    I mean where even his own fans admit he will get badly outboxed for the entire fight but eventually he will land a hail mary and knock you out?
    And talk like its something to be proud of.

    Has there ever been a case of this in any other sport where fans go ' ya our lad is completely useless but his still going to win anyways'.

    I give wilder tons of stick but he is exciting . i mean the uysk match up is funny. wilder fans sound like this ' ya uysk will make wilder look like a drunken bum but his still going to win'.

    I think this is unique the way wilders own fans celebrate how bad he is at his sports.

    Only comparision i can think of is greece when the won the euro 2004. It was like ' ya were terrible at football but were going to stink the place out and nick a goal at some stage'

    I'll say he is pretty unique in that respect. But, I will also say, he's been fighting trash for 90% of his career and in that light this isnt surprising

    He's a Michael Grant with better matchmaking done on his behalf, fortunately for him he hasn't met his Lewis yet because he's been allowed to call the shots for whatever joke reasons.

    Vitali Klitschko was just as I coordinated and sloppy looking at times. He almost always looked to be in complete control of the match and his opponent though. That’s a big difference.

    Nobody has badly outboxed him as a pro yet. If the did they would've neutralized his power and beat him, but nobody has yet.

    Ortiz neutralized Wilder's jab, but couldn't neutralize Wilder's straight right hand, which is what Wilder was hurting him with in the fight and eventually stopped him with. Also, Ortiz was doing well with his straight lefts, but Wilder started beating him to the punch with his right cross and that was all she wrote.

    Stiverne was able to neutralize the effectiveness of Wilder's straight right by countering Wilder with left hooks whenever Wilder would try to get in the right position to throw his straight right with power. However, Stiverne's lack of head movement left him wide open for Wilder's jab. Stiverne most likely due to gassing also stopped throwing body shots in the middle to later rounds, which were limiting Wilder's mobility, but once Stiverne stopped attacking the body he gave Wilder an easy path to a unanimous decision.

    Nobody else on his resume really posed much of a threat to him.

    Why come, Wilder is so terrible, that fighters willingly turn down record breaking 50 million guaranteed paydays to fight him?

    Because, although he may have the worst technical skills of any fighter of his status, he has great physical attributes and his right hand is a ****ing NUKE.

    Right.....

    So that means you can dismiss everything else he does well such as his footwork and lateral movement?

    You've become accustomed to seeing only fatties and roid fueled bodybuilders in the HW division.

    Tyson Fury also has skinny legs so you need to recall a bit better.

    There is a difference between skinny, and looking like they are too short for your body. Wilder's legs are skinny, and look like they belong to Gary Russell Jr. If Wilder's legs were proportioned properly, he would be seven feet tall

    That makes absolutely no sense.

    Wilder legs doesn't look disproportionate to his body and sure as hell doesn't make him look short by any stretch of the imagination.

    He has a naturally slim constitution and him being so tall, the only way to describe his frame is lanky but even then that would be a stupid description considering there is significant amount of pure lean muscle supporting his skeletal structure.

    If you want to insult a fighter, at least make it have some truth in reality, or the very least make some sense.
