    heres the difference noob
    tyson was 18 years old destroying his competition and doing it on national tv
    wilder was fighting his on off tv shows and never a main event. they hid him where as tysons people promoted him
    its also a different age where there are 300 different channels to compete with. also no ufc back then

    After going life and death against Nichols and
    Wilder s****ping himself off the canvas to defeat
    that 500 pound Blob... people started to have
    doubts about the Bronzed ****ers abilities!!

    Wilder is ducking Nichols in a rematch...
    He went with Duhaupuss instead!!

    lol

    :patsch :patsch :patsch

    Underrated?? If anything, many boxing fans actually seem to OVER-rate it - in the sense that they give Wilder's power, or abilitiy to take a punch, ANY credibility AT ALL.

    Just look at the record. Wilder faced some of the most pathetic no-hopers I have ever seen a fighter go up against in my 35 years of following boxing, and he faced them for MUCH longer. Tyson, for example, was done facing Harold Sconiers-type fighters within a YEAR. It took Wilder FIVE YEARS to move beyond this level of "opposition."

    To date, the only halfway decent fighter Wilder has gone up against is Stiverne, and other than the limited Arreola, who did he ever beat? Still, the first live body Wilder faced, and his "power" disappeared. This is no surprise if you look at his record. Chris Byrd could've knocked out the stiffs he's padded his record with!

    No question. He needed to and should have ktfo stiverne. So it pretty much cemented the fact that the wlad camp knows that wilder has zero power if not completely set and able to tee off.

    One of the most underrated aspects of wlad is his power and threat of murder is true at all times bc of his amazing footwork and leverage.
