I though you just mistyped the thread title, which can easily happen when one is on their phone.
I'm sure many others thought the same and thus chose to overlook the entire punchline of your little joke.Comment

You really don’t understand this sport, or sport in general, do you?Sometimes he looks like those tall skinny kids at the gym learning to box. Then you realise he's the Heavyweight champ of the world.
it's bizarre cos his trainer is Breland, one of the greatest amateurs of all time and a perfect technician. You think he would get his skills up in no time.
Breland took years and more than 100 amateur bouts — most of them at the top national and international level — and hundreds upon hundreds of rounds of sparring to get to the point that you describe ... and that’s before he turned pro.
Transitive properties don’t work like “Peyton Manning is a great quarterback with great fundamentals, if he spends time with a quarterback then that quarterback will become Peyton Manning in no time.”
Wilder has improved. You probably don’t notice things like how he uses his left to parry, how he controls distance, how his footwork has gotten better, how he uses different type jabs in different ways, etc.
A lot of what you saw last night had to do with fighting a super-experienced, super-skilled southpaw. Watch a lot of fights between right-handlers vs. lefties where there’s not a huge gap in ability/level and see how many righties are able to use their jabs effectively.
Yes, Wilder is flawed but he’s not without skill. There’s a reason he’s one of the two best heavyweights in the game. Lots of big, tall guys out there. Lots of big punchers. But he and AJ are at the top beacuse their total package is better.Comment
