    A ridiculous comment by Bellew. Wilder without his physical dimensions isn't Wilder. If you took away Floyd's or Lennox's reach's they would also need to fight differently. Only an idiot wouldn't use their physical attributes to their advantage. Wilder does what works for him. Wilder isn't very heavy so he doesn't gas, which allows him to get away with throwing right hands all fight. Wilder also has mobility, which is rare in today's heavyweight division.

    Bellew should look at himself, since I remember Bellew being run over by Stevenson.

    In truth Wilder needs his height and length to fit how he fights,many boxers did. You work with what you got if you lack better skills,would Foreman be as good without his size and weight? Nope.

    People need to realize you cant take away ones attributes ,if its there you better use them and wilder does to his credit but really he has no choice,if he was only allowed to use proper and better skills that he had to put together in the ring he wouldnt be boxing, his nearly 40 fights in with no decent level of opponent for a HW champ would indicate his skill levels and ability to get better which is the slowest ive seen really.

    Bellew wouldnt be worrying about Wilders skills ,he would have to worry about how wilder plans on landing on him which he would. Other HW's can pick apart his skills ,Bellew isnt one of them bc hes the type of guy a bigger less skilled guy dont have to worry about.

    Wilder needs somebody that punches even softer than Bellew. Maybe a LHW willing to make the trip up. Whats the name of that guy Ward fought for 30K? Sounds promising!

    Bellew has a point wilder is lacking in skill but improving under Breland however a fight between them would result in Tony being KOED early .Bellew should keep well away from wilder like he did with Briedas.

    I hope it does if i am honest.

    I bet you would get fantastic odds on how many times in a week Bellew would say "Simple as Dat".

    The fight could me promoted on them three words, Jesus it could be the headliner on the poster!

    Yes I agree. For both Bellew and Wilder.

    Can't beat the elite heavys.

    Well maybe Wilder can, he just hasn't fought any yet.

    Lmao

    Tony's are not much better. It took him an age to get rid of a one-legged Haye and he never even scored a clean KO.

    BJ Flores was actually landing with ease in their fight before Tony low-blowed him and changed the course of the fight. Flores actually took the first round clearly.

    Wilder is awful but imagine if Haye injured his achilles during a fight with Wilder... Wilder would end him in seconds. Tony couldn't do it.

    Bellew is at least a fundamentally okay boxer, nothing amazing but solid in most areas. Wilder fights like a drunk in a bar, except he's got a basketballer's physique so it looks even more awkward.
