Wilder is now tied with Ali for the 5th most CONSECUTIVE title defenses

Ali and Joe Louis were the only champions when they make all their defenses.
Klitschko and Holmes were clearly the champions when they made all their defenses.
I would like this generation to stop getting credit for being champions when they’re really contenders.

While 10 defences is impressive, I agree it’s not really comparable to Ali’s reign for the reasons you stated.It cracks me up how people throw stuff like this out there without any context.
Wilder won the title from Bermane Stiverne when Klitschko was in the middle of his 18 consecutive defenses.
Wilder is not heavyweight champion and never was. There isn’t a heavyweight champion right now.
Ali was actually the heavyweight champion of the world when he beat Foreman.
Plus he’d already made 9 I think after beating Liston. He’d have made a good deal more had he not been exiled as well.Comment

Man at this stage & I never thought Id say this but I think it might be a good bet Wilder retires undefeated. The only guy Id favor over him is Fury & thats a focused Fury. Idk how focused Fury is these days on boxing doe is the thing.
Always a shot Wilder will lose to a random mfer, & like I believe I initially predicted, just like with Joshua which has come to pass. But I dont see anyone outright who can handle his power except Fury & Fury barely did it.
Either way I think if Wilder gets past Fury with his 0 intact & assuming hes got 3 to 5 fights or less after that I think Id make him a favorite to retire undefeated.Comment

And everyone says the same **** about Szpilka and Ortiz
come on people, that's how he fights FFS. He waits for that perfect time to land that one right. LIGHTS OUT BABY.
He doesnt have to out-box to win, and he has shown us that multiple times in multiple fights.Comment

I don’t disagree. Wilder is looking like a beast. Retiring undefeated is a possibility. Much of it depends how long he hangs around. The longer you fight, the greater the odds of a loss. But right now, I don’t see anyone I would clearly favor over him.Man at this stage & I never thought Id say this but I think it might be a good bet Wilder retires undefeated.

I’m not a fan of punch stats. They really mean nothing in terms of scoring a fight. For what it’s worth, I thought the only two rounds Fury lost were the ones he got knocked down in. Maybe he lost one other.
You know what...I don’t disagree here either. The way the fight went, one could make the argument. I just didn’t see it that way. (See above.)Comment
