[QUOTE=glenn mcrory;15988187]Pretty sure this fat, out of shape milk dud did it.




Yeah I figured you would mention this. First of all I meant hit it and stay down. I could have worded it better so my bad and about that sconiers I'd hardly call that a clean knockdown. Sconiers doesn't hit nearly as hard as stiverne and wilder got popped a couple times I didn't see any knees buckle. His chin is just fine. But hey if I'm proved wrong then I'm proved wrong but I doubt it.

Fury is a hair ahead of Wilder in terms of proven stuff, but that's really the next tier after Povetkin. The next level after that is guys like Charr, Jennings, Glazkov, Cunningham, the elder Chagaev. By this time next year, I could see Joshua and/or Parker ahead of just about anyone but Wlad. That's the real future of the division. Joshua is a little more refined than Parker at this stage. I'd take Joshua to beat Wilder now. Parker is pick 'em. It's an increasingly fun class.

Interesting. Not so sure why Jennings gets such a bad rap though. Agree about Parker and Joshua - just wish they could be moved forward a bit faster. Why is it that HWs are babied far more than other weight classes? If Joshua could potentially beat Wilder now and Wilder is in that 2nd tier then why can't Joshua at least be matched against a Cunningham or Charr?

he was knocked out by some russian in amateurs. There is a video on youtube

He was not knocked out for the count and unconscious they just stopped the fight. And what was that his first or second year fighting.

I think Joshua is being moved fine. He's been a pro two years. People get impatient with hyper talents, but he's a long term commodity. He's not just some guy. He's a potential Heavyweight kingpin. He's not an Inoue whose movement reflects the shorter self life for talent at lower classes. His movement schedule is about on par with the Klitschko's, Bowe, Lewis. Gary Cornish is arguably a better foe then any of them faced in their 14th fight. It's like if the internet had been around and people would have been up in arms when Ray Leonard's team turned down Hearns while they were both on the way up. They were right and that was a ****** idea. It's not the 40s; you don't fight 8-15 times a year. By the end of 2016, I think he'll be fighting top guys right on time. The development curve for a lot of stellar Heavyweights was to arrive at the title around the late-3 to five year mark. Ali, Louis, Lewis, Bowe, Dempsey; all around the same time span.

Perspective amigo.

Joshua will destroy Wilder if they ever meet. Even bum Stiverne was competative against Wilder

Didn't stiverne win one round? Is that what we call competitive now?

[$Bullsfam$]

Yeah Wilder has to fight Klitchscko, Fury, Povetkin, or Jennings next or he's a complete joke of a champion.

This is his last pass. Then we need to see him fight the best. Still would have rather seen him fight Briggs.LETS GO CHAMP

Thanks for your input - good to see you participating on the boards!

They wanted another fight in Alabama for his home fans.

Povetkin fight is going to be either in Moscow or Las Vegas, so this fight is like a last gift for his people before he leaves again.

Duhaupas is a fraud a nothing a joke

Wilder has a string belt maybe as Wlad is the true accepted Heavy cHAMPION. Calling Hayseed Wilder a champ is like calling Al Sharpton a President. Wilder has an IQ of 34 and has to watched 24/7. Wilder has been protected better than *****. It's comical watching this Wilder dimwit review fighting bums like Molina the unknown and now Duhaupas the mystery Frenchie. There never has been one tough French man in all of history. maybe Joan of Arc? Wilder is more a cartoon for kids not a champion. Watch how this plays out? Laugh Laugh
