But now we have someone who is destined to be WBC champion and the next REALLY great heavyweight: Deontay Wilder!
He will stop Bermane Stiverne and then continue to wipe out all the mediocre heavyweights including Tyson Fury, Alexander Povetkin and the "champion by default" Wladimir Klitschko.
The only one who will present a challenge to him in a couple of years is Anthony Joshua. Otherwise, Wilder will completely dominate.
This must have really hurt you to say that about a black man and to put down a white man in the same sentence, you must be smoking some real good good.
I hope B-Ware knocks those chicken legs from under Wilder:
BERMANE STIVERNE, WBC Heavyweight Champion
"It's going to be a real fight, a fight like you've never seen before. I'm no cab driver, I'm no one-hit wonder, this is the real deal. This belt here isn't going anywhere. This green belt is staying right here in this green hotel.
"Everyone who has supported me, you won't be disappointed. I've seen plenty of guys like Wilder, even guys who talk more than him.
"I don't worry about how I go in the ring, I worry about how I get out of the ring.
"There's something about Deontay...I'm gonna keep his record clean, because he isn't getting past four rounds.
"This is a real fight and this belt is staying right here in my home town. You're going to get hurt, the worst thing you did was have me take you seriously, and I'm taking you seriously.
"This is going to be a terrific fight. After this fight you will never ever hear about Deontay Wilder."
DEONTAY WILDER, Unbeaten No. 1 WBC Mandatory Contender
"You are all in for a treat. I've never been so ready to whoop a man. There's been a lot of talk, a lot of stuff on social media. But through all that, it's been real. I don't play games. It doesn't get any realer than this. We risk our lives every time in that ring.
"If you only knew the whooping I'm going to put on this boy, you all want the first American champ, but this is for me. I am not scared to walk with my head held high because I am ready for any test.
"This is the most exciting heavyweight bout in years. This is the awakening of the heavyweight division and there's nowhere else to have it than at MGM Grand.
"This is the number one spot to have boxing and I've just been waiting for this for so long. The training, the heartache, the pain and the suffering has been a long journey.
"Many people wrote me off early in my career. People say I'm not supposed to be here. People still write me off and I thank them for that. Because when they write me off I still go to another level and push forward.
"People don't know what it took me to get here. Nothing has been given to me and I appreciate every little thing I have. This made me who I am in life.
"I knew it was going to take hard work to get that belt and I'm ready for that test. This is my time; I don't think my opponent understands purpose because this is my time.
"When I do the unexpected, I don't want you all to degrade this man, Stiverne. I don't want anyone to make excuses for my victory. Stick by your word. Let this be a test for me and watch me pass my test. I guarantee I will do it.
"I know everyone has been speaking for you, Bermane, but they can't fight for you. They can only make it worse for you. They have made it worse for you. You don't understand what type of man you're about to get in the ring with.
"You've only been champion for a short period of time but you walk around like it's been a long time. You're only a tourist to that belt.''
