Uncanny parallels between Gerry Cooney and Deontay Wilder

,,,,AWW Never mind

 

Wilder saw Fury come out of inactive retirement looked completely out shape and looking very poor against journeymen bin his first fight.

Tyson team said anyone half decent would of beaten Tyson the state he was in the their first fight.

After the second Wilder Fury fight Wilder (which Wilder had to fight of be stripped of his world title) gave a interview claiming Fury should give him a third fight. Wilder stated at the time of the first fight Wilder turned down a lot more money to fight AJ just to fight Fury so Fury should return the favour (effectively Wilder basically admitted he ducked AJ and that fury was a cherry puck gone wrong).

 

Again, he fought Fury 3x. Tyson Fury is the best heavyweight of this era. What type of system are you guys using? Would you award Wilder more points for fighting Chisora and Dillian Whyte or some **** like that? LOL. Fat Fury is still better than all of those guys and there were clearly much easier fights to take if he wanted. Clearly. He did not need to give Fury even ONE fight.

The circumstances don't matter as much as you think they do, and there was certainly no reason to demand a third fight.

 

I don't know. Ken Norton got in and never won a championship fight.

 

Norton is the rare exception. I’ve pointed out only he and Jimmy Bivins have gained entry without being lineal champions And Jimmy Bivins had extensive career at light heavy.

Norton beat Ali - and had a famous trilogy where he arguably won all three fights. Fury is no Ali and Wilder didn’t win one single bout and was mostly non competitive in the bouts. Norton also has an all time classic fight with Larry Holmes.
Norton is the rare exception. And for that matter in todays era of over diluted belts - Wilder’s run as wbc champion was pathetic and not really a legitimate run- he never beat the top heavyweight like Norton did with Ali.
Anyway I’ve made my points all over this site on this matter. I’m not going to continue on with it. I saw a poll said is Wilder HOF worthy and it’s nearly 4 outta every 5 say no. As it should be.

 

Why are you replying to my response to Curtis Lowe? You keep jumping into my conversations.
It’s not hating on Wilder, his resume just isn’t Hall of fame worthy. judging by who is in, for the heavyweight division he falls far short. Guys like Moorer and Bivins have a body of work at light heavy. So his best comparison would be Norton or Vitali which have both been covered. He doesn’t measure up to them. So to let Wilder in would really lower bar to admittance.

 

My God you stalk me. But yes I agree with everything I said there. If Wilder goes in, it will be a cheapening of the Hall of Fame. If he goes in - it will be to sell tickets and not on merit. I have the luxury not being affiliated with the Hall - to strictly apply my beliefs that it should be on merit.
As for Povetkin I believe his resume is just short - although it is better than Wilder’s.

 

Well yes. I feel if Wilder gets in then a host of guys should get in. Povetkin, Byrd, Tim Witherspoon, Quarry maybe, etc. That’s why I’m a hard No on Wilder. As for Moorer - I feel he didn’t stay at light heavy long enough (where he was excellent and a murderous puncher), and I feel he didn’t accomplish enough at heavy despite lifting the lineal title from Holyfield.
The Hall does like to put lineal heavyweight title holders in though, that much is evident.

 

Well Cooney was never seen twerking on camera with his ass up like a cat in heat after any of his losses though. And he never came up with wild conspiracy theories searching for an excuse why he got tooled and schooled.

Wilder never went to the body like that.

 

Cooney was already on the boogar sugar before the Holmes fight. His promoters didn't care at all about him and cashed him out against Holmes after an extended inactivity.
