It's ok man.I respect your opinion along with everyone else.Plenty I don't agree with but I'm not getting riled. I've made plenty of wrong decisions on fights and fighters.

Maybe I am and no smart aleck intent,maybe I'll change my opinion on Wilder after watching him again or what he does his next fight.I think it would be awesome if he were able to adapt and use his natural gifts.

In Cuba he would have been the dream fighter and probably excelled.Its all good.

And the earth is flat.If it wasn't why aren't we falling off.....

I hope you're joking on that last line

Hahaha of course my horse.

Moorer was miles better than wilder. Briggs got a bs decision against a 50 yr old man.

Moorer is a great boxer but not much of a chin. I think wilder hits harder than tua . Id see deontay knocking him out

Moorer was way past his best when he fought tua. His chin wasn't granite, but he had a ton of heart. I don't see wilder handling Mike. I wouldn't pick fury or Joshua to beat him either.

I don't know about that, but Moorer definitely shouldn't be thought of as "the guy that got knocked out by Tua" because yeah that was well beyond Moorer at his best.

He'd box Wilder's ass off, and had enough pop that he could hurt him, it'd just kinda be a matter of whether he could avoid the right hand bomb. If he could, he'd win, because he'd definitely get the better of any round that Wilder didn't knock him out or down in.

Not sure he'd be able to deal with Fury, though that'd depend a lot on how Fury approached fighting him. If Fury tried to box, and showboat against him I don't think it'd work out to well for him. If he tried to pressure, and walk down Moorer, he'd probably be better off.

With AJ, I'm still waiting to see how he does from here, but my first instinct is to pick him to beat Moorer when I think of the matchup.
