Wilder refused to fight Whyte, much less Takam! Takam is too much of a risk for Wilder, perhaps a rematch with Sconiers or Nichols? Wilder might fight Old Man Ortiz as long as Ortiz does not take his high blood pressure medicine, heart pills, they might allow Ortiz to use a walker to get to the ring, or a wheelchair...........won't allow him to use a cane.................Ortiz will be made to drink several bottles of very cheap wine, perhaps Ripple? He will not be allowed to train and will have to live in the alley without food and shelter.............hell.............if Ortiz were to look good in training, Breazeale is on standby.............yes, Breazeale, the one who got knocked out by Joshua and is owned by Haymon!
This is true, no ranked boxer has ever been able to trouble Wilder. But then there is the world beaters like Molina and Spilka.
How much respect do you think I have for you as a poster and boxing fan first and foremost? A percentage guess?
Takam likely pushes him to points. Takam's not only tough, he's crafty and game as well, and has a ton of experience against top level operators like Joshua, Parker and Povetkin. Wilder might win if he can keep Takam on the outside but this is one fight that has upset written all over it.
Wilder has always avoided decent top-ten heavyweights like Carlos Takam. But Takam is getting older now and he's taken a lot of punishment against Joshua and in other fights, so I'm not sure he would still beat Wilder.
Takam would give Wilder fits. He's not so easy to land on, closes the distance well and has good combinations up close. I think he has a good chance of beating Wilder and stylistically, would probably be a harder fight for Wilder than Ortiz.
I know. The sun don't shine if son don't shine eh, lmao. Let me guess, Breazeale and Martin give Wilder trouble and maybe even beat him too huh? Sad.
Why people can't see that Takam is a legit test despite him being in competitive match ups with Povetkin, Parker and Joshua is beyond me. What the **** does the guy have to do before he gets the respect he clearly deserves?
People will just use the old line of "he lost every fight that counted" and ignore who well he did in some of those losses. Ray Mercer was another fighter who lost all the big ones, but was competitive nonetheless. In fact Takam like Mercer is tough, durable, but lacks the real fire power and work rate to beat the very best just like Mercer.
