It's the heavyweight division and some of the greatest heavyweights of all time have come back from knockouts to have long successful careers and put on exciting fights.
Now, we have a lot of young talent in the heavyweight division and a lot of great fights that can be made. So instead of waiting for the failure of these exciting young fighers? How about we shut the hell up and just enjoy the fights.
Wilder has already been exposed without being knocked out.
He's 6'7 with an 83 inch reach. He can make mistakes and not pay for them because he is a physical freak.
Regardless, who cares? It's the heavyweight division. Knockouts happen to the best of them.
wilder is very talented, but he can hardly box. the end is coming.
he shows flashes of speed, athletcism, and power that you don't see in contemporary HW boxing. he balances it out with periods where he wanders around the ring like a novice.
Those flashes of speed and athleticism are reminiscent of Broner's displays. They throw the same long range slapping hooks that make a loud noise and move their opponent's guard but don't really do any damage.
Fury has never avoided anybody. He tried to fight Haye. Wilder has been pretty careful but he has a tough fight coming. I find Fury to be annoying with all his bragging but I still like him. He is always ready to fight anybody. He is fearless. Wlad has been KOed more than once but he worked hard and improved and has been winning ever since. He has fought all worthy contenders and ducked nobody. He clinches way too much but he still has been a good champion.
Remember when Jack Dempsey got exposed by Fireman Flynn, stopped in one round, on the way up.
Whatever happened to Dempsey? Did he ever amount to anything?
Joe louis was also KO'd before achieving ATG status. So were were Lennox and Wlad, of course, and Vitali was stopped twice, on injuries.
That is how it will go no matter the amount of success they have they will eventually run into a McCall, or a Douglas, or a Rahman.
Being an offensive heavyweight that is always how the story goes.
Yep. That's the nature of the heavyweight division. As fans all we can hope that this new wave of talent can produce classic fights and bring the American audience back to boxing.

Indeed way to much emphasis is placed on losing
Floyd and the 0" has ruined the sport...
Even Kelly Brook is braggin about the 0...
When was the last time you posted without mentioning Kell Brook?
Wilder especially is a guy who will likely lose soon but will keep getting better. He has shown some serious improvement.
I'm still not sure what to make of Fury.
I hate the word exposed. Getting KO'd doesn't always mean you got exposed.
Exposed is easily the most overused word in all of boxing. If fighter A has a good round against fighter B, he "exposed" him lol. Sh.t is comical
TBF though it's not about being Ko'd everyone gets Ko'd apart from a few freaks of nature.... It's how you come back from them,,, wlad, Lewis,etc. came back better. Animals in fact, they should what it takes to be a true champion. Now if and when wilder and fury get KTFO its how they come back from it. Are they mentally biccchez or true champions?
LOL. Floyd Patterson was knocked out several times. How could be possibly be a hall of famer?
Floyd Patterson was such a terrible fighter.... I don't see how people have him in good books. Very weak champion for an era where trinkets didn't exist!
:headbang: Preach :headbang:
It's also quite annoying when you see folks bagging on younger prospects who are still being developed and trying to acclimate themselves to pro game.
