    Wilder is not in Joe Louis' class. Louis had class, Wilder has none................five voluntary title defenses in a row is a record that Wilder now has, he will keep fighting winos, refused to fight Vlad, refused to fight Parker, refused to fight Joshua, refused to fight Tyson Fury or Hughie Fury, refused to fight Ortiz, refused Ruiz, ad infinitum........

    One is around six two, known for throwing crisp combination shots on the inside, a little flat footed, a little weak on the outside but skilled enough to throw lights out punches against taller opponents.

    The other is a lanky wild swinging brawler with huge raw power but very little discipline in the ring.

    I'd say there are definite comparisons to be made with certain fighters from each respective era (Povetkin and Max Baer spring to mind) but a direct one isn't it.
