    It shows just how far the American Heavyweights have fallen on the global scale when they are wetting themselves over someone like Wilder.
    Very sad.

    Wilder in an anti classic battle between someone who really shouldn't have been fighting anyone vs someone who really hasnt fought anyone.

    Do you put **** on Deonkey Windmillers dick before riding it or just do a dry run?

    Oh brother, stuck up Boxing fans acting ho hum after a really good performance?
    What else is new?

    Remember when the NJ Boxing Commissioner thought he could take Tony Galento and his opponent at the same time?

    Guess this is why the UFC brand is so good. They seem to know how to enjoy a performance, and respect the performances, without it having to be an Ali-Foreman level bout.

    It’s sad.
    Boxing fans are going to cry and moan about Wilder all the way up to the Joshua fight. It’s absurd.

    I would like to see if his seek and destroy tactics work against a live body. So far, it's just largely been a farce. The closet thing to a real match was his first bout with an already old Stiverne, a guy who himself never really beat anyone. I am willing to give Deontay a bit of a reprieve on the criticism because of the good opponents he lined up but who pissed hot.

    Wilder, although that says more about how far past it Joe was rather than Wilder's ability.

    Wilder's most recent fight was just a disgraceful mismatch.
    A fat out-of-shape old guy who hadn't fought at all in 2 years and hadn't looked at all good in well over 3 years, thrown in with a fit active puncher who'd already beaten him one-sidedly years ago.

    These types of matches aren't something to be greeted with leaps of joy.

    I was very pleased Wilder took out Styverne.I was also very puzzled how Stiverne deserved his ranking.
    He looked flabby in there and hopefully this is the last time we will have to have him foisted on us.

    Not sure why more people don’t acknowledge this when bringing up his resume.

    Mike Tyson’s early KO’s, many against nobodies, are some of the most iconic sporting moments of the 20th century.

    A fanstastic exciting KO is what it is.
