And that shape would be pear shaped...

Stiverne is obviously not a weight lifter, but that doesn't mean that he is not in shape. I have seen guys in the military who looked worse than Stiverne but could run circles around you in any fitness contest.

This is a great fight! I can't wait!

Stiverne doesn't have the body type/genetics to come in ripped and is at his best when hes around 240.

You should be a lot more concerned with how Wilder has legs the width of a gnats **** than Stiverne not being shredded.

Man, when I say I cannot stop laughing at your Avi! This made my day! Lol

Sorry to have to be Mr Instant Justice here, but I wonder how some of you can call yourselves boxing fans/experts/whatever and then say Stiverne is fat and outta shape. Hey, the guy that he beat in TWO fights... that's the outta shape bum. As for weight, he was 247 for Arreola I and went 12 easily, kept his power and accuracy throughout. And he was the 239 for Arreola II and flat out dismantled the guy in 6. Last time he looked bad and out of shape was vs Austin, and he stopped him in 10.

Maybe you're just shook and grasping at straws because you know chicken legs is getting stopped and embarrassed. Yes, it could always go the other way in a HW fight with one solid shot, but I'm going with the true thinker in the ring, probably fastest handspeed at HW, better boxer, more tested, at least equal power, and that is Stiverne.

He didn't beat the hell out of Arreola. A win is a win but for historical purposes.. Arreola was beating him up throughout the fight until one big punch knocked him silly.

He broke Arrreola's nose once, beat him up for a decision the first time. Second fight had him hurt in the first round and finished him by he knocking him silly in the last round.


So yeah, he beat the hell out of him. Twice.

I agree regarding Wilder's legs , 219 for a man that tall is also surpringly light.

As for Stiverne, he's comfortable at this weight that's true, and luckily for him boxing is not all about atheticism.

With that said, regardless of his body type, from an athletic stand point he's at least 10 pounds above his ideal weight, probably more.

Damn, those legs. Wilder better go at Stiverne early, otherwise he's in for a world of trouble.

[MDPopescu]

Yeah that is true. But it just seems dude has been skipping a lot of leg days! He's like an inch taller than Klitschko. I'd like to see him add a few more pounds but who knows.

Wilder needed to work out his legs singe long ago.

Looking at the 2nd photo... that isn't even the real Don King. It's a wax statue of King they rolled on stage with a hand truck.
HAAA!

Bob Fitzsimmons had skinny legs yet he was still a monster puncher and a great champion.
