ko artist? With the exception of a old past his prime Ortiz - the rest of Wilder’s supposed historic ko’s were against nothing but tomato cans and cherry-picks. Only fought 3 legit top hw and only ko’d one. Line up the same list of bums(pre-Ortiz) for Foreman, Lewis, Aj, Vitali and they easily would have the same ko percentage.

Tend to agree.
He mighta been mentally retired in the Helenius fight too, but Helenius wasn't up to the task that Parker was to better show it. His whole transition in the last couple yrs has been a lot different than his time when he was excelling more in boxing. Dude is doing ayahuasca retreats, releasing r&b songs & doing what if scenarios involving his grandpas cum on podcasts. This is a whole other mfer then the guy who KO'd everyone he fought except Tyson Fury & still gave Fury his toughest fight while coming up short & talking about wanting to kill someone in the ring.Comment

He can come back anytime he wants to, but nowadays everyone is going after money fights. They're even terrified of taking stay-busy fights. So I doubt he'll be back with sense of the real sport of boxing just wanting to prove something not only the money part.Comment

Of course wilder can comeback. Just not against anyone who moved head. Voila, fight jarrel miller. If deontay ko s miller, which he will do he can go down as a real hard puncher historicallyComment

The only promoter willing to pay for that would be Triller and it’d be a 1/16 of the purse both made tonightComment

Vitali did the exact same thing. He was the cherry pick king of his era. He beat mostly weak opponents & his 2 top tier opponents he lost to including quitting once. Wilder should be in the Hall of Fame if Vitali is. I don’t even like Wilder. You can’t put Vitali in the same breath as the other 3. What was his best win? I’m from that era. The guy makes voluntary defences against Sosnowski, Kevin Johnson & ducked David Haye.The guy flat out struggled with Chisora & told Haye on live TV if you beat Delboy you will get your shot. Haye knocked Chisora out in 5 rounds & Vitali fought Charr instead. the hypocrisy here is amusing.Comment

oh you can definitely compare the two. Again the golden age of HWs was the 1960s - 90s. After that it was a decade of the Klitschkos and their weak azz resumes. Then there was Wilder, AJ and Fury. No HW on either side of the pond besides those three will be considered an ATG. Not Lyllian White, Chisora, Andy Ruiz or Luis Ortiz. Thank God we got 3 Wilder v Fury fights and Fury proved he was better. Fury probably retires if he beats Usyk so no Fury v AJ. So now the next era of HWs supremacy for the next 5 years will be MR getting whatever they can left out of AJ, TR pushing Jared Anderson and PBC pushing Frank Sanchez.Comment
