    It will all result in a childish back n forth, the bottom line is both guys are doing what they have to do with whats in front of them. It makes no sense for the fan base of any to criticize the other. Wilders future seems to be looking bright opponent wise since there are a few guys on the rise in the HW division so we will see. GGG on the other hand is being ducked super hard I agree, however he doesn't have much longer in his prime hopefully after this joke of a fight with kell brook one of the guys in his division will budge or he will at least fight Lara or someone in 154.

      The man is a beast. Power is the one gift that stays with you your whole career. Foreman was knocking out mofos in his 40s. The Bronze Bomber is going to be here for a long time. Once that arm heals, he'll baptize Fury.

        i actually think he's a coordinated athlete. certainly more coordinated than tony thompson, or even arreola. being a coordinated athlete and knowning how to manage and coordinate a 6'7" body in a boxing match are different things. it takes men fo that size, a long, ,long time to learn to box, and it's because they have to do so much more "coordinating" than a 5'7" jr welterweight with a foot and a half less reach.


        i don't tink a lot of you guys are used to watching HW, frankly. power, jabs, chins, and size rule the division, not head movement, activity, and foot movement, the way you see in smaller weight classes.
        I agree with this really.

        It is impossible to enter heavyweights into a P4P debate because the vast majority look so ungainly. Some are all arms and legs. Some are all flab and ****. And the fights themselves are long periods of nothing interjected with periods of SOMETHING - usually a big massive man hitting another massive dude really hard in the head. I love heavyweights. But a lot of these guys are superheavies. They would look awkward riding a bicycle never mind boxing.

          Wilder is extremely athletic, fast and strong, fairly fluid also, he has all the physical gifts one can have... But he needs to work on some things, punching technique, footwork, achieve better balance and defense... He's still a bit too emotional also in the ring, especially when the opponent is hurt...

          Also we all want to see him in the ring with a legit top 10...

            Because it's not an arguement. It's a decade. I have also been boxing literally a decade (2006) and I am 10x more fundamentally sound and fluid.

            Granted, I am an amateur, and New England does make a point about us with smaller frames having it easier, but you can't box for 10 years and use inexperience as an excuse for poor fundamentals and balance. I never had issues with balance by the way. If you are truly athletic you will have good balance and reflexes in any sport even if you are unfamilar with it.

              the worst you can say about ggg's resume is that its full of B level fighters (not his fault though). Bum squad has only fought one fighter who can even be classed as B level lol, and he took him the distance and was ill on the night of the fight

                He also might be the most powerful ever, next to Foreman.
                He also might have the best HW physique ever.
                You don't count the legs when you mean "physique"?

                  Would like to see some names of past heavyweight champions who had so little time in boxing in general (wilder started in his late 20s), won a medal in the olympics and won a heavyweight championship.

                    its the same type of hit that wilder hit molina with and molina dropped like a sack of potatoes.

                      He wild as ****...but call me crazy...I liked that about him....that way of punching guys just for funor trying to make fun of them.

                      He made me a believer with the Spilka fight...So I support him..I can make an argument about him lacking balance..but hey, the guy is 6'7 so I dont care about that...he is never going to fix that, at this age and with that kind of habits.
