Is Deontay Wilder an ATG? What are your criteria for SHW? Was Pacquiao or Klitschko closer to prime, when they fought Mayweather and Fury respectively? Rank these fighters as ATGs P4P: Canelo, Klitschko, Pacquiao and Wilder. Who fought Klitschko closer to prime: Puritty or Fury? Cheers
No. _______________________ Super big guy. _______________________ Probably even, since neither were but I'd say Pacquiao. _______________________ Pac Canelo/Klit Wilder _______________________ Purity.
LOL 245-250+, height is irrelevant Pac, Pac is an absolute phenom and the things he continue to do he shouldn't be able to. A post prime Pac is still hell for damn near everyone. He definitely was post prime though. Pac, Wlad, Canelo.......................Wilder need not even be mentioned in this list. Wlad is far higher as an ATG than Canelo (there are precious few HW's I'd rank over him H2H, there is a wasteland of JMWs and MWs I'd rank over Canelo. Puritty. Wlad was not prime of body or skillset when he fought Fury. Vs. Puritty, he had reflexes, power, speed. Obviously concerning skill set he was a work in progress but he was still an Olympic gold medalist so he wasn't devoid of skill..........his chin and durability failed him against Ross.
Change the number to 240, and that's my thoughts exactly. It's called super heavyweight, not super tallheight.
Neither Klitschko nor Pacquiao was in their prime when they fought the boxers you mentioned. Actually Klitschko was kinda getting knocked out by Lamon Brewster when he should have been in his prime age-wise. But i don't think this takes much from Fury's victory over old Wlad since that was the version he could fight at the time (also Wlad's style is not something that easily diminishes with age, since he relied on his size and reach advantage too much). Unlike Mayweather who picked his opponents mostly when they were past their prime. I kinda get the hate Fury get because he ****ed Wlad over rematch, he speaks non sense everyday (just to make headlines or for pure fun), hell IMHO his resume is weaker than AJ but that doesn't change the fact he is the most talented heavyweight out there. His movement, ring iq is pure incredible. I even remember reading Emmanuel Stewart saying that Fury is the most skilled heavyweight he ever saw or something along those lines.
I don't hate Fury man, in fact I enjoy listening him more than any other fighter alive, massively entertaining guy. I just hate his ignorant fanboys. Who do you think was further removed from their prime, out of Klitschko and Pacquiao? Obviously I agree neither were prime.
