    Joe Frazier died before they gave him a statue.

    Of all people, Ricky Hatton should be the last person poking fun at someone for getting KOd...
    Wasn't he the guy laying there with his mouth open and arms outstretched staring up at the lights like a fish out of water? I almost stopped watching boxing because I was so embarrassed for him...
    And not to mention "featherfisted" Floyd made him look pretty ridiculous as well.
    If my kid ever told me wanted to box I would sit him down and force him to watch a highlight reel of Hatton getting KTFO over and over before he was sure

    Awful statue. It makes him look about seventy years old.

    Anyway, isn't there already a statue to this guy that he commissioned himself several years ago? How many more statues can Tuscaloosa have of this windmilling dosser, and how much wind power do they generate for the local grid?

    Wilder is the hardest puncher in boxing history.
    I would not comment on the monument; there are all kinds of monuments.

    I doubt Ernie Shavers would agree with Wilder being the hardest puncher in boxing history

    If anyone can make fun of people getting ko’d it should be Hatton.

    They put up a really bad statue of Lucille Ball near her hometown in upstate NY. Fortunately they replaced it with a more realistic one.

    Earnie Shavers didn't knock out a lot of guys. Wilder only failed to stop the World Champ, who Wilder also dropped four times.

    Nobody is the best forever.

    Someone better always comes along.

    Wilder was better.
