I got a question. Does anyone else who watches Beterbiev's punches see similarities in their techniques? Like how they are able to gain massive amount of power from their compact punches? The elbow placement, the angles they hit from, the classic posture/stance etc. The punch turnover. 1 example is from this sparring session joe louis had. notice how he counters over the jab


The first and second knockdown of primo carnera


Now notice the counter beterbiev pulls off here against bill bailey


short, compact.
(although joe louis slipped the jab too)

I ain't saying they are exactly the same, they have their own distinct style. And Joe Louis' power was off the charts (knocked down charley retziaff moving backwards, knocked out carnera, got loads of power even with a narrow stance at times etc) Just noticing some of the similarities between the more recent fighters and ones of the past. Like how durant does the stanley ketchel shift (he had some of the fastest footwork). @Yuzo can you explain? I'm not sure if I am articulating myself well they just seemed to generate a ton of power from short distance. Almost like a one inch punch?

he should fight jarrell miller or sterverne....good fill in opponent and they been calling out wilder.:russ::manny:

WBC TOP 15 ranked contenders.

1. Alexander Povetkin
2. Bermane Stiverne
3. Luis Ortiz
4. Kubrat Pulev
5. Johann Duhaupas
6. Andy Ruiz
7. Artur Szpilka
8. Carlos Takam
9. Dillian Whyte
10. Gerald Washington
11. Mariusz Wach
12. Andrzej Wawrzyk
13. Jarrell Miller
14. David Price
15. Andriy Rudenko

With just one month left until the contest, 'The Bronze Bomber' faces a tough quest to draft in a decent opponent to fill the void left by Wawrzyk's departure.

Under the rules, a top 15 opponent is required by the WBC, leaving the likes of Gerald Washington, Jarrell Miller, Dillian Whyte, Andriy Rudenko and David Price in the frame.

Whether the majority of contenders would take the fight with such little time is up for debate and Wilder may be afforded a little wiggle room on the choices afforded to him.


Shocker: Wawrzyk tests positive for steroids, Wilder needs new foe

He should take the least talented, Top 15 ranked opponent, being that this is his 1st fight after his injury and should be a tune-up
