If Wilder gets to 40-0, that'll put him #3 all-time behind Holmes (48-0) and Rocky (49-0)

There's some truth to this for sure. Obscure talents are definitely more likely to get attention and thus big fights now than before. But a lot of the same problems still plague them(Good backing, ducked because risk/reward etc.)

Although it's somewhat funny because Wlad still moved up faster than Wilder did.

 

Wilder did that on purpose BC of the Klitchos..BOTH threat....he lucked out BC he spared with Wlad and knew his limits....

He also grew confident BC Joshua took care of Wlad.....

Joshua is going to smash Wilder I will bet anything on it..IF he gets by Ortiz but Wilder gets his huge payday..TWICE.

 

i suppose now is a good time to say ortiz looks like riddick bowe, larry holmes, and george foreman had a kid. but, i think that actually...he may be older than all 3 !

 

Good points.

EXCEPT age.....

 

this doublechin guy is a f'n revisionist idiot...

 

Do I need to go over this again like with your comparison to Foreman? Compare the time span in which Wlad reached the same number of fights. Contrary to what you believe. THAT MATTERS.

Wilders handlers steered him clear of guys like Puritty. They wouldn't put him in with guys like Sanders and Brewster either, not unless a lot of money was at stake. False. He wasn't that badly hurt against Williamson. It wasn't a heavy knockdown. Maybe you should go back and watch the fight... But since you want to use that against Wlad, why not the knockdown to Sconiers that Wilder suffered?

 

Are you aware how stupid you sound? Sanders, Williamson, or even Brewster would have been the best guys Wilder. Amatuer record and a TV deal now make some difference? You're too all over the place with your silly attempts and logic.

 

Klitchko did not have a southpaw sparring partner he was also in his early 20's....

You are TRYING to use biased points...

I've covered why Klitchko lost many times on here....

Wilder KNEW he needed more development... He struggled with Szpilka at about 225 didn't he?

Szpilka does not defeat a prepared Sanders....

Wilder's record is different BC he carefully mapped it out.

Im not sure what your suggesting but amateur wins have no meaning to pro...they help but let's not keep making excuses for Wilder.

 

I never thought of it like that. I guess it creates situations where the fighters cannot ignore the fans. Bowe didn't want that fight with Lennox, and I don't blame him. I think Lennox style with the right would stop Bowe..Would have been interesting to see even Hagler v. Hearns in 1985 on twitter.
