    At least we'd be spared the: "I’m not a 12-round fighter..."

    ...Not relevant.

    Wilder is a big chicken legged bum, Foreman will take his head off, alcoholic Fury took his head off, Foreman will kill him.
    Zelenoff tko is is his best win
    Wilder should be embarrassed to suggest he’d be anything more than a stain on the seat of Marvis Fraziers shorts.

    Wilder is not garbage. Think of everyone Liston beat. It's no stretch of the imagination to think of Wilder beating them and by brutal KO.

    Wilder hasn’t beaten anyone of note to garner this kind of respect. A very mediocre boxer in Ortiz is his best win. That doesn’t mean anything. Some of you fall in love with the power but the ability to deliver it is far more Importsnt when discussing the best of the best. Shavers also had world beating power, but he had more skill then Wilder and he didn’t have enough to get past a ton of fighters. If wilder wasn’t coddled his whole career he would have been exposed years ago. Managers are careful to keep the the O for the fighters. I don’t think it’s fathomable he beats all of All of Listons opponents

    Foreman in 2. AJ just wasn’t good enough to beat him. Simple.

    Why does it all come back to Liston with you?

    I'm not sure Wilder beats Machen or Folley. Williams is a 50/50 fight.

    Thats all it boils down too and the usual suspects will try every angle to slip past the fact
