Wilder looked terrible against Parker; and it could be the 2 year break or being shot. We just don't know yet.
It's just that Parker didn't look like some lowly ranked fighter. I was very confident in Parker and couldn't understand how Wilder could be such a favourite.
I can't see how Zhang is any problem for AJ. He's slow and lacks stamina to a ridiculous degree. Joshua could take him the distance pretty comfortably but I'd back him to finish it sooner.
Whereas I think Wilder always has a puncher's chance. I've always had Joshua 60/40 over Wilder. Probably more like 70/30 now but that's still a decent chance.

Parker said Zhang hit harder than wilder. People will say wilder didn't land? Surely wilder must have landed 1 punch?

i feel that Zhang is a big problem for anyone, and that so far, it's taken a bad decision to defeat him. That said regarding Joshua, and because styles make fights; I like Joshua against Fury better than I'd like Wilder, Usyk, ortiz, Ruiz or Zhang.
Anway, we're making good progress now getting the fights done before this era closes at the end of next year.

Don't you feel any shame in trying to make a point using statistics that show Tyson Fury as a "harder puncher" than George Foreman and Mike Tyson?Last edited by daggum; 04-18-2024, 12:43 PM.

He sure didn't land anything flush. We'd be looking at Wilder vs. Joshua now if he had. As for Parker, I'm suprised that he even remembers the Zhang fight, spending so much of it sitting at The Big ****'s feet.

No because as you can see furys sample size is very small compared to those guys. Also their ko percentages dramatically decreased the second half of their careers which fury hasn't had yet. Tyson for example kod 6 of his first 8 top 10 opponents then his ratio fell off. Foreman 6 out of his first 7. Wilder 2 out of 7 and That makes Wilders ko ratio even worse because he's already gone through his prime period where he should be at his best racking up Kos and yet he didn't. I would expect furys ko rate to drop off as well as he ages if he continues fighting quality opponents but prime for prime no he's not a harder puncher and the Stats confirm that. Just like the stats confirm prime wilder isn't the hardest puncher ever or even close.
Frequent use of terms like Cans and Bums to describe WBC ranked contenders disqualifies you as a serious person to discuss Boxing with.
