    Wilder would not have lasted two rounds against Frazier or any other HW of that era. I don't think he lasts two rounds against Joshua today and Wlad may well kill him in the ring. Seeing his mug for the camera at the end of the fight was totally embarrassing. He had nothing to gloat about last night.

    Walters has to move up. When you start missing weight at that division, it's time to be realistic and move up. I don't seeing him getting a fight with Loma in any case now, as he no longer has a title to bring to the table so no reason for Loma to fight him.

    Verdajo is very promising. He obviously needs some good quality matches and some proper guidance and direction, but I think he has a very promising future ahead of him and we will be enjoying watching him fight for years to come.

      Point taken, but that's totally unfair to Smokin Joe. Pick a different 70s name - preferably a white guy - and I'll probably agree...
