Comments Thread For: Hearn Tears Into Wilder, Says He Is Not Hall of Fame Worthy: 'Frightening That He's Saying That'

[Boro]

Wilder not only said he's HoF worthy but he said first ballot GTFOH he's not done anything worthy of being first ballot anything, Eddies right.

[chepboxingking]

can you name a boxer that you can rightfully classify as a bona fide hall of fame all time great that wilder beat?

Tyson only beat 2 hall of famers, and one of them was 39 yrs old when he beat him. We consider Tyson an ATG, right? Stop moving the goal post based on personal bias.

Mike Tyson is in the Hall of Fame and who did he defeat? He lost to a 40-1 underdog in James 'Buster' Douglass, he lost twice to Evander Holyfield and was knocked out by Lennox Lewis. In addition, he has six losses on his record. So how did he get in huh Eddie?

[champion4ever]

Well, Hearn is right on this one, Wilder ain't no hall of famer.

But it's not that important, just have a good or great career and make lots of money. If you're recognised by peers, that's great. I can maybe say Wilder's right hand power is one of the best, although not more power than Foreman, Lewis, Shavers, Liston and 'Iron' Mike.

Don't forget Marciano, Dempsey and Joe Louis who could hit pretty hard as well, among others.

But Deontay has some hall of fame right hand power no doubt.

If Wilder is not a Hall of Famer then what is the criteria for being one?

I’m a big fury fan and I think he’s trouble anyone in history at HW but his resume isn’t that of an ATG yet. Add usyk/Joyce/AJ and he’s undoubtedly first ballot even one or 2 of those scalps would suffice. Tyson is HOF already tho

No! I'm not making the argument that he is a Hall Of Famer because I don't believe he is one yet, maybe Alabama Hall Of Fame. Eddie just like to talk sh^ t about Wilder though he been doing it for years so it would be funny to see a face to face reaction between the two

I’m referring to Mike Tyson bro, not Tyson fury.

Deontay is entitled to his opinion.

**** Eddie Hearn

[deathofaclown]

This coming from the guy who tried to promote Aj as if he were some sort of an all time great when in reality he’s barely above average.

When Eddie was on Sky, they once had a poll for people to vote the top 5 heavyweights of all time and they included AJ in the 5

Not hatin on GGG . Sorry but which elite fighter has he defeated. Jacobs and Derevyanchenko ? If he can be a hall of famer, so can many others..and so can Wilder.
