    What would even make Wilder above average in athleticism? He did nothing particularly athletic in that fight.

    Anyone comparing Wilder to a prime Tyson in athleticism simply doesn't know what the word means. That isn't a matter of opinion, it's a matter of poor vocabary.



    Wilder moves like dinosaur. Pulev is more athletic, smoother footwork, faster hands.

      Prime example of how these sports are taking all our heavies.
      Yeah I get it you like basketball, pretty much all of your 5,293 posts are some variation of "I like basketball".

      How does that mean Wilder is the most athletic of all time?

          This thread is ****ing ******!

          How do you define "athletic"?

          Muscularity, leanness, stamina, speed, agility?

          Or sport-specific skills?

          Because CLEARLY the guys with a lifetime boxing pedigree who become serious champs are the most athletic when it comes to talking about sport-specific skills.

          Obviously though, you are taking athleticism to mean that which is bestowed by youth like speed, agility and high-end fitness.

          Well we can cross the basketballers OFF then! They have agility in the legs, not the upperbody. They have speed but not like a boxer. And they have nowhere near the conditioning of a boxer.

          Football is a running sport so their athleticism is closer measured, but footballers make shocking boxers in general and boxers make shocking footballers in general also, so this point is meaningless!

          Wilder is an athletic boxer in the most modern era so OF COURSE he is going to be more athletic than PAST eras HW's.

          But how can you claim he is more athletic than say David Haye?

          Haye is faster, more agile and almost definitely has a better tank. I would say he'd be 1 that is more athletic. Wladimir Klitschko would be another as well!

            Any athlete in any sport could have gone a different path. Doesn't mean they would have had success if they did.

              Agreed. Tyson is more athletic than Wilder too, both in a sport-specific way AND in speed, gas and agility.

              Just a superior athlete!

                Cutthroats definition of athletic according to the several threads he's made tonight:

                Tall
                Plays basketball

                That's it, he has mentioned nothing else. He keeps repeating that anyone who plays basketball is more athletic than any boxer and failing to qualify it.

                I believe it has nothing to do with boxing or sports at all and he has a very specific sexual fetish, which we discussed a couple days ago

                  Pretty much.

                  I'm just trolling a little tonight.

                  I think the limeys on here know that.

                  The rest of these eastern-bloc commie panty sniffers, not so sure.

                    Wilder is very athletic BUT Cutthroat is clearly trolling with this thread. It must be a response to slimshadys pathetic threads.

                      Fast twitch muscle fibers doe.
                      Hey, here's an idea Cutthroat, go watch NBA.
                      Why are you even here? Clearly the athletes here aren't doing it for you.
                      They're clearly not catering to your "tastes" lol
