    Valuev was pretty terrible but Wilder is not.

    The first time I saw Valouev fight, Roid Jones showed him on HBO, talking about how good his technique was for such a huge person, most measured him at 7 feet 2 inches tall, he used to weigh around 330lbs. which is not that much for his size..............he has stamina, boxed well........................he would have knocked Wilder out..............

    He has great reflexes and he’s fast, which allows him to get away with a lot more than most…seems to be working pretty well for him so far…

    **** that guy, his opinion worth very little. He talked **** about Roy Jones for not knocking out James Toney despite the fact that nobody ever did. Even Heavyweights. He DKSAB.

    I'm not going to make any friends with this comment, but big George really does belong in this conversation. Of course he made up for sloppy technique in other areas though.

    This is the second video I've watched of his, his analysis is god awful and I disagree with nearly everything he says.

    I get it but disagree, his punching technique was telegraphed and wild, but he was the best heavyweight ring cutter I've ever seen. His jab is leagues better than Wilder's and his unorthodox defense is underrated. That is not even to mention his incredible physical abilities. George is definitively a better boxer than Wilder. Just not as fast.

    That said L. Spinks and P. Carnera are worse than either.

    Tons. Here's my breakdown on the fight. https://imgur.com/gallery/Hsn8S Heavy and obvious Wilder bias, never once highlights one of his flaws.

    Fouts broke down how Wilder found a home for that right hand, you did not. Thats a big and significant difference.

    I broke down the footwork on how he was able to land the actual right hand that put him down. He focused on the one that rocked him. If I knew it was an argument I'd need to have I'd have done the same.
