    Remember, Ali wasn't the greatest trainer ...so would you draw any conclusions from that...as an example?

    Machen had more of a chance than the timid, too orthodox, "don't think outside of the box" Folley, and the severely limited Williams...w/no defense or chin.

    Wilder is the biggest fraud in Boxing History. Posing as a HW all time great, when in fact he has no ounce of skill. Couldnt set up a 1-2 jab combination to save his life.

    Spot on. I'd say the same about him hitting hard too.

    He's a very hard puncher. But the hardest ever? Nobody thought that when Wlad was icing everyone. And he was around when Wilder was.

    Dillian Whyte is a British-level heavyweight.

    That is a surprisingly unpopular opinion at the moment.

    Not to anyone with a brain who isn’t a Matchroom hardcore.

    That is what I thought.
    But then again there are probably a lot of "Matchroom hardcores", and there are some good knowledgeable posters on this classic forum who strongly reject Whyte being described as British level.

    You don't know how many times I've said this. And I said before any of his
    losses.

    I wouldn't say your opinion on Whyte is unpopular. It is more a case of your supporting arguments to have been found wanting. And, the reasons for why this is the case, have been spelt out to you in the relevant thread.
