Competition was stronger back then because more people boxed, and Breland was a youngster, not older.

Breland won gold at 21, not 20 like Val Barker Loma

I was at the Wincobank the day Wilt Chamberlain came in and smashed everyone with a jab. You might say that's easy, what with his height, but his arm was in a sling at the time.
And I looked at him — straight to his face like — and said “Well that's all very well, Wilt, but have you ever thrown a kettle over a pub?”. Never saw him again.

Absolute class! fornicating brilliant! You're a legend
This has gone right over my head! What’s it all about? I did see a YouTube about chamberlain vs Ali the other day
Ali bottled if off Wilt
Let's not let that particular genie out of the bottle again, Kalan will make an unwelcome reappearance on here, after he claws his way out of his coffin.

He told the story to Wilder in the dressing room before the Ortiz II fight they say, saying don't underestimate adrenalin if Ortiz fears him like Eubank feared Breland (who was knocking everyone out)
Wilder met his match there - the only man in boxing, the only man who talks more total bollox than he does.
