He’ll have a tougher test than Tyson on3-3, Ortiz, a little older yet similar to the older declining Tyson that Lewis fought but unbeaten with a k.o. ratio. Pass this Tyson-test first, then talk.

See the problem here is that the likes of Ali looked like what Lomachenko looks like to people today, but in his time. He had a huge personality, the context of his reign needs to be kept in mind as well.
Ali was spectacular. Tyson was an absolute beast in his prime that had the world in awe.
Wlad never got the love but he dominated for a decade taking on every top contender and every single mandatory.
Wilder is unknown for a reason. That being nothing about him stands out other than a short highlight video of the moment his right hand makes contact. The guy is literally in there throwing fastballs hoping for one to hit the target.
Wilder has been in trouble against mediocre opposition, has been worked by that same lesser opposition.
He has poor skills, poor footwork, terrible IQ, horrible technique. He is the product of careful maneuvering all for a final cash out bout.
He is one fighter today that will be forgotten the moment he is knocked out because he simply doesn't have the depth to return. If somehow old Ortiz takes him out the magnitude of the exposure will be too great.
What would his handlers do? You can't feed him bums yet again until he become a challenger. You will probably have to put him against a live body that will starch him.
And to add to it all here he comes saying he is a GOAT...and some if you claim "oh how confident! I love it!"
That's not confidence, it simply false bravado.
At least Floyd had legitimate reasons to claim greatness, on what earth can Wilder claim the same?Comment

What advancements is he talking about? He lacks boxing fundamentals, he's sloppy as hell. He wouldn't have even won a title in the 90s. Guys like Frank Bruno and Razor Ruddock would have destroyed stork legs.Comment

I don't understand why all you guys here are taking Wilder seriously. How can a guy who confronted Charlie Zelenoff (a ****** guy, btw, video on Youtube) and beat him in a gym, be taken seriously? He's just as ****** as he looks. Period. Iron Mike would beat the crap out of him, even now, if they came toe-to-toe...Comment

this the same guy that was taking jab lessons from lewis in a parking lot.. but technology doe lol.
he wasn't saying none of this dumb sht before. what happened is all the sht being fed to him after he starched stiverne has got to his head.. now he sees every opponent as stiverne. the delusion is real.
I've said it before im not entirely confident in wilders chin. if ortiz lands flush theres a good chance those bird legs snap.
and a guy that trips on his own feet bragging about his "footwork" is comedy gold.
im a wilder fan but geez man pump those breaks. if he loses his ego wont take it too well. it'll be a hard crash to earth from cloud nine.
or all this simply could be wilder embracing the role of heel. and a great heel is always hated. what better way to enrage people than to sht on past legends lol. its been done before. ali and floyd were the flamboyant bragging heels. liston and tyson were the boogeyman heels. boxing and wrestling are more associated than ppl think.Last edited by future hendrixx; 02-10-2018, 05:23 PM.Comment
