Is Fabio Wardley Competitive In the 70s HW Era?

I'm with this

A lot of the 70s contenders weren't that special and that whole era gets romanticized

 

Hmm? To the deluded, everyone else seems delusional......Wardly couldn't beat Jerry Quarry on his best day

 

If I'm not mistaken, was he not being dominated in his last 2 fights by both opponents when he came up with a game changer (credit to him) in one fight and then did show fortitude but was also blessed with an inept ref in the other?

That means he's competitive (top 10) in the murderer's row that was the 70s?

 

Oh so NOW you venture a sober analysis...where is the snarky non sequitur?

 

This reminds me of the Joyce hype. Same posts and everything.

 

This is exactly right, he's around the Mariusz Wach ,David Allen , Frazier Clarke level.

 

Sooo predictable isn't it?

 

Every time. Recency bias strikes again. If Wardley's chin cracks like Joyce's did...

 

Wardley is better than Joe Joyce in every way

 

Correct.

Joe Joyce has the best chin since George Chuvalo. Some were saying ever. There were multiple threads here claiming that, so it must be true.

 

I wouldn't even presume to know myself if that's what I was even doing.

 

I keep seeing people say he’s durable, but name me a big puncher he’s been in with, yeah he takes punishment but from non punchers so far.

 

Its completely pointless comparing eras because we will just never know but when a fighter can hit as hard as wardley and has a solid chin he cant be written off.

 

fair enough

 

Joyce would be competitive in the 70s too. Would crack the top 10, be capable of an upset here and there. Be the best? Absolutely not. But he’d be up there.

that’s all anybody is saying about Wardley. He’s a big strong athletic guy with Shavers/Foreman level power and every intangible. How would he NOT be competitive?
