Wilder is one of the worst HW champions ever, and the most protected fighter of the 21st Century. He has nothing but a big right hand, and he has a resume that's more padded than a memory foam mattress. The only 2 decent fighters he ever fought, and he looked like **** against both of them.
All those KO's, wins and defenses look good on paper if you ignore that his only top 10 ranked opponents were Luis Ortiz and Bermaine Stiverne.
exactly. mad how people can’t see that it’s because Father Time, the fury beating and inactivity has caught up with him.
Oh it's funny that so many people just now, after another fraud being expose starting to see the light. And where have you been when i was saying this for the past years? There is a reason for a guy with 47 professional fight, to have none of his opponent being known with a solid chin, and 40+ of his opponents to be complete bums. The only real question i have for Wilder is, how really good his chin and power is. And we may never know, as he is so protected, he is not going against huge punchers, and he is not going against guys with solid chins. Eh Parker is a guy with a solid chin and we see what happen.
There was a reason why Wilder avoided Parker and Joshua when he was WBC titleholder, and instead fought soft opponents like Szpilka and Washington. He was never very good, except for his right-hand punch.
Age has nothing to do with this loses. He has always been like that, ALWAYS. Age is probably the most irrelevant number when it comes to Wilder, as he always have just 1 attribute and that's his power. His speed is 100% still the same. This guy was outboxed by a f**** Spilka for 9 rounds, before the KO. 40 years old Ortiz outboxed him, hell so many other people outboxed this fraud. You can make a case for age, for guys like Usyk, Klitschko, even Fury, AJ, etc, but not for guys like Wilder.
I wouldn't go that far, Stiverne and Martin were worse and that's just in this era. But he was clearly a very over protected fighter, he was kept away from any real threats, didn't want to unify with Wlad when he won the title, ducked Povetkin, ducked Whyte, cherry picked Fury because everyone thought Fury was done and now lost to Parker who let's remember lost to Whyte, had close fights with Chisora, Takam and Ruiz Jr. Wilder was a top 10 heavyweight of this era but I can't say for sure he's top 5 because his resume sucks who for all we know might not even have beaten Chisora, Whyte, Takam or Ruiz given that performance against Parker.
Stiverne, Martin, Andy Ruiz (after that embarrassing performance in the AJ rematch), there are plenty of guys. Wilder was not the greatest but he’s by no means the worst.
He's always been awfull. Never a top 10 boxer. Father time my arse he's been a useless dosser since day 1. Never rated him ever, he has a good chin and freakish power but my god he's an terrible technician. Made millions knocking over cans.
Utter garbage because he refused to be exposed through fair matchmaking. There were worse, but how many reigned for this long through sheer corruption? Wilder was a laser focused glass-cannon. He had one decent thing and that is setting up the right hand. Take it from him an he is a half-developed, limited, obnoxious crowd pleaser with carefully written narrative.
