Yea Allah Haymon dropped the ball with Wilder. Joshua leap frogged breh something serious and he faced better comp. I know Joshua has that UK backing but i feel like if haymon and co wouldnt have been p*ssyfooting and made that fight with klitschko which now we know was very winnable, that could have took American boxing off to be real. It seem like all them overseas HWs making news while Wilder keep defending his belt against random eurocacs with weak chins and cab drivers and shyt. As for black america i dnt think we have a bonafide super star on the horizon. Only if AB would take boxing serious all the time he got that it factor personality wise that we havent seen since floyd.

Klitschko is not an easy W for anyone, except an in shape motivated Tyson Fury. AJ nor Wilder is bigger than Klitschko and that was the main reason he lost to fury. Dude has power, good jab, moderate D and errthang except a chin. Tough out for any fighter.

What was the brutal brutal fight in the 80s or early 90s where breh was a killer at 160 and moved up to 168 and got brain damage first fight there?

McClellah v Benn...
That fight was insane. Benn was Bernard Hopkin'd out of the ring in the first round when mcclellan knocked him outta the ring. Then things took a turn for the worst.

Yeah seriously. This guy is talented and hell and should be one of the horsemen of the LHW division. Watch this space....... guy will be snatching bodies in the LHW division. @mr. smoke weed already knows
As soon as #BeterBeast's team puts things in motion we will see him improve much more. I think he needs to tighten up his D, and be a bit more fluid in his movements, as he will rise to the top. I think he is the best puncher in the division, although it's accumulation not one shot. However, like kkkovalev one shot can severely hamper you. I hope he gets some rounds before he knocks this guy out on xmas eve, then fights a top 10 LHW in his IBF eliminator, and then faces one of the big three.

I agree with this for the most part. But you also can't discount the unforunate set of circumstances he had to incur this year...with Povetkin getting popped a few days before their fight. And the injury against Areola.

Would've had the best single win of the young Heavys (outside of Fury) had the fight went on and he got past Povetkin.

And the Brits were likely always going to be 1st in line for Wlad anyway...fights are more lucrative over there in Europe.

Yeah his D does look leaky at times. I feel like with his extensive amateur background he has more tricks in his bag than we think. I feel like he may later on move up to cruiserweight though.... fought at that weight in amateurs and I think he even dropped usyk (though usyk won)
