If the WBC likes him so much, why don't they create a special belt just for him?

I smell a new WBC belt coming.

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.

That dude might say some funny stuff at times but most of the time his elocution is off

Going overboard a tad, but that pic used for this article is hilarious

Outrageous overstatement. The man is a master at talking utter bollocks. Wilder is a bum & he knows it.

You guys need to get the context of what Sulaiman is saying.

He aint saying Wilder is at the same overall skill level as those guys. He just comparing various aspects of those guys to Wilder.

Power = Tyson
Jab = Holmes
Personality traits/Charisma = Ali.

Just those aspects, nothing more, nothing less.

I know, and his power is of the Tyson level, but his jab is nowhere close to Holmes, and as far as charisma, Ali had the entire world's attention with his act, Wilder does not.

This guy must be on drugs... all he is interested in his more sanctioning fees...

[GhostofDempsey]

Did he also see Butterbean, Peter McNeeley , and Bruce Seldon in Stiverne?

I like Wilder but know way is he currently close to being Ali, Tyson or Holmes. Giving the benefit of the doubt, I think Suliman was saying in that moment Wilder reminded him of those fighter. In know way does Wilder have the complete skillset of any of those fighters. With that being said Wilder did what he had to do.
