    Wilder wouldn't last 4 rounds against Big George.
    I don't know. Wilder is a lot like Liston.

        Sheldon....Loose lips sink ships bru! THINK about the things that come out of your pie hole. Seriously. Liston fought fighters who were well trained and capable. Wilder has not fought competition yet. Liston was polished and could fight 3 minutes of each round for 12-15 rounds. Wilder cannot fight a whole round yet without serious lapses.

        Wilder could develop some chops, I hope he does. but he has a lot of ground to make up given his age and experience. At the level he is fighting he can catch guys with a good shot and its great, I have seen some fabulous punches issued from the "bomb squader" but...at the next level? and the level above? guys like cat williams? where Night Train plied his trade? Not happening! Unless Deontay learns a lot quick...NFL quarterbacks have that kind of learning curve.

            Foreman would have NO CHANCE against Wilder. And that's not a knock against Foreman in any way. It's evolution baby.

                you're watching old school heavyweights face other old school heavyweights. so you're judging their "greatness" based on the speed/strength/nutrition/recovery/supplements/training/drugs/etc of their time.

                but all of those things advance over 30-40 years. guys like wilder, joshua, etc would absolutely dominate the top heavyweights of 30-40 years ago. it's evolution baby.

                    Foreman was chinny? lol idiot

                    If you are using the Ali KO as an indicator of him having a bad chin, then you dont know sht about boxing.

                    It was fatigue that did him in.. not his chin.
