The Boxing thread

How does Wilder have such tiny legs? Seems Grealish got double helpings of calf muscles, whereas Wilder got none.

Most of Wilder's opponents have looked good for upto 10 rounds, then despite dominating on the cards Wilder hits them once and it's over.

I just don't know if he is the same boxer these days. Also, Parker is probably the best boxer he has faced other than Fury.

These fights should be in front of packed out, pissed up rowdy fans. It’s a depressing watch for elite sport

Maybe skinny legs but there’s no bloody way you’d pay me enough to take a punch

5-0 to Parker but Wilder is just dangerous. It only takes one moment. Just one, and it’s done. That’s how crazy his power is.

I definitely wouldn’t say that to his face!

Does it make you less stable when taking punches though? I’m not an expert, as you can probably tell.

Your punch is the last thing to go I think the Cuban Ortiz was a better boxer but Parker is probably right up there, remember watching Wilder get out outboxed for 8 rounds against Artur "Jonjo Shelvey" Spilka an average Polish heavyweight.

He's just got that power that can end it at any time, Parker needs to make sure to stay from Wilder's bombs. I'm not sure he's evasive enough but hope he is, that he can carry on grinding Wilder down.

To be fair, it’s more technique than the size. Can you rotate your hips? Can you move your feet? Can you fight off the back foot?

Why I like the sport. So much to learn but if you’re pro, it’s all drummed in until it becomes second nature

A little bit, a little bit and not sure.

I’ll just hope that me being left handed allows me one free shot and hope for a Hail Mary!
