Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Cannot Believe How Highly People Rate Wilder, He's Never Beaten a Top-Five Foe

[Muchen]

He put Fury on his ass 4 times. Every man he fights tastes the canvas. Fury just somehow became a power puncher in their second fight, and that changed things. I knew Fury was the better boxer, but I never thought he would be stopping Wilder.

Laughable. Stiverne I (#4 overall) and Ortiz I (#4 overall) were top 5 heavyweights. The link is below. Fck that little boat captain Hearn.

He drew with the number 1 guy and nearly stopped him . I scored fight for a fury but still a creditable draw

Wilder not got great wins but he hits hard enough for me to think he might ve beat chinny wlad. And he did look ok beating Ortiz in frst fight. And the people he beat rate him.
I think Ortiz speaks quite highly of wilder

Both Klitschko brothers offered Wilder a title shot and Wilder rejected both offers because "Wilder is a baby and is not ready for a title shot" even though Wilder had won over 30 fights by KO.
Wilder ducked the Klitschko bros.
Wilder was getting beaten by Ortiz up until the KO. A overhyped 40 year old with high blood pressure was beating Wilder.

Eddie Hearn telling objectively false information once again.

Stiverne was #2 and Ortiz was #5 so that’s two that’s he beat who were in the Top 5 according to The Ring.

Forgot about the bits when he knocked Fury down 3 times? What’s even the point in trying to discredit Wilder? Hearn the hater.

That's what i was thinking what an idiot he should be bigging Wilder up as a real threat if he really intends on AJ fighting him december/early next year seems like the opposite of promoting.

[mromano]

Not a Wilder fan, but he beats every current heavyweight not named Tyson Fury. Quite easily I may add.

[unknowledgeablepugilist]

Wilder KOd Ortiz which is more impressive than any AJ victory and Ortiz was definitely top 5 when that happened but nice try eddie

What makes Ortiz a more impressive win over Povetkin or Klitschko? Is it the eye test? Because Ortiz wasn't as accomplished as a professional or amateur boxer, compared to those two names.

Eddie Hearn. Doing a great job of promoting a potential AJ/Wilder fight. This guy sucks at his job.

[Liondw]

He's got a point, but the thing they rate is Wilder's right hand power.

We know he's not a good boxer, but with the limitations, still beat everyone but Fury. That's not to say he could beat Usyk, or that he will beat Joshua. He is favoured over AJ though, seeing how vulnerable Joshua has been.
