Cro Cop had a pretty good amateur boxing background... Faced some top European talent at the time and topped it off at 48-8. Anyways, we can only compare amateur careers since Cro Cop never ventured into the pro ranks. But in a purely amateur sense, I see nothing absurd about claiming Cro Cop could beat Wilder amateur for amateur h2h. Cro Cop certainly has more crisp and textbook striking than Wilder... That's for sure.
Well done, you know your fighters. Cro Cop was indeed a boxer that transitioned to MMA; I was hoping to unleash that factoid should some of the usual suspects come stirring sht. I rate Filipovic's hands highly. He outstruck Miller with the hands imho, and Jarrell was touted as a credible threat to Wilder by some. He also imho beat the great Andy Hug, largely with fists, which is no mean feat.
Wilder has made more money than 99.9% of MMA fighters he chose the right sport. The Wilder Browne comparisons are off. Wilder is a World Champion no easy feat.
In a boxing match he would send them all to the grave. And you all haters would be claiming that he's fighting bums because... well, because they are bums with no F idea about how to throw a punch.
In a boxing match he wins, MMA he loses. I do think someone of his dimensions could become a top MMA fighter though. I think there will be a "Jon Jones" for the HWs at MMA, who utilizes his height and reach perfectly to dominate.
Wake up dude. Deontay won an Olympic medal. Very rare for American male boxers for the last 3 decades. Travis Browne against the best HW on the planet. Your mental man.
When did I say anything about Wilder vs. Browne? I merely compared their athletic careers and remarked on the fact that Browne started training combat sports later than Wilder did, also mention that Browne has faced WAY better opposition within the realm of his own sport than Wilder has.. Go look up Wilders Olympic run... Nothing impressive about it at all. Work on your reading comprehension.... Wilder is a joke, best HW on the planet? PFFFFFFFT. Because he beat your guy Szpilka? LOL.
Anybody with experience in the ring can tell you that a guy with Wilder's physical structure and power is a nightmare to fight. He's be incredibly dangerous. Since you said it was a boxing match, he would wreck everyone.
I think so too. When a guy like Wilder, with his dimensions and athleticism, and particularly his power, can put it together, he's a nightmare for anyone.
You wake up moron. Wilder won I fight to get that Bronze and it was via count backs vs some Algerian. He then lost 7-1 to Clemente Russo and got eliminated. Russo then lost in the final to Chakhiev in probably the weakest 201 category in recent Olympic memory. I love all these boxing groupies who crap all over MMA but never done it or even tried boxing for that matter. They are just fan boys projecting. Wilder would get humiliated in MMA, he does not even a diverse boxing tool chest so how the Hell could he even train MMA?
Can you imagine someone like Werdum or Minakov slapping a knee bar on one of those twig legs of Deontey's Lol
