WBC are better promoters of their brand which not coincidentally happens to be a quite handsome traditional pairing of emerald green and gold. WBA is Shyte Brown and Mendoza has the personality and presence of an overcooked eggplant. Hmmmm, Shyte Brown vs Emerald Green and Gold now enhanced with Indigenous artwork...I'll let you do the math in that great beyond of your life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 The only similarity between Deontay and Larry is the skinny legs 🙂 Ability wise they are miles apart. Larry had a superb jab while Wilder hasn't learnt that punch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauricio Sulaiman says "I have not seen a heavyweight throw the jab with such sharpness and precision since Larry Holmes...this past Saturday night I saw three elements from legendary Hall of Famers Ali, Holmes, and Tyson – all in one – and the heavyweight division is back. On Saturday night I saw three elements from legendary Hall of Famers Ali, Holmes, and Tyson – all in one – and the heavyweight division is back." WBC Prez on Wilder's Win: I Saw Ali, Tyson, Holmes - All in One! - Boxing News He even says Stiverne was timing Wilder's jab and moving his head - I must have missed that between him not throwing any punches of his own and falling over. - - I nominate Gavvy for Post of the Century. There are no other contenders... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
