There's no reason Stiverne can't take some time off, rededicate himself, get a few wins under his belt and try to get himself in position for an eliminator. An eliminator he'd likely lose, but might be able to make a few hundred grand.

I dont think he will ever be in contention to win a belt again. Bear in mind he's 39 so taking time off would not be a good idea.

But this is the heavyweight division, guys have had success into their 40s. Stiverne is done at the highest level, but with four different leagues, he can sneak into the top 10 again of one of them an angle for an eliminator if he can get with a promoter who actually puts events on.

If Hearn is smart he would make Stiverne vs Chisora in what would be a retirement match ,sure to resemble two little puppets in a puppet show hitting eachother non stop for 12 rnds or until someone is too battered to continue .

Ironically Takam was grinding hard behind the scenes for months as was said by Joshua and Hearn themselves. Either that was their plan all along or trying to sace face with their already paid ticket goers, fact is Stiverne didnt look the part being in shape with them rolls..
Maybe look at some Tyson fights with his 1st round KOs. Tyson, his power alone, would you say his opponents were the worst performances in Heavyweight history? Or does the credit go to Tyson because of his menacing accuracy?
