I would like to watch K one more time.

I would like to watch him kick bum's squad's arse.
I know he can do it.

Well, anyone legit can, but I would like to watch him do it.

Wlad was awesome.... looked like the greatest heavyweight of all time fighting cans, and just got unlucky that he was past-prime when he fought a legitimate threat.

we waiting on your keen observation thread of this fight in the lounge.

please make them

Didn't he duck Wilder?

Wilder is the one current top HW I would still pick even this old sloppy Wlad over. I mean imagine Wlad getting his **** rocked multiple times by Eric Molina.

Didn't he duck Wilder?

No, Wilder has avoided Wlad, Ortiz, Povetkin and all the other good HWs.

Joshua is much better than Wilder.

Class act all the way. I only wish he would have fought this way against Fury. If this ends up being his last fight he went out on his sword. Showed a lot of heart today.

Loved the fight and loved the heart he displayed. Definitely a HOFer but I can't mark him as an ATG. He reigned over the worst era of Heavyweights ever. His bro paved his way and kept it clear.

It's also quite telling that the two fighters with size on him beat him handily. Although, one can argue age. Either way, HOF for sure but not ATG.

Many excellent posts in this thread, greatly outnumbering the bad ones.

What's this bs about you can't mark him as an ATG. No one cares what you can't mark him as, because boxing history will clearly remember him as an ATG, a top 10 one at that. He's had a 10 year reign, second only to Joe Louis. He has held titles more years all together than any heavyweight in history. He unified the division, and boxed an elite level up to 41 years of age.

Yes, he's definitely an all-time great.
