Was big zo! Coulda been hw champion he said https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/2115...arring-partner-wladimir-klitschko-david-haye/
He also said this recently This content is protected What a pathetic truly wretched embarrassment he is levelling completely baseless accusations of cheating against Usyk now.
I will never grow tired of watching him get baptized and I hope I get to see him get brutally KO'd and humiliated on his own soil many more times
Usyk would win every round, but I don't see how this fight every happens with at least two fights with Fury and mandos ahead.
He doesn't deserve a shot at a true king like Usyk. He didn't even deserve a second or third shot at redemption against Fury after getting taken to slick school by Fury's cherrypicked inactive drug-ravaged ghost in the first fight and getting beaten like dog in the rematch. His have gloves, won't travel ass should be 0-3 on his own soil against Fury and his CV is full of more tin cans than the Heinz soup factory. I hope he never gets another title shot but the fact that he is still ranked #1 by the WBC coming off brutal back to back stoppage/KO losses on his own soil, only one round of which was competitive, just goes to show you how much they rigged their rankings in order to keep the gravy train rolling.
Haye said this about Wilder in the same article: “I truly think he is the hardest punching heavyweight ever, I know that maybe sounds like an exaggeration. I got hit by Wilder in sparring. I’ve been hit by Wladimir Klitschko, on the chin with 10 ounce gloves on. There was more effect from Wilder hitting me on the top of the head, with 18 ounce gloves on and I was wearing a head guard – and it wasn’t even clean. After that, I remember thinking, ‘This guy is going to do something.’ He was wild and he was all over the place. . . but the power.”
If he says Alonzo Butler was the hardest in sparring, then that's who was the hardest in sparring. It's not like Wilder has said 50 different guys were and he names someone different all the time. People still go on and on about how dangerous Roy "Tiger" Williams was in sparring. And he didn't knock out anyone of note and lost to Richard Dunn.
You see this kind of answer all the time. Rydell Booker was recently asked who his best opponent was and his answer was Uriah Grant: a 30-17 journeyman on a 2 loss streak who he beat, rather than the obvious names who dominated him (Toney, Pulev, Hrgovic, Wallin etc.) Wilder's toughest sparring partner by some distance was obviously Wlad but if Wilder gives Wlad that credit then he's potentially putting Wlad above himself. So instead he mentions a fringe journeyman who only a minority of hardcore fans have heard of. Wilder's line that "sometimes the best fighters don't become champions" also mirrors his current self-perception: he sees himself as the best, but he's not a champion. There's very likely a racial angle here too. Just as Fury allegedly loaded his gloves with metal objects and the outcome of Fury-Usyk depends on who "cheats the hardest", Wilder would be averse to giving Wlad credit for similar reasons.
Should have given him a long count and let Fury finish beating the devil out of him. the exorcism wasn't complete.
