Foreman's excuses after Zaire were countless, and Foreman now admits this. Ali went around after "The Fight of The Century" saying he was the "People's Champ," and he really won the first fight with Frazier, but "The Man" wouldn't give him his just desserts. True, they did not accuse their opponents of loaded gloves which is far, far worse. I have noted that Wilder went over the line, but, to me, what is far more important is behavior in the ring. Never saw Wilder cheat or quit.

Some accused Wilder of cheating, when his team forced a longer break in the 1st Ortiz fight, after the round where Wilder had taken a lot of punishment.

Also he was in a fixed fight against the other sh!thouse.

Wilder was valiant has weekend.

But he’s not a “warrior”, his resume is weak for a fighter that’s engaged in thirteen world title bouts.

And he also rejected multiple career-high payday offers to face some of his big-name rivals.

His post fight antics are exceptionally juvenile and unprofessional.

One fight doesn’t erase five years’ worth of history, where his WBC title reign was very poor.
