It's definitely not as good as the 1970s or 1990s. But personally (and I'm guessing here), I tend to believe this current era will be viewed more...
The fact remains that since the early 80s, only 2 heavyweights aside from Wilder have made 10 or more title defenses: Larry Holmes & Wladimir...
I believe he was ranked top 10 by Ring at the conclusion of 1997 and 1998, the latter being the year Golota faced him.
Witherspoon?
A lucky punch, eh? :smoking:
Yeah, they really need to settle this unfinished business, so hopefully that Feb 22 date being targeted is smooth sailing without any unforeseen...
I know you and I have long had disagreement on the issue of the lineage. I'm in no way claiming to be the final authority on this (or anything),...
Did I not properly address this? (Aside from my mistake in overlooking the Ernie Terrell situation).
Is this directed at me?
Some historical perspective on Deontay Wilder becoming just the 6th heavyweight champion in history to make 10 or more consecutive title defenses....
Technically speaking, Fury is -138 at this moment.
If AJ wins, no doubt you will see some of these excuses floating around, but there is a flip-side to this coin as well. :smoking:
Oh how I miss the days of Larry Merchant conducting post fight interviews.
