And he was still 3 inches shorter... More like Ali's size, albeit with a longer reach if that figure is to be believed. Terrell in that case comes closer, just that he didn't have anything near Wilder's power.
Don't know why people go crazy over the modicum of success 214-229 lbs Wilder has had so far. 6'3, 210 lbs Haye looked better until he ran into peak Wlad just 8-9 years ago. Some years before that Toney and RJJ won title fights. Toney was way heavier than Wilder in some of those fights, but that was fat. So why is Wilder all of a sudden seen as someone who turns perceptions upside down?
With tougher whiskers than we initially thought. I'll admit that Wilder is starting to grow on me. He's got heart and a punch and he's willing to use both.
I've not researched his record enough to answer that. Yeah I think 210-220 you can compete with anyone. Below 200 I just don't think the fights would even get made any more.
