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

[Guest]

Yep, that 12th round should've been a KO, by any other referee. You don't get knocked out cold and lie motionless for half a count without the fight being waved off. Many fighters try to get up after being knocked out cold, but the refs stop them and tell them the fight is over. It's for the fighter's safety. Instead, Fury got a whole 10 count to snap out of it and additional time walking back and forth to get his senses back.

I know what I saw. That was a KO.

You can't argue with a Windmiller.

Are you being serious? The guy's only fought two live opponents, and against one of them he got a gift draw.

How many risky fights have Anthony Joshua given us boxing fans since becoming the unified heavyweight champion against Klitschko? How many times have he risked his undefeated record, health, future and legacy by giving us boxing fans the fights that we wanted to see since defeating Klitschko in of April 2017 also? The answer is none.

Let's count to 20, why don't we?

The fact that you even start the sentence with "against Klitschko".... even the shopworn version of Klitschko is better than 95% of Wilder's opponents.

Joshua has had just three fights since Klitschko, one to unify against a title holder, another against a former world champion. The public may not have clamoured for Parker or Povetski, but the guy's hardly been fighting cans.

I saw a rundown of Wilder's resume on here the other day (just looked for it, can't locate it right now) and he's rarely fought people inside the top 50.

Why would I need to count to 20? The guy was up off the deck before 9.

LOL this Real Deal is on crack.

Jack Reiss told both fighters in the locker room that if they go down regardless of the circumstance....he will give them a full 10 count to get up. Props to Reiss for that. Now about those sheeyitty ref jobs he did for Ward fights.....

[SN!PER]

In my opinion "The Bronze Bomber" Deontay Wilder is the People's champion. He fights for the fans by giving us the fights that we want to see. He risks not only his undefeated record but also, his health, future and legacy. Not many current Heavyweight boxers and champions can say that.

He's one of the true gladiators, along with Evander Holyfield, Muhammad Ali, and Jack Johnson, who will challenge anyone to prove himself to the people. His self-belief in the ring is so strong. Even when it looks like he has no chance, he battles on like it's the very first round and always finds a way to strike down his adversaries. His fights will be remembered forever by people around the world.

Lol Of course he was! After being knocked out cold for half of that count, he eventually got up.

Standard boxing procedure XD

Evander Holyfield backs WBC world champion Deontay Wilder as the best heavyweight in the world. While he views IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO champion Anthony Joshua as being the most skilled fighter in the division - he can't back him to be the best of the division.

Interesting. But as a father, I have learned people in diapers don't typically have a pulse on reality.
