Would Wilder of got to his feet from the same shot that knocked down joshua? against Wlad

That’s 2 fights. Let’s talk about the other 37! Well, you can’t blame him for taking his title shot, so that’s 3 fights. Still, it leaves 36 underwhelming fights. I honestly don’t care though, as he’s still one of the top heavyweights today.

I’m more interested in who he fights, should Joshua opt for Parker first.

 

Your fear is palpable.

 

The fight would still not be allowed to happen, he got popped. Not only that I would never fight someone who just popped. Thats like blaming lwbedev for not fighting Jones the second time. He has a daughter to go back to, a daughter with a disease

 

He had no problem taking punches from Stiverne in their first fight, does he not have power?

 

Yeah...I watch boxing, what does this have to do with anything? Are you suggesting Stiverne doesn't have power, it's a yes or no question.

 

In fairness to Wilder i dont really think he could have thought the guys after they had been caught by VADA. He isnt qualified to know what drug/volume of it constitutes a threat. Hes clean and they werent so hes right not to take the fight even if it imoacts his resume

 

Im not sure why you think he would not.

 

Because Wilder never faced any tough opponent? I know Stiverne was the bookies' favorite before the first fight, but the Ray Austin fight showed that Stiverne badly struggles against taller fighters, Wilder was a horrible match-up for him.

 

Woulda coulda shoulda. Joshua got hit by an old man with a straight right hand. If that was young Wlad fight over.

 

Stiverne tkod Austin so you have no point.

 

Yes, he TKOd a 41 year old washed up Austin because the old man gassed in the 10th round, but until that point Austin was leading on the scorecards and outboxing Stiverne. Bear in mind that Austin when he was in his prime was considered one of the worst title opponents of Wlad Klitschko, and got beaten by Sconiers and Levin prior to that. Yet Stiverne managed to struggle against this guy.

Btw. Anthony Joshua also TKOd Carlos Takam yet you constantly rip him for that performance, even though Takam is not a bum like the forementioned Austin. Once again you proved that you have no integrity.

 

So because Wilder has never been KD by a hard puncher like Joshua was, a thread claiming Wilder would not get up from a punch like that is made to try to persuade us he wouldn't?

Why?

 

Wilder was knocked down HARD by feather-fisted Harold Sconiers. Gabriel Montoya saw the fight live and wrote about it:

"Against Harold Sconiers, Wilder hit the deck hard after an uppercut from out of nowhere by Sconiers, who despite his 17-20-2 record could bang a little bit. Wilder took forever to recover and it was definitely a red flag. (...) Though on shaky legs, Wilder was able to stop Sconiers in four rounds."
