    the mob ties thing is interesting, I wonder if it had anything to do with him not being able to go to the Olympics for Ireland

    Technically NoNeck is correct. Whilst in practice "Mob" is used to refer to the Mafia, the word originates from the term "mobster", which has a broader application specifically meaning a group engaging in organised crime.

    Fury is supposedly associated with Daniel Kinahan's organisation - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Kinahan

    He wouldn't do so good against the 70s, 80s, and 90s champs. Not entirely sure about Wlad either.

    His best wins are by far against Deontay, who is a great puncher with ok skills and a tremendous heart.

    Foreman, Frazier, Ali, Lewis, Holy, 1992 Bowe, Tyson, Holmes...can we compare Wilder to them as an overall fighter?

    I say no.

    I'm the weirdo whom thinks Kenny Norton would have beaten him at least once out of three.

    Depending on the era they might have actually given him a lobotomy.

    He would call them dossiers and wankers.

    They wouldn’t know what he was talking about so it wouldn’t amount to much.
