Ribery is a shakushaku player, very useless and never did anything great for Bayern, according to your boss, Raumdeuter. So, how is he a legend ?
Ribery. 3 Champions League Finals. 1 World Cup Final. One CL win. Balon D'Or winner

How dare you compare him to that Shakushaku merchant Hazard. Are you drunk?

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

2 down against the Bucks spells doom for the Raptors. They will have to come out with a lot of intensity and use the noise from their home arena to play with purpose. A lot is on coach Nurse now because they are not taking high percentage shots and more importantly, the P&R combinations with Kawhi have not been successful. Nurse has to find a way to control the tempo and pace of this game else, it will be another blow out win.
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 think the demoralizing thing for the Raptors is that watching this game you feel like the Bucks could reach an even higher gear. Thus far they are almost +180. In 11 games

Wilders fights dont have any trend or trajectory. Thats what makes him deontay, he has more KOs in the first 6 than all the others combined so i dont know what you are talking about. Up until his fight with stiverne no one had seen round six with him. Recent opposition have been tougher than previous opposition so they should be more illusive but breazeale is probably the worst of them. Styles make fights and breazeale is perfect for him. If he barely survived ortiz then its fair to say AJ barely survived klitschko seeing as he not only dazed him he put him on his arse.
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

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

KarnThornheart:
Not about Furys blatant show of cowardice? There was a fight, you claimed you were robbed. They said lets run it again and you run away? when you are sure you won the first one shouldnt the second go round be easier? Fury performed better than expected, then he had that comeback in the 12th, skewed everyones opinion. Even his compatriot sitting ringside had it as a draw.
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

KarnThornheart:
LOL! MMA math doesnt hold but you're bringing it into boxing? Wilders power is not comparable to any current boxer, we havent seen power like wilders in a very long time. I dont like using mma math to judge fights or anything really but you have to understand AJ is more of a swarmer while wilder is a classic slugger. Sometimes it takes longer for sluggers to deliver cause they take their time while swarmers like to pile the pressure early.
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

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

KarnThornheart:
A cumulative puncher doesnt hit you with a flurry all at once, he hits you with shots that over time begin to take effect. Like some of the shots breazeale took from AJ in their fight and kept coming forward, if that was wilder? Sweet caroline. People like wilder dont need that much build up time like i said his power is extraordinary.

If fury had AJs power, if wilder had furys skills, pointless.
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

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

Yes, they have got depth, probably why everyone thinks they will win it all.
The Bucks have a lot of guys that do things that don't show up on the box score. Especially Ilyasova and Connaughton. These guys weren't even bench worthy guys for a playoff team this time last year. Its a miracle what these guys are doing thus far

I didn't expect Wilder to defeat Fury. In fact, I was not surprised at the draw

Wilder is just raw brawn with little technicality...had fury being more active, he would've won
Ring rust played a role in my sentiments plus Fury's lack of KO power and Wilder's abundance of it meant to me Wilder was always going to be in the fight as Fury would have been unable to put him away via Knockout

Only thing thats certain about this fight is that it'll end up in a knockout, i cant guarantee when!

This windmill myth again? wilder only goes wild (for lack of a better word) when he thinks is opponent is stunned. He may not be the most accurate puncher or have the best leg or head movement but he has shown he can be a bit more cerebral like in the first stiverne fight. And when he strikes hes very fast and has shown some counter punching ability in the past. Power can only take you so far, power wont let you get past ortiz or put down fury twice. Again if fury is so sure he won that fight, why did he run away from a rematch?
I expect a Wilder Knockout but probably not as early as you think.

I'm telling you Wilder's fights usually end up going longer than they should because of accuracy issues. The only guy he put away quickly in recent times was the morbidly obese Stiverne for all his power

He barely survived Ortiz and even vs Fury, Fury came back in that 12th round and almost knocked out Wilder.

It's not about whether Fury is sure of the rematch or not. Wilder was the favorite for the first fight and for Wilder to get a draw that even notoriously biased American pundits and boxers disagreed with for a fight that held in his own country then that says it all. Wilder was my pick for the fight but he fall my hand

KarnThornheart:
If Flex Mentallo wasnt at least skeptical he wouldve called wilders bluff, come to the US and beat him still long ago. He wanted the fight but he wanted it in the UK, now hes a bit more assured. Wilder is getting older so i just hope we see this fight soon. And AJs power is different from wilders, its more of a cumulative effect than wilders one punch KO mjolnir. Wilder just needs to land once, can you guarantee AJ will avoid it for long enough when even fury couldnt?
AJ is the Champ. It's on Wilder to dance to his tune and not the other way around.

For me I think both fighters are running out of time to set up this fight. I hope it doesn't wind up like Mayweather-Pacman situation

I don't know that blow for blow Wilder hits harder than AJ. At least we can judge from the guy they both fought (Eric Molina) and who was able to KO the other guy quicker. One needed just 3 rounds, the other was wobbled by Molina and needed 9.

