Deontay wilder V Mid 80s Contenders?

He can win most of em but he def drops some. Can see Spinks out smarting him for sure. Douglas has a shot at his best. Wins more then he losses but doesn’t clean the division.

 

I have him losing to roughly all of them. He could land one and get lucky against a James Broad or Joe Hipp? Wilder could stop Bert Cooper on the nite after Cooper snort a busload of coke.
Wilder is an alright guy but his loss to Fury cemented what was already evident on video. He is still very raw. He doesnt apply skill. Perhaps there's a lack of coordination because of his height. That is what makes Fury unique.
In Wilder's defense he did start late at boxing. He was able to excelled against the Oaftards that go for heavyweight boxers these days.

 

Well, I would say...
Witherspoon probably beats Wilder. But he may well be successful against the others.
Douglas has a good chance, and many of the others have a chance, too.

 

I pick Wilder over Damiam and Dokes. e is an underdog in the other fights but of course has the puncher's chance. I defintely see him losing against Spinks and Spoon though

 

The jury is still out for me on both Wilder and Fury (Joshua too) and i'm in no rush. If Fury rolls Joshua with ease or looks vastly impressive then Wilder's stocks rise (somewhat) again. If Joshua beats fury reasonably comfortably then both his and Wilder's stocks drop. The jury is still very much out. I want to see how Wilder comes back and how Fury goes next couple of bouts.

If forced to guess he'd probably lose a couple of those.

 

That’s it in a nutshell JT. Posters are now making all these threads about active fighters vs greats of the past.

You can’t judge a fighter until he has retired.

I have seen too many fighters overrated by the public until they were given a proper test and failed it.

Cheers Legend.

 

That's it mate. Joshua, Wilder and Fury have some tough matches ahead, career defining fights. Of course we have two quite important Fury - Wilder matches behind us but there still plenty of meat and potatoes to come.

 

Fury will stick to boxing against Joshua and win on points. He won't fight him like against Wilder II

 

Very likely.

 

Funny hpw quickly the Wallin fight was forgotten.
