What a dumb response. Ali was dropped by Sonny Banks. Does Ali's chin suck, too? The Sconiers fight was about a DECADE AGO. Wilder's fought a lot of guys since he fought Harold Sconiers and NONE of them dropped him. And Wilder got up and floored Sconiers four times and nearly killed him in the same fight. Fighting for 10 years - five of them as WBC champ - and never going down shows you have a chin.
No. It doesn't. It shows you have cherry picked your way to the top, not literally never fought anyone who proved they could punch their way out of a paper bag and still gets rocked by bums and no hopers. It also shows you how ridiculously American Patriotism can blind people from the truth.
Yeah, instead of fighting Fury and Oritz a couple times, he should've fought Andy Ruiz, got dropped four times, spit out his mouthpiece and quit. Go to bed, George.
Oh what a banner day that would be for American heavyweights. The meltdown that would result from Ruiz, Hunter and Wilder going 3-0 would live in infamy. And no I'm not being nationalistic, I just can't help picturing how ****ing hilarious that would be.
If it’s worth a dime I think one should consider DW started boxing late in his athletic career. The cherry picking was a necessary evil to endure while developing an athlete into a fighter. Getting rocked or dropped by men, who normally always outweigh you can certainly be expected. Chins don’t harden with experience neither does power, although technique and dexterity play a significant role, and these attributes can be improved through experience. I’m confused by your claim of patriotism as being the reason why DW has seen more recognition. I’m from the US and frequent the gyms....this blind unadulterated love and acceptance doesn’t exist for DW. Again I ask why does a fighter have to fit your perfect mold in order to be taken seriously? Wilder has an undeterred belief in himself that I find admirable. He faced who many consider to be the most well rounded fighter in the division and left with a controversial draw whilst seriously dropping the man twice and maybe sneaking in a round or two. Not bad for a complete fraud that relies solely on heart, will, determination and a right hand.
He also took a couple years off in there and got flattened about a dozen more times than Wilder. Wilder has been down in his entire career as many times as Wlad was against Steve Pannell. But, whatever. Sconiers. Sconiers. Sconiers. Sconiers.
Is that what you've done? (LOL) Wilder's been down once in 43 fights. You left that part out of what I said.
