Ivan Dychko: Klitschko is much better than Wilder, Deontay didn't impress me at all

    Dychko's biggest wins at pro so far are:

    Maurice Harris (26-22, 0-4-1 in his last 5 before Dychko)
    Michael Marrone (21-10, 1-5 in his last 5 before Dychko)

    I understand he's somewhat new (although Hrgovic debuted at the same time), but the bottom line is that he's done nothing yet to make me value his opinion. (I'm aware of his bronze medals.)

    Really, I would say he's accomplished the least of all the recently-turned-pro Olympians so far.

    He needs an actual win against a live body before I'll give a **** about what he thinks or says. I don't know, maybe he'll make a meteoric rise soon and beat Joshua within a couple years (I doubt it).

    Finally, maybe Fury wasn't at his absolute best in the Wilder fight, but I have zero doubt that version of Fury was still leagues above Dychko, and Wilder still came very, very close to winning that fight -- by both pts and KO, in my opinion.

    Personally, I suspect Dychko is just trying to get attention by saying this stuff.

    I agree that Wilder was close to knocking Fury out, but how he was close to beating him on points if he lost pretty much every round in which he didn't knock him down? It was a boxing lesson from clearly not the best version of Fury.

    I thought so while watching it live (I wasn't really paying attention to scoring), but upon rewatching I just don't feel that way. I thought Wilder was winning quite a few rounds.

    (Not that I'm implying people who scored it solely for Fury must not have been paying attention. Just my personal experience that I wanted to relate as I have past posts that vaunted Fury in the Wilder/Fury fight thread)

    I'm not surprised tbh, Wilder was made to do the chicken dance from a jab from Nichols..
