    Wilder has doubled or tripled Mitchell's accomplishments already. Not a fair comparison. Wilder would go down with the Grants and ****ey's if he were to fall off.

    The only thing he's accomplished more is winning a title, and in this era of boxing all it takes is being matched carefully and having the right management behind you.

    And the grants and ****eys are just one step above Mitchell, which isn't much.

    Well Moorer won 8 of the first 9 rounds and was a short, chinny, blown up light heavy who got ****y and paid for it. Wilder may well be as chinny as everyone says e is but if he didn't fight like an idiot he would almost certainly outbox 90s George to a wide UD.

    You're gonna count the Schulz decision as a loss for George but then not count the Briggs one as a win? :huh let's be consistent at least.

    Stewart was a solid win as well.

    Mitchell was never top ten. Co oney and grant reached top 3 and were rated top ten for multiple years. They're worlds apart.

    Exactly WHICH performance of comeback Foreman was impressive? He looks like sh** in every fight. Lost half of the fights. He ducked the IBF mandated rematch vs. Schulz ("I won't fight that guy again! They can keep their belt").

    Comeback Foreman was a disgrace. We woudln't be having these threads if only Foreman didn't land that single lucky hand that found Moorer's jaw to knock him out in the 10th. His entire "comeback" was pathetic, cringeworthy and hyped up by American media.

    If you look at it objectively is a sad joke -- and speaks volumes about corrupt boxing organizations and the sub-average state of HW boxing in the 90s.

    :deal

    Wilder would be yet another body on Foreman's highlight reel of KOs.

    Yeah, given the shots Molina caught him with, it's kind of an insult to Big George to say that he couldn't get Wilder out of there. George was a tank. And I wouldn't call Morrison and Holyfield's victories 'easy' either.

    No. Wilder has a severe glass jaw and is hyped beyond reality

    Maybe. Depends on if he gasses or gets ****y/lazy like moorer did. Damn that was dumb.
