Comments Thread For: WBC Prez on Wilder's Win: I Saw Ali, Tyson, Holmes - All in One!

[Clegg]

In terms of WBC heavyweight fights it reminded me most of that time Kirk Johnson came in fat and looking like a whale vs Vitali and was easily harpooned.

I liked that KO, but that statement?......Ali, Tyson, Holmes?...............NO.

The pure aggression and raw excitement Wilder delivered on Saturday is closer to Tyson than any other WBC heavyweight champion in recent memory.

His gift of gab is closer to Ali than any other WBC heavyweight champion in recent memory.

His gift of jab is closer to Holmes than any other WBC heavyweight champion in recent memory.


Doesn't mean he is on the level of any of those fighters, just that he's shown flashes of some of the traits the public found admirable about those previous WBC heavyweight champions.

Gift of gab? He can barely string two sentences together before he starts stammering.

He does have a bit of a stutter.

Tyson had a lisp and a stutter.

It happens.

But sometimes your charisma, your facial expressions, your passion, etc can help mask any speech impediment and still result in someone being an effective communicator.

Which recent WBC heavyweight champion has been better at talking trash than Wilder? If you're being honest, you're not going to be able to name one.

So when you say he can barely speak, you're clearly just being a hater. You're not analyzing his ability in good faith.

When was the last time the WBC had the HW belt on the line between 2 good/great worthy fighters???

2003?? Lewis/Klitz.

I love these threads that piss people off so badly. That's the quality entertainment I come here for.

Wilder is a mix of Ali and Foreman. A very flawed fighter with open defense and balance problems that punches sporadically in spurts . Hes a back foot fighter with an Ali style movement with Foremans stiff technique and power punching with speed . It makes him dangerous combining similar traits to them but with some open weaknesses as they had .

Know one knows how good he actually is bc he hasnt fought a relevant power puncher yet .

Nobody was more impressed last Saturday night, than World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman. He was ringside at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, watching WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (39-0, 38 KOs) make a statement with a first round destruction of Bermane Stiverne in their mandatory rematch.

the criticism directed toward Wilder is lame, and old

casual-fan idiots start their lame bullshht, and then become a broken record

Stiverne > Povetkin > Ortiz > Joshua, would be a very good run..... Wilder cannot be blamed for the current heavyweight PED epidemic..... he clearly stepped up when he signed to fight Povetkin

he has done everything possible to make the Joshua fight

[N/A]

Holy sht!!! The WBC has the WEAKEST mandatories. They are a JOKE!

Deontay Wilder was the WBC mandatory.

Povetkin was the WBC mandatory (but failed TWO tests, which is why we got stuck with Stiverne).


The WBO mandatory was HUGHIE FURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The IBF Mandatory was GLAZKOV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The WBA mandatory was OQUENDO!!!!!!!!!!!


How can you seriously claim the WBC has the weakest mandatories?
