    Saying youve been the "biggest Wilder fan" is like saying youre the biggest movie fan cus you love Fast and Furious series. There was no substance to that man's career. He had good theatrics and KOs over journeymen level fighters but his claim to fame was a controversial draw over a Fury that brutally stopped him twice.

    B0MB ZQUAD will be known as BUM ZQUADS where his peak will be the journeymen highlights and that is all

    A massive fraud who exploted to the max the ignorance and naivety of casual boxing fans.

    He made a ton of money, so good for him.

    It shows why boxers pad a record to be honest, if Wilder took on anyone of value early he would probably be broke right now, instead he built a 40-0 record knocking out tomato cans then cashed in.

    Not if most of them were enforced by alphabet bodies as a mandatory defences. And he still managed to defeat all number 1 contenders.

    My bad, thought you were talking about Wilder, any idea who he’s mandatory’s were? Most Wilders look to be voluntarys.

    Aleksander Povetkin was his first mandatory in mid 2016, but he got popped on PEDs. Then, Bermane Stiverne was his mandatory in late 2017. After that it was Dominic Breazeale in mid 2019. And that's it.

    & Stiverne on the back of 2 years off over Whyte who was chasing the fight hard and ranked 1… plenty of politics behind the scenes to make that happen lol

    Actually I have not issue with a boxer padding his record and making easy money. Practically all boxers carry some padding in their resume. That is fine. After all it is not me the one up there being punched.

    If a fraud boxer like Wilder can get away with massive padding, more power to him.

    After all, Wilder has been suspect for a long time to knowlegable boxing fans. So no damage incurred. If somebody enjoys watching Wilders, Butterbean, "Creed" or the WWW, that is great. Just dont be fooled thinking that is the real thing.

    But what bothers me somehow is the obnoxious over hype from ignorant fanboys and biased mass media trying to sell us like legit a fraud.
