Wilder KOd

[Kwon]

I felt Zhang should have waited for Wilder to turn around and have the chance to defend himself against the final blow, something about knocking a guy out who is just turning his face around that doesn't seem noble.

Zhang is 41 years old and fights like the chinese George Foreman at this point. He comes in heavy and he is slow. His timing however is pretty good. He caught Wilder with a grazing left hook Wilder didn't see which spun him around. Wilder was out on his feet and took the second hook dropping like a stone. No idea why Wilder came in so lean. He didn't use speed or angles.

China is taking over on all fronts.

You know your career is over when you are knocked out by an overweight 41 year old Chinese guy.

Back in the 70s all the greats weighed around 210-225

Damn that was a sneaky last jab! Wilder was a very entertaining boxer to watch. Always gave it everything.

The Golden Age of boxing.

Yep

Ali, foreman, Norton, Frazier (I think he was vastly overrated though all he basically had was his left hook), shavers (Ali said he was the hardest hitter even more than foreman)

One of my uncles loved Larry Holmes but I never liked him cause his physique sucked ass 😂 but his jab was something special fo sho and yeah he was an 80s guy and he was the king of the 80s until Tyson appeared

Holmes never respected Tyson. It’s pretty funny looking back on old interviews.

Also Joswift landed some haymakers in this thread.

Shavers is considered the best heavyweight to never hold the title.

The heavyweight division is not about high-level tactics except a few.  He has excellent timing and his right hook is sneaky and unseen. Plus he is late into the pros, a good amateur, and low wear and tear like the Eastern Euros and Cubans who turn pro late. His Achilles heel is stamina.  Get him on the other side of the 6th round.  That's why AJ will knock him out if the Saudis make the after he takes care of DDD in the UK.

Parker is fidgety and mobile like a cruiserweight so Zhang could never set him up.

And he only weighed bout 210  at 6 foot

Dokes had phenomenal hand speed forget that he was a heavyweight

His hand speed is phenomenal even for a bantamweight, incredibly impressive

[Bevo]

Wilder still has bigger legs than Bhanky

But Bhanky weighs 220+ pounds, by default he out weighs Wilder and should be able to rag doll him with ease
