    Joe Louis didn't fight like he was terrified....he laid mofos SLEEP...

    The man was fearless.

      Not at all! It was a great fight!

      I wish it happened in the states only because then I'd have gone to it.

        Wawrzyk was a very, very weak opponent.
        One (Glazkov) opted to fight for a vacated title and lost due to an injury.
        Wilder avoided him.
        And he does have a few respectable names on his resume, though none quite where Wlad (even at 41) is.
        Wilder has no top 10 HWs on his resume. Stiverne is a pile of ****.

        Wilder has definitely fought decent, if not spectacular heavyweights and tried to fight even better ones.
        No, he's fought the weakest opponents he could find, such as poor shot Arreola, completely shot Lyakhovich, and Molina who even Arreola beat by KO.

            Ha, he is an exception and just like we say here: exceptions don't change the facts. AJ is clearly, clearly ducking Wilder, saying he's OK in UK, it's true but we call it ducking.

                I mean yeah you can use his name for now because he still hasnt fought anyone but soon he will be chinned.

                Joseph Parker is preparing to get amongst it and i see a trilogy coming with him and AJ.

                We also have junior fa who would beat wilder too

                Where the next seth mitchell at?
                No. It doesn't hurt at all. This is one weight division, but don't forget there are way more. We acquit ourselves pretty well comparatively in those. Actually we are chitting on the brits in the other divisions.

                    Do you even follow the sport?

                    No, Povetkin failed the test.

                    They never decided that he didn't test positive for meldonium.

                    They simply decided in the end to buy his explanation, since meldonium has a wonky half-life.

                    And that decision that was subsequently proven to be ill advised as Povetkin turned around and failed ANOTHER test after being reinstated, this time for Ostarine while preparing to fight Stiverne.

                    Wilder was set to fight Wawrzyk, who weak or not, was coming in with 6 straight KOs. Wawrzyk tested positive for Stanizol, which might explain those knockouts.

                    And no, Stiverne is not a pile of crap.

                    BWare beats plenty of AJ's, Fury's, and even Wlad's recent opponents, a good fighter if not a great one.

                    Having guys test positive on you indicates that those opponents thought enough of Wilder to try and cheat.
                    One of those cheater was Povetkin, who I gather you might think is pretty good...
