    We've seen Wilder employ this strategy where he gives opponents false confidence, and then snipers them when they fall into repetition or let their guard down. Wilder has done this measuring move before. It can be very devastating because even if his glove is blocking their vision for a fraction of a second, that's enough to throw a quick right that they can't see. And of course the ones you can't see are the killers.

      This may be a stretch but he might be the most dominant heavyweight in boxing history.

        Why do you disagree?

          Foreman would have NO CHANCE against Wilder. And that's not a knock against Foreman in any way. It's evolution baby.
          Humans have been roughly the same for thousands of years...but somehow there was a vast evolution of the species within the last 30-40 years that makes wilder superior to george foreman?

                Wilder is chinny & would be Ko'd by George easily. He's not fought anybody that will be remembered in 20 years time.

                  No doubt that Wilder is improving. But he is working on a level where there is not much opposition...checkers, not chess. Truly impressive watching Foreman, move Joe Frazier around the ring to measure him continually. George knows that when his hand is extended, on Joe's shoulder, that Frazier won't have the reach to connect and that George will have the reach to connect on Joe.

                  Wilder has to take it to another level and work against an opponent who is capable of some resistance to being measured. part of the structure of punching through the "power line" is when an opponent makes an adjustment that throws off the alignment of the puncher's preferred line...
                  Oh, I wasn't arguing or suggesting he's on the level, I just thought it was neat Wilder used a classic Foreman move to end this fight given we'd already begun comparing Wilder and Foreman.

                    Foreman also had great timing to go with his power.

                    Wilder wouldn't last 4 rounds against Big George.

                      Makes sense.
