    By your cheese ball rankings which don’t mean anything to anyone. You’re obviously not a fan so I say again why do you even care? You’re not changing anyone’s opinion. People like who they like and it is what it is.

        Sounds like a lot of hate from people who won't get in the ring themselves. Is Wilder a paragon of skill? No. But if it were so easy to knock out that many guys because the heavyweight division sucks, why hasn't anyone else done it? Why does he have more title defenses at heavyweight than Fury, AJ, Ruiz, and Usyk combined? If it's so easy to knock Ortiz out, which he's done twice, why couldn't Ruiz do it? Ortiz has only ever been knocked out by Wilder. On the flip side, if Fury is so great and Wilder sucks so much, why was Wilder able to put him on the canvas 4 times? It's not like the other guys have fought that many more top opponents, as Willow the Wisp was pointing out the other day.

        It's easy to sit on your couch and hate on a guy that's accomplished more than you.

          Wilder is a one trick pony but what a trick. The right hand is Elite and that is about it but some how he delivers it.

              hes knocked out one top 10 fighter his entire career, hes 37 years old and its been almost 9 years that hes been a champion or championship level. why are we still doing this? why do people have this mental block where they keep saying this guy is so devastating without any facts to back them up?

                  Wilder has 2 groups of fan boys.


                  1. Blacks who are clinging to their last hope
                  2. Fury fanboys who are desperately trying to elevate Wilder to enhance Fury's legacy



                  the fact is Wilder has not beat anybody worth a damn. He's a b-level fighter.

                    Wilder has "elite" power. He will always be in talks among the elites as long as he KO's every opponent put in front of him not named Fury. If he wasn't so elite, I imagine AJ wouldn't have been ducking him for years. Still not elite enough for AJ, right?

                      His resume is poor but the right hand is legit. Even some durable fighters have been put to sleep. There is not one fighter that has faced him and said he doesn't hit that hard. If anything some don't even know they got KOed. His skills suck and when he does the windmill it is embarrassing. For someone that started so late in boxing he has had a decent career.
