    Joey twelve went life and death with chisora whyteleafe Joshua level guys

    Joyce showed how a top heavy deals with a feather fisted bum like Parker. Wilder will sleep him whenever he likes.

    It shows how negative a lot of boxing fans are stuck being

    Wilder- Parker, Joshua-Wallin, Dubois-Miller, Makhmudov- Kabayel << that's 4 good fights on 1 card.

    Yeah it baffles me how highly Wilder is rated. Even this version of Parker that Joyce battered round the ring would definitely be at least his second best win and arguably his best.

    At HW, Punchers are always highly rated in historical terms. Wilder might just be the hardest of them all.

    Wilder v Parker is the boxing equivalent of Arsenal v Norwich City, Parker is crap.

    Parker's a bit better than that, maybe someone mid table like Crystal Palace.

    If all the fights at this event are completed then it will be the best boxing event for years and a day you will remember.

    Personally, I will never forget March 13th, 1999. First fight between Lewis and Holyfield. It was something special.

    Even if Wallin were to dominate and deserve the victory against AJ, he will never get the win. My guess is a narrow points win for AJ (115 - 113).

    Yeah I get that but even his power is unproven isn't it? I mean obviously clear that he hits really ****ing hard but what iron chinned fighters has he knocked out to justify the talk of him being the biggest puncher ever?

    Everything about Wilder is smoke and mirrors as far as I'm concerned and it's only cos he's American that he's been hyped and had his career managed the way he has.

    He gets far too much credit for the Fury trilogy imo which ultimately amounted to an undeserved draw and two one sided beatdowns with the exception of one round.

    Joshua stopping Povetkin early is a better show of power than anything Wilder did in the ring.

    I think Wilder has shown the difference in their power with common opponents, Brezeale especially.

    In terms of all round Boxing talent wise it's vice versa.

    Wilder struggled against the likes of Spzilka, Washington and Ortiz. If the likes Scroniers and Nichols can drop Parker, then Parker can hurt Wilder.

    A counter argument could be made with their fights against Molina (who hurt Wilder).

    Really? You’re going down that route? Why not see how Povetkin did against Wilder’s best ever wins. You’ll notice Povetkin stopped them faster than Wilder. Real talk.
