You’ve criticised others for being less wrong than you were about Wilder. :TU:

How does your own medicine taste? :OhYes: :lol:

Oh wow, silly me, i picked a winner who was even the bookies favourite. Big price on Fury, if you had half my balls.tou would've put your money where your mouth is won big, but you've got none.

C'mon, man. Let's look at somebody like... Say Carl Froch? Quite slow, terrible defence, poor footwork, not even special power. He wasn't the best boxer was he? What he had was an iron chin and an unrelenting desire to dig in. These are the 'intangibles' that made Froch what he was.

It's obvious that Wilder's intangible' is his power and whether or not he can land it. But he's a poor boxer, and Fury is a very good boxer. Wilder just loses round after round. Even against Washington, he dropped rounds.

He's not a good boxer at all.

He's the definition of a puncher.
Both Wilder and Froch medalled at the Olympics and the world's respectively.

You don't normally achieve that unless you can box a little atleast.

Not a bad fighter but on the day was not good enough to beat Fury.

Price can box. He just has no gas tank and suffers with anxiety disorder.

It's Irrelevant. Joe Joyce deserved the gold far more than AJ did and the consensus of this forum is that he's shite.

I''ve got money on him too.

Today is my birthday and I will spend my winnings unwisely. Jog on, losers! That is about the most dominant kicking I've seen in a while. Taste it. Enjoy it.

Wilder can't box either. He can punch, but he can't box for toffee. EDIT: just re:read that but let me off I'm wasted.

Hey Ricky, did you learn anything about skills last night?

Hey Ricky, how did the one punch wonder's skills do last night?

Hey Ricky, while your at it, tell how "athletic" Wilder is now?

I don’t understand...

This thread wasn’t a prediction, but rather slating on posters for slating on Wilders lack of boxing skills.

Now he’s babbling on about making bets and hindsight, but wasn’t the entire point of the thread that posters were already slating on Wilders boxing?

:TU: I got slated the first time when I said Andy Ruiz had a solid chance of knocking out AJ. The likes of Danconnolly weren't so smug in the aftermath of that one.

Fwiw, i still don't agree with people shïtting on Wilder to the extent they do.. He was warming into round 2 and got caught with the ear shot. If anything he proved some top level toughness that AJ sure lacks.
