    Is Wilder still a contender for GOAT or is he a bum?

    When he beat the legendary Luis Ortiz a great young buck in his own right this place was full of folks saying he’d beat Louis, Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, Holmes and Foreman. I was laughed at for suggesting Holmes had better skill.

    His amazing achievement in beating a god in Stiverne and a top 5 all-time in Ortiz had seemingly propelled him to #1 or 2 all-time but then last night he got his **** pushed in by a drug addict who’d lost 150 plus pounds and had three years off. I mean I was told he had more skill than Lomachenko but he looked clueless last night against a guy still shaking off rust.

    Is it fair to say he was overrated and he’s indeed a terrible fighter? I think it’s clear now people fell for the hype.

    IMO he's not the goat.

    Fury is better.

        Great thread OP. I still remember when certain bum lickers were saying he'd starch a prime 1988 Tyson lol

        That said I do think Wilder is the GOAT but Fury is second and AJ third. But you never know with these fans man, one day they might put AJ up as the GOAT, then Fury, then back to Wilder

          You should have seen the **** that was being spouted out about him but now you have to jump on the bandwagon and all Wilder GOAT until the Joshua fan club comes along

            Whoever said he was the goat??? the guy is a tough champion and has a real equalizer in his fist as he just showed again..Fury should have won but I dont see anyone else giving Wilder those issues as there is no other Fury at heavyweight

              Who in the hell called him the GOAT? He's an elite HW of this era. Fury is probably the best HW of this era and Wilder came within a hair's breath of stopping him.

              How anyone can call him a "bum" based on Sat night is just truly ignorant..

                    After he beat the supposedly legendary Luis Ortiz this place was full of people saying he'd KO every heavyweight in history and was better than Lewis, Louis, Holmes etc; I remember being laughed at because I suggested Holmes may have had more skill.
