Wilder would be a guard in he played in the nba.

Shaq isn't ranked so Wilder might fight him next. Haha. He'll ask WBC for a fourth voluntary defense

Smfh Wilder fightin De La Hoya's leftovers. The bum hunting never ends.

Shaquille looks like Mr. Potato head. Fat ****. Living the good life.
Wilder looks like Shaquille's boy toy, they are in San Francisco after all.

Look at David Haye VS Nikolai Valuev...Plus Shaq was probably the biggest basketball player in the NBA when playing.

Valuev was really slow though, these NBA players are all very agile, flexible, fast to react, they're all like Joshua or Wilder but much larger. Wilder is relatively small compared to most NBA players, there are even a ton of college athletes much larger than him.

Take this guy for example, 20 years old, 6'10 250lbs of muscle, didn't even make the NBA, there are loads of guys like these:



They're all in the same mold as a Joshua or Wilder, but much more physically gifted.

and ppl say the hw division doesnt need weight changes lol
just imagine of our bigs in the US didnt play basketball...we'd run boxing easily

Basketball and big men have been around since forever. Why didn't all these seven foot lanky mofos dominate the 60s and 70s?

Wilder's fist looks like a little boys when compared to Shaq. If Shaq was a Fighter his entire Fist would cover your entire face. I doubt a 12 ounce glove fits his fist

Shak salty look how Wilder towers over him.

This literally had me laughing out loud. I'm still laughing as I type this post.

So what are all these failed athletes doing now with their lives?

So what are all these failed athletes doing now with their lives?

This guy in particular is overseas playing for some European teams. A lot of them just go into the workforce which is the path Wilder was on, same path Jennings was on. These athletes come in all sizes, it's not just limited to HW. James Toney could've easily chosen football over boxing, Shawn Porter too, both standout football players. Holyfield discovered boxing at the YMCA while playing football/basketball, these days much of these boxing programs don't even exist at the Y.
