Wilder is a bum beater. Correct. We are on the same page so far.
In Ali's day however there were a couple of guys with much worse records on Ali's resume. I am not talking about bummy opponents, I am talking about a couple of Ali's TOP opponents. Sonny Liston and Ken Norton. Even era and weight irrespective, these guys objectively had a record many times worse than Wilders!
Ironically, Ali never convincingly beat Liston, and Norton realistically beat him 3 times in a row. Ali is credited officially with 2 wins over Liston and 2 over Norton and they are considered even despite the controversies, 2 of his BEST opponents!
Wilder has limited skill BUT Ali himself ALSO had limited skill. Wilder is FASTER than Ali! Wilder has a stiffer JAB than Ali! Wilder doesn't run away, Wilder doesn't wrestle, he purely boxes (only 10% of Ali's performance can even be described as "boxing".
Wilder's physical advantages are so immense over Ali, it is physically impossible for Ali to even mount any kind of fight against him, let alone try to win!
Only the purest of nut bags think of Ali that way. And Stiverne, **** as he was, would still have knocked any HW from the 70's out.
You trash good current boxers...
And you support rudimentary ancient champs that boxed 50 years ago!
