That was funny. I clearly predicted Wilder to lose every round against Parker and almost everybody laughed. Old washed up part-time boxer Wilder has always been a great winnable fight for Parker.
I wasn't referring to you. I know you picked Parker, as did a few of us. But point of correction: Wilder isn't old, washed up, or part-time, he only broke ties with his protection program (PBC) and has now allowed the world see him for who he truly is: "an American hype". There are many fighters today who would beat him, then and now, outside a PBC controlled environment, but the protection program wouldn't allow it happen.
If he were still under PBC control, they would have cooked up a dive for him (current Miller would have been an ideal candidate for the right price) and then call for a cash out vs Joshua, similar to how they did with that joke-called-fight vs his friend Hellinuis.

Reason: Spelling correction
Wilder isn’t some boxing genius that will take advantage of all that. And Zhang has a good chin. I think it’s a dangerous fight for Wilder. Wilder’s ability to take a punch has also looked really suspect. Joseph Parker hurt him several times.
Yeah but of the quality opponents this is One of His better stylistic ones.

Wilder isn't washed Up. Parker is the first opponent besides Fury who was a good fighter that was also aggressive.
Got to give a slight advantage to Zhang. He fights better with both hands and that bomb he throws with his left has a hair trigger. Wilder's right hand has a hitch in it.
