What's The History Section's Thoughts On Deontay Wilder?

[beez721]

He does seem to have that lanky build that generates tons of power a la Tommy Hearns. His hand speed seems unusually fast for a really big Heavy. His footwork doesn't look mechanical like all big Heavies do. The quick fights and lack of rounds is troublesome. They really need to put him in with a tough survivor who'll make him work.

yea,,,his opposition is so weak its hard to tell. he does have obvious big power and pretty good hand speed. stamina,,chin is still up in the air. he does seem to get hit pretty easily. time will tell

I agreed with Showtime's Steve Farhood when he said that if he isn't going to fight a contender, Wilder should at least fight a solid journeyman like Dominick Guinn. Beating Guinn wouldn't be any big deal, but blowing him out early would make a statement. Plus it gives Wilder a chance to get some rounds in with a guy who shouldn't threaten him.

I also wouldnt mind seeing him against mariusz wach. hes a guy with a granite chin but lacks power. at least he could get some solid rounds in. that wach has a chin the size of a volkswagon,,lol. wlad hit him with some bombs and he took them well. would be a huge feather in the cap of wilder if he starched him

So any idea when this guy is going to fight some good competition? And have any of his fights been televised?

An impressive KO over a guy who went 12 against Wladimir would make a statement, even if Wach did test positive for PED's after the fight. But if the fight doesn't go very long then there will still be some questions that need to be answered.
