Comments Thread For: Holyfield: Wilder is The Best at Heavyweight, Not Joshua

[champion4ever]

Evander Holyfield is saying a mouthful. While true, Deontay Wilder may be the least skilled out of three but at the same time he overcompensates it with sheer will, determination, honor, courage and valor.

In addition, he takes risks, he doesn't duck anyone. However, what really distinguishes and sets him apart from all the rest is his one punch game changing knockout power.

That is something that can never be taught. It's something one is born with. Thereby making him in my opinion, while agreeing with Holyfield; The best heavyweight boxer and champion in the world.

Smart man that Holyfield! ....Lennox now Holyfield is stating the obvious! Joshua TALKS a whole lot with a smiling fake candor, especially only AFTER his promoter tries to paint the "we tried everything possible to make the fight" narrative. Holyfield isnt ******, the writing is on the wall.

Turning down 50mil after swearing you'd take it for the fight is bamsy boy soft talk!! Now Poshua rushes to NY for a guy he deems very wack in the division - dropping about a $6mil to bait him into imagining having all the burgers he can eat, while keeping his zombie following intact!.... Smart man that Ray Leonard, err.. I mean Lennox, uuhh, I mean Fury...so sorry I mean Holyfield...

Joshua hasn’t got anything left to prove. There are too many short memory ‘fans’ on here. Wilder fought 39 bums, nearly got beat by Ortiz and then was beaten by an 80% Fury.

Joshua has done more in less time and is rated #1 by the ranking systems that matter.

Yes, Lennox, Sugar Ray, Holyfield are all ATG’s but they just push an opinion based on their own agenda which suits Wilder fans agenda’s. Joshua is the #1 HW in the world, it’s a fact, not opinion. It’s a bitter pill to swallow for Wilder fans to swallow but swallow they must.

Gotta agree with the Real Deal. That fight definitely should've been stopped. Fury was given too much time to recover

lol like fury doesn't exist

Wilder does have great athleticism and power. He is a world champion and I’m not taking anything away from him in that regard but you call out things that so many other have.

You can say that any top level fighter has courage, will, determination because you NEED that to fight to be a world champion! It’s just part of being a professional level fighter.

Dude, he ducked Klitschko. It’s well documented that he did. If he fights Joshua I’ll take this back but he also ducked Joshua. He only took the risk with Fury because Fury was coming back after two years of self abuse and a PED ban and it back fired.

If Wilder hits Joshua first Wilder wins. Simple as that.

and other way round.

Big fan of Holyfield but he’s talking wet here

Joshua will end the wilder hype ... he’s different gravy

Obvious stuff to non-trolls and people with eyes in their head. Well said.

I don’t doubt Holyfields credentials, he is an ATG. But of course he is going to back another Alabaman black guy who won the Olympic Bronze. Wilder is NOT Holyfield and never will be...Holyfield needs to realise this.

That’s some racist a$$ shyt u **** head

What is all this about AJ all of a sudden not fighting nobody? He's fought arguably tougher opposition than Wilder and Fury.

How can you also criticise the ref giving Fury a fair opportunity to mount a recovery?

These guys shouldn't be asked for their opinion, it's almost never measured or not biased.

[MELLOMAN007]

Not fair there Real Deal. Until they've all fought it's merely an opinion .He is the most dangerous but does that make him the best?

You answered your own question with the sentence before it. This is Evander's opinion. Hopefully we get to see it confirmed sooner than later.
