Wilders Skill to Power ratio is waaay off.

[denilson200]

What I mean by this is, yea he has power and that is not up for dispute.

But look how long he went with Molina and Duhaupes(?). It seems that if someone actually knows how to defend a little, he wont get the 1st-4th round KOs.

I mean ok yes, he is still getting the job done but look at his 3 hardest fights (his last 3), Stiverne, Molina and duhaupes....

Do any of them last 3 rounds with Lewis? Bruno? Tyson? Holyfield? McColl? Bowe? Wlad? Joshua?

Stiverne maybe but he does get KOd by pretty much everyone on that list.

In conclusion: He is wild by name and nature, he accuracy is horrible (see his end to Audley fight where he missed like 10 hooks in about 3 seconds) hehas power but does not deliver it well and would be more effective being relaxed and waiting for his shots.

Hindsight is a great thing. It's easy to talk about past heavyweights as if they were great but I'm 34 so I remember what people used to say about the fighters you mention when they were fighting.

Bruno ? When he was fighting he was seen as a stiff. A guy who look liked he should be in Mr Olympia but had a weak chin. His punching power at the very top level was suspect. Who was the best guy he knocked out ? Bugner ? Carl Williams ? Gerrie Cotzee ? C'mon

McCall ? He was never seen as a power puncher. So why you think he would got Stiverne, Molina or Duhappas out of there is beyond me. But he did probably have one of the greatest chins in heavyweight history.

Tyson ? OK. Now you're talking. I agree. A prime Tyson would have more than likely made mincemeat out Stiverne, Molina, Duhappas. Though remember even Tyson was taken the distance more than once and in his prime by Tony Tucker and Bonecrusher Smith ? Were Tony Tucker or Bonecrusher Smith that much better that than Stiverne, Molina or Duhaupes ?

Lewis ? For some reason. I don't what it is. But Lennox Lewis never really won people over. I don't know what that is. He fought Tyson when it did not matter and both where past there prime. And he never fought Bowe. He could not get Holyfield out of there in 24 rounds even though Holyfield was natural cruiserweight.

Would he have got Stiverne, Molina and Duhaupes out of there ? Well he was knocked out cold by Hashim Rahman and he could not him out there and he was controversial knocked out by McCall (I thought he should have been allowed to continue) he did go the distance with Ray Mercer, David Tua and the little known Zeljko Mavrovic.

Joshua ? Too early to say

Bowe ? Not so sure

Wlad ? Maybe

All in all. It's easy to look back and say 'they were good so good back then"
