Kawhi's numbers look efficient from afar but if you look at how hard he had to work for each bucket compared to Giannis, the difference is quite clear.

With Bledsoe, Brogdon and Giannis Milwaukee has 3 guys that pass and facilitate at a high level
I'm surprised you're speaking highly of Bledsoe

He has his moments but how often does he deliver? How many times has he been outplayed by George Hill

He may as well call it quits. He will be 32 by the time he can consider for reinstatement and not too many teams will be interested in taking risks.

I'd put Sidney Moncrief in the shooting guard spot as well. It's a tragedy he never made the Finals. His team showed the GOAT pepper in his early years in the league

You're actually right. I almost added him but forgot his name

That's because most of Wilder's opponents were the who is who of bums. Including the notorious British scam known as Fraudley Harrison.

Styles make fights but based on what I've seen so far there is nothing that suggests Breazeale wouldn't go at least 6. That's par for the course for any half decent fighter that had faced Wilder
A slugger with tremendous power against a brick with little head movement and you think theres a threshold? LOL! I'm not saying he has to knock him out within 6, i'm just saying if he did it wont be a surprise.

Of course, nothing wrong in barely surviving one of the longest reigning Champions in boxing history. After all rumor has it Wilder was dropped twice in sparring by Wlad
Why on earth would you bring sparring talk into this? That man was old has hell, already beat by fury without taking the knee and was coming off a very long layoff.

We can only judge based on the first fight we all saw. I was pulling for a Wilder win but prior to that last round Knockdown Wilder was heading towards an L and that's the bitter truth

I'm not disputing that Fury is obviously ducking a rematch
Then ask yourself why Fury is dodging the rematch. The way i see it he figured that wilders right hand was no joke and that he would probably land much earlier in the second fight since they know each other better. The man decided to cash out now than have his hype derailed.


It's not about MMA it's about you slightly overrating Wilder's power overall. You have and are merely relying on speculation! Unless you have some device that has measured their power then you can't say for sure. Perhaps we can deploy MMA style to settle this once and for all. At least among heavyweights we know Ngannou is the heaviest hitter. We should apply to boxing as well
Dude you compared wilders power to AJs, AJs power is nothing out of the extraordinary for a heavyweight. But wilder at his size, that KO power is monstrous. Like i said we havent anything like it in a long time, i dare say its in the shavers league.

And i see you are buying into dana whites hype train, so you really believe his punch is the equivalent of getting punched by a ford escort as well? LOOOL!

Their margins are so fine and their fighting style has to be considered as well as you alluded

My point is AJ's devastating combos are likelier to end a fighter than just one hit. That's why when they fought the same fighter AJ was able to end things quicker
Again with the MMA math again. Anthony smith went 5 rounds with jon jones when he gas gotten KOd by middleweights, does that make these middleweights better than jon jones?

Why was Molina not able to take the punches Breazeale took? Why did Wilder take so long to put out Molina and even got wobbled. Why did Molina get up from not one but 3 Wilder knockdowns? Yet didn't survive AJ
Wilder was probably nervous being in front of his home crowd and probably tried too hard to put him down. His early success is what made him reckless and when he got wobbled he handled it like a champ. You're still using that mma math again.

Chris Paul was an elite defender in his time. 7 time all-defensive 1st team and 2 time 2nd team, so I'd take Stockton off. I'd add Kobe to the shooting guard position and take Joe Dumars off.

Iidot still had 10 secs and he's posting him when he's not Durant. Pass to Green and restart the play.
