    No he isn't FFS. Wlad is the clear number one in that category.

    The Wilder of 6/7 years ago was getting outboxed by Szpilka, rocked by Molina and getting black eyes from Duhaupas. What's so special about that version may I ask?

    Not suggesting he was a special fighter bar his power but Wilder at that time would have brutalised Wilder of today.

    You had me at, "Wilder is mentally finished."

    He is also a bum, a fraud, and physically finished. But yes, he is mentally finished.

    Its so hard to judge power. Povetkin was a sniper but i doubt he had the same type of power as bigger men. Some has to give in everything others rely on timing. Some has heavy hands and grind down their opposition.

    My favorite is corrie Sanders. His counter straight left is one of the deadliest punches ever. He had both power and timing while being a semi fatso. He even knocked down Vitali Klitschko like no other ever did.

    Now he certainly is a bum for the world level.

    If Povetkin was in his prime, i think he would have beaten Whyte in the rematch. Good little fighter. Declined a lot after the AJ fight and become really inconsistent.

    In what world was Parker ever Helenius level? Come on, are some of you this desperate to prop Wilder’s thin resume up?

    The guy got stopped by Washington, robbed Chisora, and lost to Duhuapas. Parker is a former world champion who beat Takam, Ruiz, Hughie, Chisora, and now Wilder. Simply has never been close.

    Always knew why he didn't want anything to do with Povetkin.

    He is only in it for the money now.
    He gave a truly bizarre interview in the ring, after losing to Parker.
    Didn't seem at all bothered by his performance or losing.
    The potential of huge Saudi pay days will delay his retirement & turn his head.
    He won't fight anywhere else now.
    In my opinion, for health & wellbeing reasons, he should definitely retire.

    Yes but Parkers fights with Hughie and Ruiz were close some think he won due to robberies.

    Think it was literally the other way around.

    Povetkin failed a drugs test. A shame because had the potential to be a great fight.

    Line up a few of the usual cans, cabbies or senior citizens and Wilder will look like a million dollars again.

    The Ruiz fight was very close but not far from a robbery.

    Any talk about the Hughie fight being a robbery for me is just stupid, Fury did very little and landed little of note. He’s a very negative boxer who is simply not aggressive enough to win rounds in big fights.

    would have been a ko of wilder within four rounds.
