    Why would I be impressed if he knocks out Wilder again?

    Knocking out AJ would be more impressive but he's already been had by a 6'2 tub of lard.

    Your right he's huge and skilled and has all the tools one would need to dominate. It's time to put up or shut up now. I want to see him do it

    This is one of the worst matchups for Wilder. Holmes is technically light years ahead. He's faster, much faster. I don't even start on the jab. But consider also Holmes inside fighting skills and his excellent head movement and reflexes in his prime.

    Wilder won't land anything. The right hand will keep missing by a mile and Holmes peppers him with jabs and straight rights while controlling the pace of the engagement. Wilder would look like a rank amateur (which he is).

    Holmes TKO
    While Wilder has the big right hand in the locker, I think Holmes jab annoys him enough to not be able to land it

    Wilder's autopsy record would read: "Died from countless jabs to the head"

    I've been laughing at this post all morning. Either trolling or delusional

    Holmes could be hit by right hands but Wilder only has a right hand. Holmes would not have to concern himself about much else. Wilder doesn't have the skill or variety to catch him blind so even if he did catch him i can see Holmes taking control again. I see Holmes stopping him.

    Wilder v Holmes, think Cooney v Holmes and that's not far off the same result.

    Wilder hits way harder than Shavers.
    That aside, my money's on Holmes cause he's a better all round boxer.

    No it wasn't. Shavers is not among the top 5 punchers, there's not a shred of evidence to back this thing up with.

    I don't care about ppl in forums opinion about stuff like I'm wrong or no.
    Evidences?
    If you are willing to prove something for free in forums, then post your evidences etc about 5 top punchers, back up them etc.
    Preferably with measurements, interwievs with notable boxers etc.
