I'll never forget the Cooper/Dewitt fight. I had high hopes for Willie. Wilder has got to be chinless or something. Maybe he's getting dropped by cruisers at the gym while wearing head gear. Audley is a safe bet as all they have to do is overwhelm him like Haye did and land a crippling shot. I started off being a fan of the guy but now he's beginning to enter my top 5 want to see ktfo list. Now perhaps I should not blame him personally but blame his steering committee however to be coddled this much in this heavyweight wasteland suggests something. Audley has to take this and I hope he lands one of those beautiful textbook straight lefts he was so capable of earlier in his career.
Oh man, I remember getting a copy of that one in a trade. Poor Dewitt was literally steamrolled by Bert! Wilder is sqandering away and enoughs enough. They are clearly afraid to take the training wheels off of the bicycle for him for whatever reason. Going on 5 yrs and 28 fights while the division is urgent for a viable young threat to crash the scene. Hes not learning anything with one-two round gimmes and literally not taking a serious heavyweight punch this far along. Thinking hard here and I am at a loss to think of one recent American heavyweight who amounted to a major player and went this long while having so very little to show for it in opposition faced, scheduled 10 rounders etc
