Comments Thread For: Surrounded By Soldiers, Usyk Warns Fury He Is Ready

I disagree. The "Wilder's mediocre opposition" claim is refuted. It's a myth. Parker got beat up and starched against Joyce, and benefitted from questionable decisions against Ruiz and Zhang, who starched Joyce twice. Where are Parker's 10 successful title defenses.

Usyk may better Wilder's collective performance against the Champion on Saturday, or not.
All boats will rise or ebb depending on who wins.

Great so what does that say about Wilder, who was completely whitewashed by Parker, losing every round on one scorecard? That he’s the 2nd best of his era according to you? The current HW rankings will tell you that the correct answer to this question is that with all things said and done, he may not even end up top five, something that may well have been made obvious earlier if he’d consistently fought better opposition. Either way, the more you diminish Parker, the worse Wilder looks for losing to him and the more you prove my point.

Wilder has beaten two Ring-rated heavyweights out of 44 opponents faced, and that is the plain truth. There is no myth here..his record is out there for everyone to see.

All it says is don't pick a division spoiler (Parker) for an opponent after effectively being off for two years.
They've all had off nights.

My recommendation would be: Learn more about the relative merits of Wilder/Fury/Usyk/Joshua/Ruiz career opposition before forming such dug-in opionions.

Someone tell John that you're not supposed to headbutt someone on the forehead. Aim for the nose, you pathetic old man!

A lot harder to aim for the nose on someone who's so much smaller than you

2 years LMAO..you’re literally straight up lying at this point. Wilder was out for almost half that time, and that doesn’t excuse such a poor showing.

None of what I’ve stated is even an opinion. Wilder got washed by Parker, stopped twice by Fury and has beaten two Ring-rated fighters his entire career..those are facts. You stating he’s the second best in this era behind only Fury is an opinion, and a ridiculously biased one not grounded in reality.

Then use your elbow.
