This fight was entertaining as fuck. Watching Deontay Wilder live keeps you on the edge of your seat because you know he can, and nearly did, end the fight at any moment. The perseverance and threat of Wilder kept it constantly engaging.
But the talk about this being one of the best fights ever is insane. It was a very one-sided mauling. Everyone is acting like they have never seen a dominant fighter suffer knockdowns in fights they were otherwise easily winning. It happened to Fury vs Steve Cunningham. It happens all the time.
This was a mugging. This was not Ali vs Frazier. Or Tua vs Ibeabuchi. Or even Klitschko vs Joshua. It was too one-sided to be ranked anywhere near the best fights ever.
