    Wlder hits harder in every universe, he's the hardest hitter ever.

    Of course he is. Ali was not a very skilled boxer, he relied a lot on his tremendous physical assets.

    The only kid here is you.

    Which great fighters has Wilder KO'd?

    Best tomato can crusher of all time but seems to have sucked in the idiot brigade.

    **** like this makes me so upset. Mayweather is the best ever. Fury is the best heavyweight ever. Wilder is the hardest puncher ever. Damn man, is there any marketing people WON'T fall for?

    It's not even like it's intelligent or deceptive marketing, the people saying it aren't even trying to be convincing and yet their snake oil is advertised so often that it's eventually bought without question.

    How about the clown claiming that Fury is more skilled than Ali?

    The sort of ignorance that makes this place unbearable at times.

    It does not matter who he beat, nobody claimed he was an ATG skill wise. All that matters is how hard he can hit, and nobody comes close to him in that department.

    I swear, people just judge aesthetics and at best body mechanics.

    It's all about the eye test with Wilder though.

    Foreman on the other hand:
    a) Stopped the granite chinned Chuvalo.

    b) Was the only man to stop Peralta at heavyweight, clearly carrying his power late into the 10th (could be various factors though).

    c) Made Wepner's orbital bone burst from inside out.

    d) Blew the inside of Moorer's mouth which required numerous stitches, and according to Atlas cracked his mouthpiece in half (the blows casual enough to warrant a fix claims from some)

    e) Holyfield, who faced Bowe, Lewis, Rahman, Moorer, Tyson, and Cooper, named him the hardest puncher he has ever faced, at one point during the fight wondering if George knocked all his teeth out.

    And he passess the eye test with flying colors, though rather than a dynamic puncher, it's all about the God-given heavy hands and bones with this one.

    Right? When Foreman smells blood in the water he seriously dials in

    Man I saw that. I hope its just trolling, but if they're serious, Ali's second fight with Norton shows Ali's ability has a boxer. That's Ali's full tool belt on display.

    Is this serious?? This is an overrated professional versus an amateur. The professional, Foreman, wins this comfortably.

    "It doesn't matter who he beat, nobody claimed he was an ATG skill wise".

    No you just claimed he's the most powerful puncher in human history :facepalm:


    That's like saying "it doesn't matter who he was racing against, he's the fastest runner I've ever seen".

    Competition is arguably THEE most important thing in the evaluating any part of any fighter. It's just as and sometimes more important than the eye test itself, which he fails miserably anyway. Wilder hasn't even proven he's a harder hitter than Zhang at this point.

    The fact you don't think competition is an important part in evaluating a fighters attributes explains a lot about yours and other posters thought processes. People say this fighter is the fastest fighter ever and he looks fast, so I guess it's true. People say this fighter is the strongest fighter ever and he looks strong, so I guess it's true:duh
