    British is a nationality with all different races in it. So how you can make a comment about a whole nationality of people of all different races is beyond me and came across bad by you

    That seems an honest post. the HW division is so much tougher in Europe now.
    This is what I was saying about how we expect HWs in Europe to step up and prove themselves alot earlier in their career.

    Even a fighter like McDermott who Price and Fury has beaten has been thrown in tougher with having to fight Fury twice, Price, Williams twice, Skelton, Gammer, P Reid, Olubamiwo and is next fighting undefeated D Whyte. McDermott has had mixed results but not been a journeyman.

    D Haye in 24 fights had been world class as a CW winning the WBC WBA WBO titles and then the WBA HW title

    Its just tougher for HWs in Europe

    Quality post, the likes of Mitchell, Wilder and Malik Scott are top American prospects, but between the three of them, they have almost 100 fights and the best win I can find is either old Owen Beck, Timur Ibragimov? Look at some of the best European prospects, Price, Fury and Pulev, between them they have around 70 fights and those include wins against former and future world title challengers and other decent prospects.

    Take a look at the Ring Magazine top 10 HW's

    Wladimir Klitschko, Champion
    Vitali Klitschko
    Alexander Povetkin
    Tomasz Adamek
    Eddie Chambers
    Alexander Dimitrenko
    Robert Helenius
    Denis Boytsov
    Ruslan Chagaev
    Chris Arreola
    Kubrat Pulev


    Of the 11 fighters there, only 3 are based in America. Both champions are based in Germany, and that list doesn't include former WBA champ Haye who is semi retired.

    I would happily pick David Price or Kubret Pulev to beat Wilder and Mitchell, and I would back Tyson Fury as well.

    It's not a nationality thing, it's pretty obvious that the Heavyweight division is based in Europe these days

    He's potentially right though, all three have big question marks over their punch resistance. I know Price has been KO'd as an am, not sure why you dismiss it, it's not like wearing a protective helmet weakens your chin :lol:

    I've seen Wilder wobbled by an utter bum, there are probably more incidents that I'm not aware of.

    Fury has been down a few times as well. But it happens...

    Like I said, question marks.

    Deontay Wilders last 5 opponents including upcoming fight in December.
    Kelvin Price - 37 Years.
    Damon McCreary - 39 Years.
    Kerston Manswell - 35 Years.
    Owen Beck - 36 Years.
    Jesse Oltmanns - 36 Years.


    This is suppossed to be the man who saves the heavyweight division in America.

    David Price has an upcoming fight against Skelton who is 46 and just fought Audley Harrison who is 40.

    Time to step up BOYS!

    "Punch resistance" is much more of a learned-skill than a physiological gift. Lots of great fighters were KO'd & KD'd in the ams or early in their pro careers, and that includes Ali, who went on to withstand tons of devastating punches.

    The "chin checkers" around here, like Zakman, are complete idiots. For some reason, they just continually prove this to us, over & over. It used to be entertaining, but now it's just annoying.

    Audley brutalized him in sparring, Price would KO him within 20 seconds

    why do fools think Canadian= white? you realize Langford, Dixon, Kirk Johnson, George Godfrey and many more known black fighters were Canadian right? But then again I wouldn't expect you to know **** about boxing history.

    Fury wouldn't last 1 round with Wilder. He almost got destroyed by featherfisted Pajkic who punches about as hard as Malignaggi. Pajkic has a 20% KO rate vs bums that even you would have a chance of KOing with your limpwrists. Price vs Wilder would be whoever landed first but Fury doesn't stand a chance vs either guy. I'm gonna laugh at you dumb limeys when Fury fights someone decent that can punch, too bad he didn't ***** away from the Price fight. How do you consistently get behind different brit hypejobs every year only to be disappointed time and time again when they step on the world stage and get obliterated?

    Look at this ****boy trying to claim this bull**** that no one has actually said. Audley said he was a fast powerful young fighter. Wilder's been doing OK with Wlad so I'd assume that Audley wouldn't be much trouble. If Audley brutalized him we would be hearing about it. Wlad says he's the future champ. I think I'll go with real quotes from the fighters themselves over some nationalistic rumour making forum troll that thinks Chisora is good.
