So we got a topic about a failed golfer vs a failed football/basketball player started by a failed stand up comedian
Anyway, Neil vs BOSS beefing aside... I'd go with Wilder, on heart and desire alone. As limited and fragile as Wilder is, he does have tremendous heart and will-to-win. Sanders... did not at all. That was his main weakness, that he was a front runner lacking in heart. Wilder survives some very shaky moments early, and KOs Sanders late.
Sanders has a shot against most heavyweights but Wilder was more unpredictable than him and was better conditioned. Thus Wilder is the clear favorite
I think that's an exaggeration. Sanders was a southpaw with power and good handspeed, that's it. He had a shit chin, shit defense, shit stamina, and no heart. I wouldn't give him much of any chance against any great heavyweight.
I only meant that his best (=lone) weapon, the left cross, was no joke. It was quick, powerful, had plenty of reach and most of all was deceptively difficult to read. With such one-punch bomb, he does indeed have a chance against several fighters better than him. Of course, if the opponent has skills, the chance reduces quickly, and if the opponent in addition has a good chin, it is next to zero.
Corrie had a good chin. The cardio was the problem. Both Rahman and Wlad said nobody hit them harder than Corrie. Corrie decapitates the bum
Tough one….it depend who gets tired first. In the 3rd fight vs Fury by round 6/7 Wilder legs were gone…corrie like taking rounds off…but that left hand was sneaky and lethal. He ducked up Wlad with it…had Vitaly hurt and caught Rahman with a few left and uppercut before the shit stoppage… I’ll go with Sanders he’s smarter in the ring…could take a punch & it’s not like Wilder is going to throw jabs/straight right down the middle 40-50 punches a round like Vitaly did… course Wilder has that equalizer right hand…
Yeah, he did show heart and toughness against Vitali. Unfortunately, he didn’t appear to do much work preparing for the fight. He was overweight and huffing and puffing by the 2nd round. He’d throw a short barrage and then would spend the next round or two trying to recover and get his energy back. I see it the same way. Sanders might stop Wilder early, but I think it’s more likely Wilder gets him later on. Sort of like how Judah would have some fast starts and surprise guys with his speed and pop, but eventually loses.
