To bad he was never ready to fight anything resembling a legit fighter and come Saturday night it may be his downfall.

LOL maybe he should win first, cuz its by no means a sure win. If anything Id give him 30% chance at best

I've backed Stiverne. In theory, it should be a very easy nights work for him.

Great - so we can get Gavern II, Owen "What the Heck" Beck II, Audley Harrison II, and then... MAYBE.. Just MAYBE if we're lucky - Tyson coming out of retirement!

Pulling for Wilder but picking Stiverne here. I do want to point out that Wilder was given a bronze medal coming off an elimination loss. He didn't "win" the bronze medal. Surprised no one ever mentions this

When the fights start getting into the later rounds and the opponents start punching back, four times a year isn't going to seem as easy to Wilder.

If he is the goods at heavy that doesn't happen, Foreman was no master boxer and looked just as crude. If you can hurt people or put the fear of god into them it makes things a hell of a lot simpler.

So who would these men be? If he can take Stiverne out because that is the only way he is winning and this is meaningful at all.

Yea he did win it, he won the fights to get to that level, he lost to get to the championship and they just give out 2 bronze rather than having a bronze medal fight which is kind of lame but I can understand it.

He won the medal though, he didn't win the chance to fight for gold. His road to bronze was real simple though and he only has to win a fight or 2 and you normally have to win 3 to get bronze I think, so his medal wasn't that great, it was more a matter of him getting there and then winning some fights (or a fight).
