    Whyte and Chisora? Relly?

    Dont see them going 3 rounds with Wilder. They are both too flat footed and Denotay can use his sniper rifle from the ouside and sending them to the canvas.

    Of course Whyte maybe could land his left counter hook, if not he gets finished even worser than AJ fineshed him.

    And Chisora ends up like he did against Haye.

    The only similarly is that we're both powerful punchers.

    Other than that Foreman had a better resume at just 24 years old to Wilders whole career in his mid 30s now.

    Wilder has been terrified of big punchers since being dropped by Scroniers. Avoided big punchers his whole career. Even then he still gets rocked by Ortiz, Molina and even dropped by a weak body shot from fighter known to lack punching power in Fury. Had his face battered by Duhaupas and Also lost multiple rounds to poor opposition such Szpilka and Washington.

    Dubois was too easy to hit v Joyce, he has no head movement.

    Fury would beat him (again) and I think the Joshua fight is 50/50

    He knocks everyone else out

    Except his is actually arguable (bar Hughie), yours isn't.

    Get a new routine ... seriously. Sconiers? LOL

    That's like saying Joe Frazier loses to everyone because Mike Bruce knocked him down.

    Frazier got dropped by Bruce, stood up and proceeded to destroy him, dropping him four times and stopped him. And Wilder got dropped by Sconiers, stood up and proceeded to destroy him, dropped him four times and stopped him.

    How often do you trot out Mike Bruce when discussing who beats Frazier?

    Seriously.

    If all you got left is Sconiers to try to make whatever points you're trying to make, you've got nothing left.

    Foreman also thought he both wasn't a good finisher nor extremely powerful. He said Lennox Lewis is the greatest heavyweight ever and that sweat falls pitifully.

    People say ****, they don't always mean it and they definitely don't always make sense.

    Then I look forward to your "Lawrence Okolie beats Deontay Wilder" thread.

    Can't wait to hear your "Pro Okolie" argument.

    I said it's arguable, not probable. If Okolie banjos Wilder like he did Głowacki, then Wilder is going down.

    Like I said, I look forward to your "OKOLIE BEATS WILDER" argument.

    Good luck with that.

    Do this, but upwards?

    I hope you can get it in your head that I maintain its arguable - since Okolie setting up a fight ending cross vs someone with a defence as poor as Wilder's is incredibly plausible - not that it's probable.

    LOL at some of the names in here.

    Ruiz is a particularly curious one, considering he was put on his arse by a 40 year old, shot to pieces and formerly retired Arreola.

    Ruiz would get his head knocked into row Z, but people will pick him for the win because they find him less offensive than Wilder and less likely to clash with their agendas.

    Mitch even thinks Briedis and Hunter and Okolie beat Wilder. And GEORGE agrees.

    Wilder demands and gets a third fight with Tyson Fury.

    Meanwhile, Briedis just offered a cruiserweight title shot to Jake Paul, who hasn't even faced a pro boxer yet.

    And Hunter dodges an eliminator with Hrgovic to fight Mike Wilson, another failed cruiserweight.

    But they're all beating Wilder, apparently. LOL

    The issue is Wilder doesn't have much of a resume. Its hard to gauge how good he is based on his competition. Okolie might well beat everyone Wilder has beaten thus far.
