

first of all, klitschko had been inactive so long he wasn't even rated to begin with, let alone in the top 10. further, he was coming off an embarrassing lost and before that he struggled against jennings.

klitschko hasn't won a fight in years, has lost two straight. maybe he's over the hill? maybe he's shot? maybe joshua almost lost to a shot over the hill inactive fighter who hasn't beaten anybody in years?

we could play this game all long. but the fair thing to do is to give people credit for what they accomplish and not try to rewrite history afterward.

Stiverne is a journeyman who happened to get lucky by being matched with Arreola for the WBC title.

Only somebody who DKSAB would even try to make a case for a win over Stiverne being as good as a win over Wlad Klitschko.

Boxingscene rankings are a joke. I gave up even looking at them long ago, after I realised how bad they are.

Boxing scene had him number 3 ?? wow there you go you just won with your high level IQ of irrelevance !

"In the case of Stephen Hawking, once in an interview for a New York Times article in 2004, when he was asked, what his IQ was? His response was: "I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers."
