    I didn't have Wardley winning a round

    He is a good athlete with some explosiveness but not a good boxer

    Congrats on the win

    There are no similarities beyond both being British and explosive, they fight completely different

    Wilder is a way better comparison than Conor Benn.

    You're right, Conor Benn is way more skilled than Fabio.

    Also has way better stamina and conditioning. Wardley is lucky Huni had no power otherwise he would have been stopped inside 6 rounds. He’s also lucky he’ll get to fight the winner of Pulev vs Hunter for the vacant WBA World Title eventually lol.

    Michael Hunter should beat Wardley easily

    Better than Wilder though because he actually fights others at his level, whereas Wilder was all about fixed fights, former middleweights, badly shot fighters, and the medically unfit.

    Wardley is honorable, whereas Wilder was a fraud train.

    But yeah, you said 90% right.

    Yes. Only comparing them in as much as being dangerous all fight, even if they don't win rounds.

    Not sure about that actually, I have a feeling Hunter hits way harder than Huni.

    My thoughts exactly. Crude but explosive and dangerous - just much less of an idiot. Great to have him in the division.

    Wardley is even more lucky Huni wasn't wearing Cleto Reyes gloves as much and as often as he was touching his face. Thats where gloves like that really help. Makes all the little punches hit so much harder.

    Fury, Ortiz, Stiverne and Parker aren't at Wilders level?
    I understand your overall point though
