Comments Thread For: Stiverne Weighs 254 Pounds, 15 More Than 1st Fight With Wilder

[boliodogs]

i like wilder because he's a in shape all year round kinda fighter. 3 years ago he was at 219. 220 today showing that he takes his training very very seriously. joshua was 10 pounds heavier then when he fought wlad. stiverne 15 pounds bigger then when he 1st fought wilder. heavyweights like joshua stiverne don't understand how being 220 235 is a benefit. all they see is food food food. weight lifting. getting big. I am bigger. heavyweight boxing has never worked that way. u are at a serious stamina disadvantage when u add on so much bulk & weight. someone like joshua should really be 235 to 240 max.

Wilder carries no extra weight into the ring. He is all bone and muscle like many of the best heavyweights of the past Many of today's heavyweights aren't much bigger than heavyweights of the past. They are only fatter. If Stiverne had the same low percentage of body fat that Wilder does he would probably weigh about 200 pounds.The 15 pounds of blubber Stiverne has added to his already fat self will just make Wilder's job easier.

Stiverne is such a piece of ****. This fool got a world title shot when he isn't even deserving and he cant even show up in shape. This fool looks like he just had chicken and waffle for breakfast.

Lennox Lewis was around 250-255 around the end of his career when he was facing Vitali and Tyson and he was 6-5. Vitali floated around 240-245 during his run.

Most of the taller heavyweights were around that weight. Wilder being at 220-225 is very slim.

Shoot, LeBron is bigger than Deontay is.

He was talking about killing Wilder in the ring.. Looks like all he's really been killing is cheeseburgers.

I would say it is wise for Wilder to target that midsection, there is no way Stiverne is not sweet in the gut.

i wish. wilder
would add body shots
to his arsenal, but so far he aint. those kong arms landing a left hook to the liver? helluva weapon to add.

In shape Takam a much better opponent for Joshua than out of shape Stiverne for Wilder. Wilder has twice as much fights than Joshua but his opposition is very poor. Takam,Breazeale & Klitschko would have given Wilder trouble.

im a huge wilder fan, but i tend to agree.

Wilder is even less known. His handlers hoped that he gets recognition by the casuals because of his KO ratio. But they were wrong. Even outside of Alabama barely someone knows him in the US LOL

in the US no one follows boxing. ur average american sports fan remembers that some russian guy or maybe he and his brother were heavyweight champ.

they saw pacquiiao-mayweather, left
baffled, then, not realizing it
was a fixed fight were really impressed with how macgregor held his own.

yea they heard a him in alabama of course. just like they heard a crawford in nebraska. but, in general, american sports can and the american public dont know boxing.

Wilder will be in world of trouble if he weigh ins 220 lbs against vs. Joshua... It will be his downfall.
