    1. Both are 33-0

    2. Both fight very frequently

    3. Both are titlists but not lineal in their divisions

    4. Both are KO machines (GGG, 30 KO's, Wilder 32 KO's)

    5. Both have iron jaws.

    6. Both are categorized as can crushers

    7. Both fighters are hated unfairly.

    He has a point. If you like GGG, there's no reason not to like Wilder.

    At least Wilder has a win over a defending champion.
     
  6. Yep, but fan boys will dismiss Wilder and give unwarranted credit to GGG's opponents.
    Both are in the same boat where they need a big name fighter to uplift their resumes. I haven't been to a Wilder fight, but Gennady is getting mad love on the west coast. A lot of Europeans and middle Eastern's in LA LA land.
    Hell the ese's and Crips were in their cheering for Gennady "Gangsta" Golovkin.

    Number 5 is not true. If Wilder has an Iron Jaw, so does Khan and Kirkland.:lol:

    For as many similarities, there are as many differences. Wilder doesn't have the pedigree of GGG. Golovkin had an incredible amateur resume. Golovkin is so much more fundamentally sound. GGG is well-rounded, equally powerful on each side. GGG does not denigrate his opponents. He does his talking in the ring. He is a class act all the way around, respecting his opponents before and after the fight. GGG is a role model. Did you see Wilder chase a little guy around his gym and try to kill him? GGG would never get himself into this kind of scenario. I just see them as very different people and fighters.

    if by similar you mean complete opposites, then absolutely!

    wilder is a useless bum.

    GGG is an avoided killing machine.

    Wilder took flush shots from the power punching Stiverne. The same Stiverne who easily knocked out the iron chinned but limited Chris Arreola.

    The same Arreola who ate Vitali's Klitschko's best shots for breakfast without ever going down..

    They are not similar at all... GGG is the clear #1 at his weight class, Wilder is a fraud and a paper champ. The real #1 at HW is Wlad. GGG is a skilled boxer puncher with solid defense and a good chin, Wilder is crude punching glass jawed joke.

    The fact that you think Wilder is hated because hes black is just as typical moron logic. Its as stupid as the idiots that think floyd gets booed and hated by fans because hes black.:patsch
