Comments Thread For: Shaun George: I Believe Zhilei Zhang Would Win A Deontay Wilder Fight By Knockout, Also

[ShoulderRoll]

The old timers fought wayyy more fights than the boxers do today. Old timers fought 100-150 fights whereas today's fighters average about 25-40 fights. It isn't because of modern training methods, its because fighters today are fresher because they don't fight as much. They get paid a lot more so they don't have to fight as much.

Do you research and educate yourself before making incorrect statements about today's boxers being better and stronger than those of yesterday. Mayweather would have been beaten by Sugar Ray Leonard. Zhang would have lost to Bowe, Holyfield, Ali, Holmes, Lewis and a prime Tyson.

Right. I’m the one saying that the old timers had a method to what they did, a method designed to get winning results.

The guy I was responding to is the one that thinks modern fighters are so superior.

I agree with you 10000000%.

Ali slowed down after the Thrilla in Manila fight and didn't box as much but when he trained hard even in his late 30s, he still used his legs. Look at the second Ali vs Spinks fight in 1978 if you think Ali lost his legs. He was dancing from round 1-15. Oh by the way that's when Ali became three time heavyweight champion. Usyk didn't have the same number of fights that Ali had. So of course Usyk was fresher as he got older. Usyk definitely didn't move around the ring the way Ali did.

Ali stopped boxing at 32 in rumble in the jungle which is why he stayed on the ropes.

Ur dreaming


the only super heavy he fought, bashed his head in twice.

his 1 punch KO power don’t work against super heavies. Some slob duhapas took all his shots for 12 rounds. He landed everything.

aj dropped zhang...if wilder connects first it's lights out for zhang.

Wilder’s best shot is as hard or harder than any shot I think ive ever seen. Ive seen all the fights. Shavers. Foreman. etc. He showed he could land a shorter power shot and still roll a guys eye back vs Helenius. Wilder is not heavy so speed is a factor to his punch. Speed is hard to avoid. Wilder is also willing to throw. I like Zhang but fighting Joyce does not get you ready for Wilder. Zhang would have to hurt, swell, drain the energy out of Wilder early to have a chance. Still Wilder could end the fight at any time.
