I hear people saying oh yeah stiverne was a legit win, yeah wilders fought bums but he proved himself against stiverne. what actually elevates him above any of the other bums on wilders CV? He was highly ranked, so what? Cause governing body rankings are so reliable lol. From what i see, all hes beaten is chris arreola, wow, is that the acid test at heavyweight or something, beating arreola? I never thought much of him beating stiverne a few years back, yet alone bombing him out now when hes a big fat sloppy 39 year old coming in on short notice. I guess that proves wilders the best heavyweight around though!!! No chance joshua could have done that to such quality opposition.

No no no. You have it wrong. It's not governing body rankings. Stiverne was #2 or #3 in every major credible independent ranking system when Wilder shut him out. Sanctioning bodies had nothing to do with it.Originally posted by DramaShow View Post -

Chris Arreola, although he was a journeyman at that point.Comment

Mate dont talk sense to this guy with the orgs as his name...he legit relies on blacl and white text that suits his argument but throws all logic out the window when it flies in the face of what suits him.Originally posted by DramaShow View Post

He was ranked highly because he was the world heavyweight champion of the #1 organization in boxing.Originally posted by DramaShow View Post
Here are the TBRB rankings from right before the first Stiverne-Wilder fight:
Champion: Wladimir Klitschko
1. Alexander Povetkin
2. Tyson Fury
3. Bermane Stiverne
4. Kubrat Pulev
5. Carlos Takam
6. Deontay Wilder
7. Vyacheslav Glazkov
8. Bryant Jennings
9. Steve Cunningham
10. Mike Perez
Who exactly should have been ranked ahead of Stiverne?Comment

And? How does that change the fact that Wilder still has the highest ranked win on his resume of any current heavyweight champion?Originally posted by MDPopescu View Post
Yet over and over the trolls cry that Wilder has "never faced a top 10 contender" or other such nonsense.
Wilder has a top 3 win. AJ's best is #6. Don't even get us started on Parker.Comment
