The Greatest American Heavyweight Since Ali

[El Kabong]

Riddick Bowe and George Foreman would destroy Wilder in 6 rounds and 4 rounds respectively.

Foreman yes, Bowe I'm not sure.

Riddick Bowe never fought power punchers AND Holyfield rocked him and knocked him down. I am not so sure that Bowe had the greatest power either.


I don't hate Bowe, I just think he had an awfully short prime (far shorter than Tyson's) and his resume is lacking big punchers which there was a plethora of in his era: Lewis, Rudduck, Morrison, Tua, Ibeabuchi, McCall, Bruno. Bowe never fought a big time power puncher, he avoided Lennox Lewis like the plague.


That said, who is sure that Wilder has such power? He didn't KO Stiverne and that's really the best guy he has fought.

Wilder has been underwhelming lately. When he bear stiverne, I thought he looked pretty good, but since then, I haven't been super impressed. Don't get me wrong, for this division, he is one of the best, but that isn't saying much.

Listen, if Tyson for example were fighting right now, he would be such a heavy favorite to beat everyone. Wilder is nowhere near that

Tyson lost against most of the top fighters he fought during his career.

There's a long list of guys Deontay needs to fight and beat before he cleans out the division and can be called a truly great HW.

Wlad, Fury, Luis Ortiz, Joshua, Parker, Ruiz, Browne, just off the top of my head.

Lets see him step up to a stiff challenge, instead of beating up on guys well past their prime.

I don't think he should ever have to fight Ortiz since he is a known steroid cheater.

Wilder would get destroyed by holyfield and Lewis. Douglas was a fluke.

Really? I did not know that.

Whyte has been caught too.

He tested positive after his KO of Lateef Kayode.
