    You completely backed up my statement with that ridiculous post.

    Wilder's record against world ranked fighters is 11-4-1.

    Not one win.

    Another guy pissed that Wilder didn't unify with Joshua and didn't lose to Fury to complete Tyson's big comeback that year, so he runs down Wilder's opponents and doesn't even give him credit for anything.

    They have been whining about it for so long they don't even realize they're doing it anymore.

    At this point, I can almost type their responses word for word before they do.

    Wilder is generally underrated.

    His resume over all is quite weak, and he lost when he stepped up to the elite of his day, had 3 brutal fights with him, and fell off quickly after (making him look worse.)

    At the end of the day though, going 40+ without a loss against world ranked opposition especially as a heavyweight is impressive, and he has downright frightening power and showed he had great heart…ESPECIALLY considering his late start and apparent lack of schooling in the fundamentals.

    My point was he took shots after the AJ fight
    Which he did
    A boxer doesn't have to be a murderer to hurt someone

    I just thought the guy was pretty tough5, no more no less than that

    But the only real comp he fought was Wallin, who couldn't punch at all, and Wilder, who slaughtered him.

    Took a fantastic punch from Wilder and managed to get up before 10

    Ref made the right call as he was out of it but that punch would have left the majority of boxers on the floor

    Yep, ref stopped it
    Good call but he would have carried on if allowed
    He imo took that punch better than aot of Heavyweight fighters would have

    I see what point your trying to make and on paper it's valid but as somebody that never rated Breazle much, I always thought he had a good chin

    Pfft. If anything, it’s comically overrated.

    I thought he shows some good whiskers against Joshua.I'll end it at that.
