    He was not very good. He couldn't box.

    Adversity is the key word. I can't have faith in a guy that will fold when things aren't going his way. Maybe Wilder wasn't the best boxer but damn it he was a tough SOB. I'll take that over a highly skilled front runner who claims he doesn't even enjoy boxing

    Hilarious thread. Prime Wilder was garbage. Moses would knock him out in a few rounds.

    :lol:
    He was an extremely coddled Glass Jawed fighter who was in at least one fixed fight that we know of and possibly more. Wilder has no skills and no Chin. None.

    Where is the evidence for the elites of the division backing out of fights with him? Guys like Ruiz, Parker, Whyte, Joyce, Joshua, Dubois were all available to fight.

    Can you point to these guys turning down specific offers?

    The Povetkin and first Ortiz fights were canceled because both those guys tested positive for roids. And wilder tried for years to get a fight with Joshua.

    Neither fighter has a chin or defense. At least Wilder had okay stamina. First guy to land wins.

    It seems like Joshua was willing they just couldn't agree on terms. The Povetkin test was for something that had just been banned and was legal to take just months before

    Wilder himself admitted he rejected an offer to fight Joshua.

    And what if he doesn't? Gas out again? Hilarious take.

    Moses Itauma is a bum. A hype job that was exposed just like David Lemiuex and Edgar Berlanga were.

    Wilder is proven. He can throw the right hand over and over until the 12th round. If he get's hit he can recover. Itauma huffs and puffs with every shot thrown. And he doesn't hit that hard according to Hergovic, who faced bigger hitters.

    Wilder in his prime could KO opponents cold with the right hand even when they see it coming.

    Just like I predicted Moses would fold against Hergovic, he'll fold against other opposition. Ajit Kabayel would stop him in 3 rounds just from body work and following up with an uppercut.

    Moses Itaums is a case study as one of the most prominent hype jobs in recent history and his story will be much worse than Anthony Joshua's.
