    Wilder and class ? I think you're seriously overestimating Wilder. Haye is by far a better boxer than Wilder, and Wilder isn't even the same stratosphere as Lewis regarding skills.

    I've gained some more respect for Wilder recently, but let's be real Ngannou an MMA fighter was more competitive vs an overweight Fury than Wilder was.

    I'm still not sold on Wilder I still think hes very limited skill wise, if he beats Parker impressively and maybe another top 10 ranked fighter then my opinion may change.

    Fight could go either way, but one of them is getting knocked out. Could resemble one of many Tua KOs, or could resemble Tua’s amateur KO loss to Felix Savon.

    Using that logic. Ngannou (and Fury) were more competitive with Fury than an ATG who ruled the division for ten years.

    My point is Fury was grossly overweight in the 3rd fight vs Wilder which alot of people have gave Wilder huge credit for now. But yet these same people are saying Fury looked garbage vs Ngannou even though he was overweight no different to when he fought Wilder.

    So isn't it a bit of an oxymoron for people not to give Ngannou proper credit rather than putting it down to Fury being out of shape ? Yet these same people give Wilder more credit for being knocked by an overweight Fury.

    It makes no logical sense to me Fury weighed 277 pounds for both fights BTW.

    He wouldn't stop Ruiz this fast if the fight was repeated numerous times.

    There will be a few heavyweights going on trial on 23/12.

    Parker will be the best the Wilder has faced, outside of Fury.

    He is either going to seal his legacy, or unravel it.

    Fury's resume would be very vulnerable to any setback for Wilder, and a commanding performance e by Joshua against Wallin, could lead to further questions.

    On the other hand Wallin is exactly the kind of man who could capitalize on any weakness in Joshua's game.

    We should see a few things clarified.

    fury was heavy for wilder 3 on purpose to be fair. more weight behind his shots and more to lean on him in the clinches.

    anyone discrediting what ngannou did doesn't have their eyes connected to their brain.

    the better version of fury was wilder 3 by a pretty decent margin for me, but that difference was mental preparation and strategy, not anything physical.

    What makes you think he is a standout in his own era. I'm not sold on him punching harder than Makhmudov or Bakole.

    I am.

    There are questions about Wilder, but nobody should question his power.

    He has the kind of power where you don't need anything else, and that is a rare thing.
