Deontay Wilder's Olympic Bronze Medal = SKILLS

Haters. Deontay not only has the bronze in his resume ( with virtually no experience) but more wins vs. top 20 heavyweights than any other current champion and incase you forgot he owns the most coveted title ( the WBC ) most defenses out of all HW champions best resume out all current HW champions...and that power tho...most exciting most entertaining!!! BOMBSQUAD!!!!!

Not that i'm knocking anyone who wins an olympic medal, it's a great achievement but Audley Harrison has an Olympic gold and David Price has an olympic bronze. Need i say more?

Heavyweight is kind of a wildcard in this regard... A guy with that physical stature can go pretty far without very developed skills As someone else mentioned david price also won a bronze olympic medal (and is also nearly 7 ft tall...) Yea thats unique for HWs,IMO he have some skills but his very Sloppy and have no game plan a all.

A bronze medal is one thing, being one of those rare giants who actually has skills like Lennox or a Klitschko or even getting to Fury's level (despite pissing it away) is another thing

When he beats someone who can actually box... then let's talk.

skills and deontay wilder? are you kidding me? if you want to see skills, you should look at the man in my profile picture.

It would say more about talent than skills because he didn't have the time to really develop boxing skills. Dude is a freak athlete though, and that is where his talent lies he can get away with his awkward fighting style because he is highly athletic for his size. That allows him to apply his powerful punches in ways that is in a way that is not common making him more difficult to fight that it appears. The Olympics was a start of showing that raw talent that could be turned into something given time. For a guy that apparently can't box a lick according to most (especially early on) he has done pretty well for himself~ If he had boxed since he was a kid, he'd be great.

in amateur boxign you get 10 points if you fall over while throwing a punch

I dont see this skills to be honest,his very sloppy fighter.

LOL joke thread

Didn't he make the team AND win the medal with barely any boxing experience too? I'm not sure where he stands among today's heavyweights but you gotta respect his accomplishment of winning that medal whether you like him or not.

Roughly the same level of skills as David Price
