Your not quite getting the point. If Wilder was known in the UK, they couldnt bill him as the second coming of Foreman, becasue everyone would know that its absolute nonsense. Also if Wilder was known, they wouldnt need to reach so hard to market him. And also, if he was anything remotely like the second coming of George Formean this fight would have already been agreed and done and Hearn wouldnt have tried to "build" Wilder for this fight, if anything he would be as much of the A-Side as AJ. Its the reason Hearn offered Wilder a route to AJ where he gains a huge payday, a top 10 ranked HW on his record and the chance to perform on a massive stage raking in money Wilder could only ever have dreamed of whilst competing for 3 of the 4 HW Belts. Wilder turned it down. I konw you agree he should have fought Whyte so ill not get into that, but the point im making is Hearn gave Wilder an opportunity to build a profile cos he needs it to fight Joshua. Parker knows it, so he took it when wilders ego got the better of him.
It wasn't meant to be taken literally. But worse comparisons have been made in the past. Mormek was billed as a mini mike tyson when he fought Wlad. Networks and promoters have no shame when selling a fight
Wilder has nothing that would warrant him to be speaken in same sentence with Big George. Only a casual like this dino the internet hero would suggest anything like that. ShuuuttaFuukkup idiots.
The OP in particular and majority of posters on here shouting ''Casual'' to anyone who cannot talk the tremendous amount of Bolloxs they can, insures me they are the ultimate casual read their posts they know Jack Shite. Do you realise the more Bull Shite you talk the more you sound like a moron? Walk into a Bar and start to talk like you do. You will either get ignored or taken the pi$$ out of relentlessly but your arrogance won't realise this you believe they're interested in your waffle. You may believe that you are a smart arse talking, while all around you eyes glaze over listening to your tedious ramblings. Those who you now think are ''Casuals'' are just baiting you into talking more Bull **** they will throw out a phrase and then you in your monotonous tone will respond trainspotter like with ever more bolloxs. Will people like the OP just ''Shut The **** Up ''. And give your arse a chance.
The OP reminds me of those Chinese fans watching the ''Premier League Trophy'' on SKY, wearing Liverpool shirts and because they do it means they are '''MASSIVE FANS''. Look the reason for this is they like Mayweather are after you cash, they set up meaningless tournaments in Asia & The US. To squeeze you more.
And you remind me to those hypocrites that say that "casuals are fine" but they come here running away from general purpose forums tired of reading stupid opinions. GTFO if you are not comfortable here. Casuals? no thanks, if I want to read stupid opinions I have one thousand forums, I hate them and the reason I come here is because I expect to find here people with a decent opinion, it doesnt matter whether I agree or not with them. People here watch boxing nearly every day, that's their opinion what I want to read. If you enjoy people saying that "tyson would beat the hell out of de la hoya", either you are in the wrong forum or it's me the one in the wrong forum. Imho this forum has been very well cleaned lately because casuals and racists were just too much for the people here. And I expect this forum to be at least as clean as it is now.
Whats a Casual to you then? Are you the arrogant **** who walks around thinking ooh I'm on a Boxing Forum I, read the internet, I have more authority than you. **** Off you boring twat and crawl back into your room. Get out in the World and you realise people talk about anything and everything few are experts in the chosen subject, even fewer claim to be it's called being sociable . Being an arrogant ***** demanding who can & who cant talk about boxing makes you the arse in the room not the ''casual'' and to use the term confirms this. Or if you like only talk to someone on your own perceived level of knowledge and then allow the ones with more than you to tell you to GTFO as you don't know enough. The phrase ''Thinks he knows a lot about nothing'' but knows nothing about a lot'' comes to mind.
So and so (some guy you like or they don't) is a bum So and so (another guy they don't like or know) ducks all of the good fighters So and so (a guy they like) was robbed
You know what's a casual? a guy that sais that floyd vs connor is staged when there are bets involved. That stuff puts you in jail. You are a casual, dude.
It's a Effing Joke, staged and managed to sell to the Dumb ****s who wouldn't watch a local proper Boxing Club Night which is where I'm off that night what you doing staying at home? again on a Saturday night all alone with your mouthpiece Boxing 24 Forum your goto place to learn nothing about Boxing. Casuals!!! I'm not the arrogant ***** with more than one account proclaiming they are the only one with the authority to talk about Boxing. You are the Causal it bothers you so much, poor sad twat!!. Casual doesn't bother me in the slightest as I dont give a **** each to their own and all that. When I mean your own I mean you stick to your own at home.
This "casual" nonsense is getting ridiculous. I have loved boxing for 50 years but I also have other interests. Sorry that I can't focus on boxing 24/7 365 like some of you guys seem to but I have other things to follow too. Calling people "casuals" like it is some derogatory thing and your fandom is somehow more important than theirs is ridiculous. And if I want to comment on something I will weather you like it or not. I just apologize in advance if is not up to your lofty standards.
1. (Insert name of mediocre old time fighter) would definitely beat (insert name of great modern fighter) or conversely, 2. (Insert name of unproven modern fighter) would definitely beat (insert name of legendary old time fighter).
Casuals as some like to call them are the reason for Sports and the Mcgregor fight making so much money. When fights are only of interest to Boxing Fans it struggles to cash in Football's the same. Hardcore fans that attend are not bothered with. It's the ArmChair/Casual fan that counts for TV. You can only get 78,000 paying £40+ into Old Trafford you can get a Million United fans Subscribing for SKY or BT each month. But who cares so much as to how people watch or how much they know. Everyone started somewhere. I watch what I want, when I want and will talk about it in a civil social manner to whomever. Social skills will teach you when to shut up. Perhaps this is what those who shout(on the Internet) Casual lack when doing so!!
