I keep hearing how this beanpole is going to tear up the H/W division but I am far from convinced and I really do see nothing.
I'm not even sure of his power - This is the only thing people can be rating him off, surely.
I mean 21-0 21 K.O's is super until you look at the level of opposition. He is yet to face a damn journeyman that isn't prone to being stopped. You put just about any half decent, hard hitting HW with guys of that calibre & they'd do exactly the same.
He is THE official second coming of Tye Fields. I fail to see absolutely anything apart from some guy who was too skinny to make it as an NBA player with a B- right cross.
Look how top half heavy he is. He's a joke with a chin made of Weetabix, far better prospects out there. He wouldn't hear the bell for round 2 against David Price.
Watching him box & having him talked about in a positive manner is the equivalent of what they call a circus fight in Japan.
Give it two years & maybe, just maybe ready for to step up in competition against a guy like Owen Beck. Mind you that is still way too much of a risk.
What do you say about Mitchell then? I think he's a great prospect.
Mitchell is a solid prospect, but really they should go as slow as possible with him also because he also has a lot to learn and most guys don't have that drive to get better once the make it.
Definetly interested in seeing how it goes with him though, the division outside the very top is pretty sorry so even if he never reaches is absolute potential he will likely do alright, not like he could really be much worse.
ANYBODY who saw Deontay Wilder in the olympics then in his early pro fights would have to know he was atleat 5 years away from anything meaningful atleast anybody with a boxing eye.
He is currently a bit more than 3 years in and he has shown improvement, so get back to me in a couple years and I will tell you something about him until then it doesn't matter and making assumuptions about him is pointless.
To be anything they needed to take the slow road with him, so where he is is just fine and who hypes him please~
Oh and the last dude he fought went to sleep, not a fat guy falling over genuine to sleep so dude can punch.

Wilder has great potential, he just hasn't stepped for some damn reason. I mean, he's with Golden Boy. I think Wilder will end up being better than Seth Mitchell, I just think Deontay's ceiling is higher than Seth's is. Seth looks like a football player trying to be a boxer. I see them throwing Mitchell in with Wlad at some point next year, 3-4 fights from now, and he'll get KO'd or lose a wide UD.
The HW's I like need to step up. Deontay Wilder, Malik Scott, Mike Perez, and I like David Price as well. I think Price can be very legit. After these next Olympics, when Anthony Joshua turns pro, watch out for him. Every British trainer is saying he's the truth, could go as far as Lennox Lewis did for them. I know that's a stretch for an amateur, but he looks legit from what can be seen of him on YouTube. He has loads of potential.
What though can you learn from continually fighting these bums that offer very little resistance?
Audrey ''A-Farce'' Harrison won a gold medal at the olympics, this is the pro game where olympic medals & amateur achievements mean an extra nothing.
I think he's learning nothing... just padding the record and gaining a lot of confidence.... also practice in live fights.... still against cans.

He potential... but hasn't been tested yet... and it's been 21 fights and he still hasn't upped his competition. I mean he did a little, but the dude was 41 years old and had a long lay off
I see what they mean about HW boxing is dead now.
From Tyson, Bowe, Lennox, etc coming up as prospects to the likes of Deontay Wilder.
America are so desperate for a good big black H/W it's a fcukin joke.
