come of it cas i remember my dad always making us laugh doing an impression of a grave digger brushing of his shoulders of mud and dust as it was the next corpse to face bruno , wilder is a huge puncher i mean i dont like man but i give him his dues

Wilder never fought a fighter as durable as Mike Jameson in his first 35 fights, s o O wouldn't go making fun of Bruno


If he had ONE spectacular OK over a guy known for durability, we can talk about all time power status

your right wilder had had fought dan sheehan Audley Harrison and world champion by 35 fights , not making fun of bruno the same the same way your not makeing fun of wilder

Sprott and Skelton yes, although during Skeltons good run he was an in your face Mauler strong as a bear hence the nicknsame, Stiverne likes to counter punch at his own slow pace at mid range so Skelton could actually have had more success than you'd think cuz of styles, but people forget how good Danny Williams was early on, in fact Stiverne seems to suffer same nerves as Williams did. I'd pick the Kali Meehan Williams over the Arreola Stiverne

Bruno at least stopped some tricky contenders and not just club fighters with bad chins like Wilders first 30 fights

Take Mike Jameson, Bruno knocked him out cold in two rounds, the only people to stop Jameson were Mike Tyson (five rounds) George Foreman (four rounds) and then undefeated in 15 Tony Fulilangi

so that is a good demonstration of Frank's power

Wilder has absolutely no durable boxers on his record like that, chinny fat club fighters to chinny contenders to a woeful champion he couldn't KO

It’s more the manner Wilder knocks people out, he flattens a lot with one punch. Bruno rarely done that. Wilders best punch would trouble any HW, it’s irreverent who he’s beat, he has that equaliser.

Anyone’s career can be dissected to look bad. Foreman fought a lot of journeyman types when he turned pro, most were under 200lb too. Tyson didn’t beat anyone half decent until his 18th fight. Check out Shavers record, loads of his fights were against poor opposition, lots had losing records


.

He hasn't flattened any more than AJ or Klitschko, they get back up but are too wobbly to continue, Audley Vs Wilder, Audley is up at 8, Audley Vs Price, Audley is out cold face first on the ground

Watch how Eric Molina was clearly not scared of Wilder after tasting his power, and almost even chinned him, compared to how terrified he was of AJ, who's knockout punch almost made Molina's head snap back and touch his arse, AJ flattened Molina with the first flush punch he landed, Wilder sure didnt

Foreman fought bums, he also almost murdered undefeated Frazier and nearly killed Ken Norton coming off the Ali victories, Foreman left MANY more men lying twitching on the canvas than Wilder, Foreman was legitimately scary, Wilder seems like hell forever be insecure about his power until he actually kills someone, his carry on after the Helenius fight was embarrassinf

Jack spoke to them both in the back and he told them he’s gonna give them every opportunity.

Either someone’s lost decent money or no one’s ending up with a good payday.

For me, bar Canelo and mega fights, PPV is dead in the US. That doesn’t mean it won’t continually be used though.

75,000 for this. 65,000 for Andy Ruiz’s fight against Ortiz. They should have just put them in together at the start or kept them off PPV.

Considering there’s almost 350 million people in the U.S that’s awful numbers

Yeah.

They’re making boxing more of a niche sport by having a PPV every couple of weeks. It’s so short sighted.

If they’d put the fight on regular Fox Sports then I’m sure they could have generated the same kind of revenue in ad sales, driven a decent rating and built the Ruiz/Wilder fight even bigger.

PBC are having their fighters fight, on the most part, once a year and, as others have been too, are massively overpaying their fighters compared to their commercial worth. If the 75k buys is correct then, unless Wilder has a well known dance partner, he’s worth $2m or so.

He cracked Ortiz' chin, after what the Cuban's punch resistance was gone, now he falls from jabs. He stopped Breazeale quickly and brutally, while Breazeale had been known for taking a lot of punishment pretty well. The guys with average or weak chins sleep long after Wilder's punches. He barely landed clean on the well-chinned Fury and he floored him several times.
