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.
well said, pretty sure thats what Sulaiman meant
Wilder/Joshua is a 50/50 fight
would not be surprised at all if some favor Wilder, who will be right in that fight
All I can say is that he can punch. Damn, that man can punch! Well at least with Mike Tyson; He literally tried to rip off his opponent's head. He was a brute in the ring. However with Wilder, he's unique. It all seems to come very natural for him. He damn near decapitates his opponent's without so much as trying. It just goes to show how much of a talented and gifted puncher he is.

I'll give you the Tyson, but nowhere close to Ali, and his jab is better, just not like Holmes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm on the BombSquad team but bringing Ali & Holmes into it is a little bit of a stretch.

I agree he's not close to Ali as a talker, but look at the last 10-20 years of WBC heavyweight champions. Wilder's the most charismatic in recent memory.
You can be closer than others and still not be close, if that makes sense...
