    He's stupid as hell alright but goddamn it if he isn't one brave mofo for pushing through so much punishment like that.

    I personally would take the schooling from Usyk.

    However looking on it from AJ and Wilders perspectives i would say Wilder would be 'happier' with his bout despite losing heavily as (A) he had a plan, executed that plan and had some success early on with it, (B) he showed testicular fortitude and went out on his shield so that ticked a personal box for him.

    Usyk or Ruiz . Who in their right mind would want to get crumpled like Wilder ; in that fight?

    Man you say some of the dumbest things. A 12 round one sided ass beating can kill a fighter.

    We aren’t talking ass beatings though are we, it was just UD compared to a ko being classed as worst out the 2. Being took out the game where your opponent has stopped you competing is obviously worse than a 12 round pts loss in everyone’s book

    There is a truth in that saying. It could be much more punishing to box all rounds than getting KOed in early rounds. These depend on many things, but it is true in some cases.

    Majority of the time, a ko loss is more mentally damaging

    Being UD'd is probably less likely to end your career and your sanity than a hard KO is.
