Sit Down Earnie Shavers ... Deontay Wilder is the best puncher the division has ever produced

And?

What?

Again, he never had the opportunity to land flush on guys like Lennox.

Why didn't Wilder body Stiverne?

Why didn't he body a light punching Fury who was dropped by a CW, and who'd been inactive for 3 years?

You obviously need the opportunity.

 

More nonsense.

Nobody who wants a proper debate highlights an opponent that someone faced at 47 years of age.

Why don't you wait until he's retired before trying to do a comparison.

Wilder is a far more successful HW than George ever was?

What's he done?

He's been gifted a draw against a version of Fury who wasn't at his best.

What's his best win?

Foreman was fighting the same calibre of opposition when he was in his 40's.

Evander, Briggs, Morrison and Moorer were better than most of Wilder's opponents.

As of yet, he's done nothing special.

I don't think he'd have reigned in the 70's, 80's and 90's. And regarding a H2H match up, I'd definitely have favoured George over him.

 

I'll give him all the credit in the world...but we both know that it it not going to happen. Beating up on the same old man as he already did is just not that impressive. Let him beat the fury, who has already beaten him, and we will talk.

 

Lol. Ortiz and Stiverne were more than willing to jump back in the ring with him, and fury is willing to. I just heard Holmes claim that he can beat anyone currently active. Doesn't seem that he's as feared as all that.

 

Yes, and it seems that you have no evidence to site.

 

That's right man. Tex Cobb & James "Quick" Tillis are among others who said Shavers hit them the hardest ever.

And it is a huge sign of a lack of knowledge of boxing to eqaute pure KO% with raw power.
How many times do people need to be told before they absorb that *So* many other things go into how many folks you KO, & how early.
Boxing skills galore. How accurate you are. How many punches you land, especially in combinations. Punch resistance. Endurance. Who you fight at what stage of their career.

If anything, Shaver's great KO% *given* his other serious limitations in talent are an endorsement of his overwhelming power.

And how about boxers like Wilder scoring KOs, KDs, & softening men up for the same with illegal shots like rabbit punches? To the back or top of the head.
That kind of cheating, even if unintentional, makes it far easier to score KOs.

Wilder has excellent power. And guys not seeing it coming accentuates that.
But given who he fights & his tactics, that context does not reflect that he has the best ever power.

 

Wins against the ill and part-time fighters are not evidence of anything except Wilder's cowardice.

 

lol yeah and look at what happened to both. gtfoh you clown.

 

I remember The Acorn, as Ali called him before their fight on Sept 29 1977, which Ali won, a very heavy handed puncher, who put many to sleep. People remember that Jerry Quarry kayoed him in round 1, on Dec 14 1973. Good fighter, Earnie Shavers was though.

 

that's demon power right there!

Haters can hate, but the guy can F*****G Punch!!!!
