Wilder is amateur-ish, fought C-level comp and his chin is unproven. Too harsh?
Re: Wilder is amateur-ish, fought C-level comp and his chin is unproven. Too harsh?
I actually rate Wilder as a fighter. Yeah he's very unorthodox and makes mistakes but he's bloody awkward, tough, powerful and has bags of heart. It's gonna take a good guy to beat him! Fury of three years back would've boxed his head off but Fury has been inactive and went backwards whereas Wilder has actually improved a lot during that time. Uses the jab more, looks more patient and keeps his punching hand up after throwing now (most of the time) which he didn't do before. Nice wide stance and hard to tag as well.
The Ortiz fight ended up a cracker but it was bloody awful for what? 5 rounds til it sparked? This could well be the same!

Not sure i can compare Lomachenko to Fury.
Technically Loma is great, even GOAT potential.
Fury on the otherhand uppercut himself right in the face and was outboxed by mcdermott.

allegedly said at the Presser that Fury won every round against Klit - I did spill my coffee.

Exactly!!!!!
Just like Fury is Ali, Mayweather Usyk and Lomenchenko all wrapped up in the Pillsbury doughboys body

Another thing in which people seem to have forgotton.... I'm hearing it dubbed as (IRRESPECTIVE OF THE RESULT) as the greatest comeback ever. Now, I have had experience of mental health issues and I am not meaning to do what Tyson has done any disservice and yes it is remarkable that he's lost 10 stone in a year.... tremendous. However, Fury is getting this shot based on his name and lack of depth in the division.
Ricky Hatton went through similar issues was equally bloated in weight and had he been managed slightly different would have definately got a world title shot had he not fought the opponents of the callibre of those Fury has fought. Instead Ricky took on a live test in his first fight and he went unstuck.
And whilst it wasn't for Mental Health issues - I would also think Vitali Klitchsko comeback fight for the WBC title was also quite impressive.

Did anyone just see the filler interview with a young Tyson on the PPV..?.
"Wlad Klitshcko is a great champion. A great guy. Great role-model. Great for Boxing...
Complete Tosser in my opinion."
