Fighting cab or bus drivers, shot fighters and divers ( Scott) since the beginning of his career, Deontay WIlder has proved nothing but having a great straight right hand and some decent speed.
Here are two lists of HW who I probably think Wilder wouldn't be able to K.O :
High probability :
-Wladimir Klitschko
-Alexander Povetkin
-David Haye
- Kubra Pulev
- Odlanier Solis
- Mike Perez
- Bryant Jennings
Decent probability :
- Carlos Takam
- Tyson Fury ( Fury is by far the more skilled fighter but he has an average defence)
- Tony Thompson
What's your list?
Wilder has to get himself a nice muscled pair of legs, first -- in order to be taken into account.
... Those sticky legs he has right now aren't fit for the top of this division...
I think he'd knock David Haye out cold if Haye didn't get to him first.
Add Mariusz Wach to the list.
The only boxer that was able to land a hammer straight right hand on Haye was Wladimir Klitschko.And still, Haye weaved backwards. I highly doubt that Wilder has Wladimir's technique.
When it comes to Wach, well, let's not forget that Wach was on steroids when he fought Wladimir Klitschko. Wach got badly hurt in the 8th round of that fight. I think that a clean Wach wouldn't have taken the punishement he took against Wlad. Would that mean Wilder would be able to punish hime like Klitschko? I don't think so.... so yes I should probably add Wach.
