Plenty of guys without belts have better resumes than Wilder though. Especially prior to the four belt era. Jerry Quarry has better wins...
If that was the case you should be able to point to issues when he was in his prime but you can't All these issues didn't surface until Jones was...
Neither did Louis but he was still kayoed by Schmelling and dropped multiple times. On balance it seems like he's the one with the chin issues I...
That's not the version of Jones were using though. If his chin was so bad it's unthinkable that it was a complete non issue for 14 years
There's no evidence for Peter's boogeyman status though. He didn't have any wins of note pre Wlad so we have very little to go on.
Sure it's near Fury especially if you take the view that Wilder is no better than his actual resume suggests. Young, Quarry, Bobick, Clark, Cobb,...
Im not at all convinced Bonavena or Chuvalo hit harder than Beterbiev opponents like Callum Smith or Yarde. Even Johansson failed to stop plenty...
Plenty of greats have lost to terrible opponents at that age, it's generally what happens if you continue fighting at that age rather than...
I would favor him over all 4, how would he lose to the likes of Chuvalo or Bonavena?
At a certain point age is an excuse for losing. Plenty of guys would be favored over 40 something versions of most greats And people are...
They didn't happen when Beterbiev was 42, inactive and hadn't scored a win in over 2 years. Benavidez is by far the more compelling fight at this...
Many of the fighters ranked over him historically who would lose are much smaller men who wouldn't be heavyweights by today's standards
Norton without the Ali win would have a resume not far off Tyson Fury and above Kabayel. It would be good by the standards of todays division
Of course not.
By that logic many fighters today would be more skilled than Ali due to progression of the sport
