    Sure Larsen has fought some bums. But has Wilder ever fought anyone that's rated top 200 by boxrec?

    Larsen was supposed to fight Solis, who pulled out, so he demolished Jason Gavern faster than anyone before him, a decent journeyman who's fought some solid opponents. Even though Larsen is unproven, he's trying to step it up, Wilder will just continue fighting bums. Why? Because Wilder is a glass jawed hype job who's gonna get KTFO'd if he ever steps it up.

    When adult bums are trying to get their bum children to stop misbehaving they say "If you don't behave Deontay Wilder will come and get you." That ususally works.

    An old post but you should get the idea

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    America not having a successful HW for some time. Possible reasons?
    America have not had a dominant world champ for some years now and after looking at the current scene, I started looking at possible reasons.

    Possibly Americas beat HW prospect at this time is Deontay Wilder who is 20-0 (20KOs). Looks impressive, but who has he fought?

    Now look at how much tougher the European HWs are matched on the way up

    Tyson Fury in 17 fights has fought undefeated 16-0 Pajkic, undefeated 14-0 Chisora, undefeated 13-0 Nascimento, undefeated 12-0 Power and McDermott twice

    Derek Chisora in 17 fights has fought undefeated 14-0 Fury, undefeated 16-0 Helenius, D Williams and S Sexton twice

    Robert Helenius in 17 fights has fought L Brewster, A Levin, S Peter, S Liakhovich, D Chisora and undefeated 12-0 G Tony

    Could it be because of soft matching on the way up, why American HWs have tended to crumble when facing decent European opposition who seem to be matched alot tougher on the way up?

    What do you think?
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    Since this post D Chisora has fought D Haye, V Klitschko and signed to fight W Klitschko which shows how he is willing to take chances

    T Fury has also beaten M Rogan

    Then you have other HWs like Price who has beaten McDermott, A Harrison, S Sexton, undefeated 15-0 Dallas and is fighting Skelton next.

    Then look at 17-0 Kubrat Pulev who in his 17 fights has beaten 27-0 Ustinov, 32-1 Dimitrenko, D Guinn, P Vidoz, M Sprott, M Skelton in his 5th fight!!!, he was beating a 17-2 fighter in his third fight.



    Wilder has had more fights and should have gained some experience from those and maybe because he has had it so much easier than the above has been preserved a bit, but I dont think he has fought at a level as high as these fighters above. Just look at the names on Furys resume

    To be fair they all turned pro about the same time, its just that Wilder has been busier fighting more bums than the other two.

    Although you could argue that Wilder has fought worse bums than the other two; they all need to step it up.

    I think Price probably has more potential than Fury or Wilder, but we need to see a meaningful fight from all three of them.

    A lot of Brits get a hard on for hating on black americans. If Deontay was a Brit he would be the next coming.

    These same fools were claiming shot Chagaev was going to be a huge step up for Fury and would make him a legit top heavy when Chagaev couldn't even hurt Kerston Manswell who Deontay absolutely ****ing killed in 1 round. These 3 are all still untested prospects. Fury has fought the best opposition but anyone with eyes can also see he's clearly not as good a Price and Wilder. He can't take a punch and he doesn't have a punch himself.

    The better question is: are Fury and Price on the level of Seth Mitchell?

    Why do people talk about Deontay Wilder like he's something, when you've got Seth Mitchell, a more athletic specimen who is also an entertaining fighter?

    None of these 3 are ready to step up just yet but I fancy price to do the best out of the three tbh

    He can't take a punch? He's been on his arse once,got up unhurt and smashed Pajkic to bits.
    Infact he's rarely been troubled by punches,never seen him with baby giraffe legs.
    Wilder got punched on his arse aswell,by a 400 lb midget.

    No, not even close. Wilder's a glass jawed fraud being built up on steady diet of stiffs so his management can then cash out with one big payday, where this JOKE will inevitably be starched early.

    Maybe on the level of Fury... but not on the level of Price (and no, I don't think Priice is near world level yet)

    He's the worst of the three, but yeah they're all about the same "level"

    Dude Pajkic is horrible, not only that he's featherfisted. Pajkic is slow, featherfisted, doesn't have a great chin, he's extremely sloppy and open, his main thing is to get in your face and keep punching and outhustling you with the pity pat shots. Pajkic fights out of Canada, being Canadian myself I've seen quite a few of his fights...... I'm very familiar with the guy and he's a ****ing bum with like a 20% KO rate. I've never seen him even hurt somebody as he punches about as hard as a HW Malignaggi yet he had Fury on ***** street, holding on for dear life to survive the round. If that's not evidence of a complete glass jaw I don't know what is. :deal:deal:deal

    25-0 (25 KO)
    Promoted by Golden Boy
    Olympic Medal Winner

    yet he never appears on any big PPV as a prelim fight (that kind of promotes him you know?)

    sometime he can be seen on "fox deportes" as an undercard fight :lol:

    next scheduled fight 2012-12-15 TBA :-(

    and all this is because he is soooo good? morons :lol:
