    Bermain Stiverne was WBC champ before Wilder and LIVES in Vegas and I'm pretty sure nobody did or would recognize him.

    I think it's funny that the OP immediately recognized Wilder (HOLY SHITE IT'S DEONTAY WILDER!!!) and then says no one recognized him. And bases this on a short walk.

    Absolutely no way Wlad walks through a bustling Vegas casino and doesn't get noticed.

    And alts? I don't think I could ever care enough about what a bunch of online people think about my opinion to want to create multiple accounts :asz:

    Just shows how little people think of Wilder, even in his home country.

    Again Nobody wouldn't notice Wlad or Joshua either. They're irrelevant here until they conquer America. Beating lower level Americans don't get you noticed here. The only way to do that is to fight Wilder. And you cared enough to create this alt so go figure.

    Correct. I created an alt 5 years ago and use it to proliferate my highly controversial opinions.

    Is like that story where Wilder said that during the 2008 olympics, people were asking him for autographs since they thought that he was LeBron James.

    You knew who he was and you didn't run up to him and say anything. But you assume no one else knew who he was?

    I've been to and covered a lot of fights and followed boxers around at events while they were going from one part of the arena to another. And from one event to another. In restaurants. In arenas. In casinos. Even a weigh-in on a public beach with thousands of the people there (a Fernando Vargas fight).

    And just because someone doesn't run up to a fighter doesn't mean they have no idea who he is.

    In fact, most fight fans who see a boxer in public don't bum rush them asking for photos. They tend to treat them as anyone else, and may walk up to them at some point to say they're a fan or something.

    But it's rarely like groupies at a concert. Especially if the fighter is just walking somewhere with friends.

    I once walked behind George Foreman from one end of the United Center in Chicago to another with thousands of people there, and nobody ran up to him except one woman at the end who asked to snap a photo with him. I didn't jump to the assumption that the other 19,999 people had no clue who he was.

    Again, you knew who he was, and you didn't do anything, either, except follow him around for five minutes watching everything he did.

    Don't you just hate it when people make up stories?

    I remember a bit back some idiot made up a story over his mum dreaming of having sexy fun time with Muhammad Ali's gigantic hands....apparently his hands are that massive they have their own post code....

    Do you recall that idiot by any chance?

    I think you are on to something, wilder is known for beating up women and the mentally disabled, I dont think anyone would be in a hurry to talk to him
