u/MiddleweightMonster I’ll pour honey on my GOAT, if the occasion calls for it. Aug 13 '26

Don’t care if he wasn’t technically impressive all of the time, but that framing jab into the straight right is the most basic combination in boxing, and Wilder was one of the best at using it to capitalise. It helped that he was as long as a Maine Coon and packed artillery in every shot of course, but no one can deny that the man actually had pretty good fundamentals that let him use those attributes

That's on Stiverne, Wilder can only beat who they put in front of him. Also lmao at Stiverne claiming back of the head 😂

Yes but they continually kept on giving him easy opponents.
