    lol someone here actually tried to say Baer was more skilled than Wilder. Wilder's admittedly not very skilled but he looks like Greb compared to Baer who didn't even know what a jab was. If Wilder ducked into a punch that wouldn't have hit him otherwise from a guy four inches shorter than him, this forum would never let him live it down.

    Good thing with Baer's defense, Tyson wouldn't need 6 rounds.

    Yeah I credit Baer for his power and chin but never for his fundamentals. It’s visible on film at times where he’s literally swinging like a wild man.
