    Every fight you never know what you will get. Honestly don't know how you can't be a fan

    Every fight is a bum fight.

    He'll probably fight Andrzej Wawrzyk or someone like that next. I know Wawrzyk was on the undercard on his fight vs Duphaeous

    Scott and Stiverne weren't bums, both of them only had one other loss, and both were questionable stoppages.

    He put away Liakovich and Harrison faster than many other top fighters did, and they were an ex champion and a former gold medalist.

    Duahapaus and Molina's most notable losses came to Erkan Teper and Chris Arreola, neither of whom are any slouch.

    Wilder's resume is not stellar by any means, but tis not as bad as his detractors say.

    His power is overrated. Wonderful windmill punches though. Terrible dancing skills. Overrated overall.

    Foreman hit much harder than Wilder... Against better comp as well. End of story.

    That is so insulting to Foreman and Roy Jones.

    I enjoy watching him fight albeit against subpar opposition. Wilder - Povetkin would be superb.

    I don't think Foreman hit far harder than Wilder but they're on different levels as far as punching technique goes.

    Many of the things people say about Wilder now, they once said about Foreman. People dogged Foreman for fighting what they perceived as bums too, right up until the time he destroyed Frazier.

    Its pointless to compare eras, but Povetkin could wind up being to Wilder what Frazier was to Foreman.

    Foreman's power is so far beyond Wilder's that this isn't even a topic for discussion. And despite what his detractors say, we've all seen Roy take some monster shots, his chin didn't fail until the twilight of his career (or what should've been the twilight)

    PPl laugh at the fact he having to go life and death toe to toe with B level fighters. As a world champ facing these folk are right to.

    But if theres anything i hope for when i watch a fight is that it just may turn into a war and ppl are guna have to go life and death. And Wilder is doing that, his last fight was a really good one to watch.

    He hasnt got Foreman power though. Good power but at the top level, when he starts to fight at it, you load up a big wide swinging bomb like he does hes guna take 2 big shots before it even gets close to landing.
