    lol! Have you seen Holmes arms are you blind? Liston had an 84 inch reach, his arms looked wierd which was part of the reason why his jab was so effective.

    Holmes' reach isn't listed anywhere as being 84 inches but the 81 inches he's accredited to having was still a very long reach back in the day. He did have a great jab though; Manny Steward claimed it was better than Lewis's and 2nd only to Wlad's.

    Hunter is s certainly no Usyk and doesn't need to be to beat Wilder.

    He got caught a lot by Povetkin when they fought.

    Of course he does not need to beat Wilder to become No1 draw in US HW pro boxing scene.
    Not to fight vs Hrgovic, being spanked by cruiserweight then in prime shape Usyk and getting gifted ! " draw " with 40 y.o small HW in Povetkin's ghost already is enough to be big DAMN big draw.

    I like Cris, but he’s got no right hand no foot work no head movement. Joe parries and slips a bunch of arm punches, gets inside and torques that hook from the floor. It’s basically a 22 against a 12 gauge, Clubber Lang said it best… prediction? What’s my prediction? Pain

    Stylistically Hunter is all wrong gor Wilder. Plus I thought Hunter should of beaten Povetkin 8-4 i scored it. Pobetkin was pre covid still one of most dangerous and best HWs in the divison as he showed against Whyte.
