    Shut up....


    Cunningham could easily KO that uncoordinated bum if he landed anything solid, the punch he dropped Fury with would have likely spelled the end for Wilder. Thompson schools and KO's Wilder.

    Scott was not "Brutally KO'd by Scott" Scott took a dive... there was nothing brutal about that "stoppage".

    Glazkov lost to Scott, but he's ahead of Wilder?

    Cunningham was eating Fury's jabs like he was hungry. Wilder has a good jab, longer reach than USS and equal handspeed, Deontay is not losing a battle of jabs vs USS.

    I would never want to see Cunningham/Wilder happen because I like Cunningham and he's already battle worn. I don't want to see him convulsing on the floor when Wilder catches him, it won't go more than 3 rounds.

    Entertaining scrap. Mansour's lack of discipline, and lack of stamina really did him in. Was kind of disappointing seeing the guy swing wildly for the fences all night. Totally amateurish. He didn't set up any of his shots at all. That had a lot to do with him gassing halfway through. Still I had it a bit closer than the official cards. I had it 6-4 Cunningham, 94-93.

    Mansour wins that fight easy, if he simply fights a disciplined fight, instead of being a wild man.

    You may well be right, but we can't rank fighters based off potential.
    Glazkov beat Adamek who was in by consensus a top 10 fighter.
    USS beats a good fighter in Mansour, and Thompson also beat Solis a top 10-15 in many opinions.
    They earned their ranks. Wilder is no doubt knocking on the door, but he has to win the wbc strap to be considered top 10.
    Also remember in every fight styles make fights.
    I'm by no means a Wilder hater, but his next fight will determine his status as a top 10 guy.

    I'm having more trouble wrapping my head around Stiverne and Fury ahead of Povetkin...

    It was ruled a draw, and Malik actually came to fight that night.
    The Wilder fight was ruined with controversy, and skepticism about the legitimacy of the KO.
    Glazkov beat a top ten guy. Wilder's team should have been smart, and fought Adamek. He'd be top 5 too if he had beat him instead.
    His team is too worried about anyone touching his beard. Like a fake santa with kids trying to pull his whiskers, lol.
