| Man Stiverne just had a really impressive showing against Chris Arreola in their rematch. Yes he was Down 1-3 IMO when he stopped Arreola, but it was clear he was coming on at the end of the 4th. I have always believed that Vitali is the more impressive of the Klitschko brothers. He has very underrated quick feet, that really showed vs Arreola (I'm talking about Vitali). Wladimir has mastered the strategy of jabbing, clinching and mixing in a right hand; Stiverne is the first fighter in a long time to be a legitimate challenge to Wladimir, and Wlads top opponents aren't exactly a murderers row (Haye, Ibragimov, Brewer, Byrd). I personally think Stiverne presents the biggest challenge that Wladimir has ever faced. He is due to defend against some European no one should really give a shit about, but has said he wanted to unify the titles vs the Stiverne - Arreola 2 winner. Stiverne can move, has a really good chin, fast hands and perhaps the most important thing that he has, is he is a smart boxer. Wladimir is a very smart boxer and it's going to take a smart one to beat him. I really think that not having manny Steward in the corner will come in to play because Steward could help correct mistakes in this fight IMO. Won't bullshit, for the first time in a long time, I think someone has a shot to beat a Klitschko. | |

| Klitschko is on a different level. It will take a one punch KO to beat him. | |
