[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 990094, member: 70552"] I think my point was it’s easy to criticize Wilder’s opponents. Everyone has a plan until they get smacked it the face, as Mike Tyson said. Wilder still had that big right hand and stopping him making the space to throw it was easier said than done. And he could still take a punch himself, being the first time he’d been knocked down since his amateur days. Marciano was still a great heavyweight. Sure that era was mob tainted. And he probably fought only 3 decent heavyweights in his time: Joe Louis, who was definitely past his prime, Jersey Joe Walcott, who was very old and Ezzard Charles. But you go through any of the great champions and the quality of their opponents and they can be disparage their records. Louis was famed for beating a “bum of the month” which inflated his record, but he’s regarded as the top 3 heavyweights of all time. [/QUOTE]