You should also realize that it is much harder to recover from a barrage of blows than just one punch. A smart boxer can hit the canvas after one punch and avoid further unnecessary punishment. You're less likely to recover after a barrage. Do you think Wilder can survive AJ'S hits. If Fury had AJ's KO power you think Wilder would have survived that fight?

Costs a shitload of money, makes them even more shitloads of money. Werent they contemplating spinoffs?
Still you want to maximize profits. If I only need to spend $100m to make $1bn. I wouldn't want to part with even an extra $1m if I don't absolutely have to. Also part of GOT's appeal is the limited number of episodes, plus forget money other factors like logistics and the sheer time and man resources it required to put it all together was a lot

LOL! I dont know what people are complaining about either i told you i stopped watching that crap a while back I just know people are complaining. I'm just pointing out that i predicted this season was going to expose this show for what it is. Besides, no one forced them to fit it into 6 episodes they chose to do it this way cause they probably ran out of ideas. I'm sure HBO would have been more than happy to oblige more episodes.
It's just mostly people getting in their feelings about Dany's heel turn by frying the entire King's Landing. And then Episode 4 getting leaked way before it aired

Lol do you know how much each episode costs? It's the most expensive series ever made. I doubt HBO didn't consider these things before going on a two year break between Season 7 and 8. The show costs a shitload of money

Ohh yeah hes boring AF! Just seemed very specific and with Joshuas record i cant help but make that prediction. Breazeales head movement is sh-t, might get flattened very early. Why I give wilder a better chance against AJ than Fury, AJs movements are too lateral and very few heavyweights move like the gypsy king. Make no mistake, he would have gotten smashed as well if he didnt run away from the rematch like a b-tch. I also like that wilder has been putting on some weight recently, looks noticeably bulkier (hope he doesnt pop like his brother did) and weighed in heavier for this bout.

Hes obviously less scared now cause fury did well against him.
Breazeale is pretty tough. He can also hit and won't be an easy meal for Deontay. I hope he doesn't get into the ring feeling overconfident. I would be suprised if the fight doesn't get to Round 6 at the very least

Wilder is not as technically sound as AJ. All that windmill nonsense will not work here. Lool also Prime Fury would definitely have given Wilder the business based on what we saw last November so let's not lose sight of the fact that Wilder had no business not winning that fight against a Fury not really at the peak of his powers

For me Wilder's intangibles are what might help him survive a battle with AJ but remember that while AJ might not move like Gypsy King, AJ is far more explosive. Don't expect Wilder to survive AJ's blows like he survived Fury who hits like a fairy even when he was in pristine form

AJ had no reason to be scared of Wilder. This fight only showed what we already knew
KarnThornheart:
Felt bad for him at first, then i watched the post fight presser and he was still cocky as ever. Lima kicked his chicken legs in that stupid wide stance of his and he almost did a 360 and man said he slipped LOOL cheesy
I'm just happy the hype surrounding him can now die a natural death and we can move on

Thinking lebron is the GOAT doesnt make you a bronsexual, just a sane human being. Besides, who said there can only be one GOAT? And in the context they used it he thought he was the GOAT not anyone else. Dirk and the mavericks were the centerpiece of the previous episode. If he gets more screen time its cause he sells more than anyone else. Dont pretend as if game of zones isnt better than that trash that has turned you lot into neeks. I see you lot are already complaining, I warned you about that show did i not? Just wait for the finale.
Lmaooo I love Game of Zones. I don't know what you're talking about. Was just pointing out the Bronsexual behavior I observed. I had no issues when they trolled Kobe mercilessly either. It's what the show is about

As for GOT I don't know what people are complaining about. They have just six episodes to fit in so much. And if it's about Daenerys then what did ninjas expect? She lost her dragons, her two best friends so of course she was going to lose her shyte.

I will agree that the editors probably need to be fired for their hilarious gaffes like the coffee cup and Jaime's hands suddenly regrowing

Why does it perplex you? The gun industry has a very strong lobby. It's all about the money, it's not about ethics. And it has never been about lives. The moment a child is born, Republicans could not care less. No maternity leave. Diminished health care. Underfunded schools. And as you have already mentioned, gun laws that make school shootings rampant.

Pro life in a country that still has the death penalty. The utter hypocrisy!
Lool hence why I'm so perplexed. I've listened to the arguments of these so-called pro-lifers and they keep regurgitating the same old megedefegede. Thumping the Bible they obviously do not read.

The amusing part for me is that the poorest states are the ones championing this law and you begin to wonder if these people are actually thinking at all. Their sole aim is to police women's bodies (especially the poor and disadvantaged ones)
