    Loading up on one punch all the time on a stationary target seems to be fine with people it looks like. So all of a sudden Wilder is skilled because of this fight?

    Right. Wilder has made a conscious decision to strive solely for knockout punches -- I don't think he even tries to win points.

    So why doesn't everyone else do that? Because it's not ****ing easy. Every round is spent looking for that KO shot. Wilder has to bet everything on the KO every single time and still manages to deliver.

    No one else has ever been able to do something like that. It's remarkable. Wilder has basically invented a new style of boxing.

    I’m interested in what era of HW did you consider to be great and also great HW champions after the Lewis/Holyfield Era

    I agree with this.
    However minus his clear bias against wilder i think hes right.
    Boxing right now is a bit of a joke.
    But then again maybe its always been like this.

    Yarde is going to get knocked the **** out and humbled just like “Supaman” did ;)

    And Mirko forget to mention Gvozdyk, Usyk, Saunders, Gassiev, Beterbiev and Besputin as far as other gems :thumbsup:
