Deontay Wilder v. Wladimir Klitschko

[Citizen Koba]

I've considered it and quietly come to this conclusion:

I don't have strong feelings about most matchups, but, when I do feel strongly I will vote in the official pickem threads.

I'll go for a nice w/l record over points.

Not a terrible way of doing it, man, it'll be good to have you joining in either way.

Just as a point of reference only 3 players (of those who played enough games to matter) who played last year hit 80% correct on the winner and every top ten player hit above 75%.

The most accurate player on method and detail (KoolKC) hit just shy of 28% perfect despite finishing a little further down the table on account of missing a few games and bad luck on multipliers.

They wouldn't be bad targets to shoot for if you want to see how you compare.

He don't have to fight for Deyonce TBA belt.

lol, and thats the edited version? Your vision of the sport seems warped.

Lol at thinking all Wlad does is lean and hold..... and an even bigger LOL at thinking Ortiz is a better boxer than Wlad. What is that based on? Him being Cuban?

Bro did you seriously say that Wilder is arguably a better boxer than Wlad??

You're a true Wilder fan right, that can be the only explanation for this bizarre post.

I think you boys have some revisionist history going on.

Wlad pre-holding=Losses to Purrity, Brewster, Sanders. Post holding=Undefeated until Fury.
3/5 of his losses came against guys 6'6+.

Wlad's defense & offense is almost entirely set up by his leaning/holding techniques to maintain distance, entirely ineffective against AJ/Fury. The top guys in the sport have all mastered control of distance, Wlad did it through holding.

Where was his skill against Fury, BJ, AJ? Wilder-Fury was much more competitive, and Ortiz thoroughly ended BJ, Wlad lost multiple rounds.

If Wilder held like Wlad he'd be almost unhittable but he doesn't, without holding he is a MUCH better defensive fighter & fighter overall.
