    What boxing style does Deontay Wilder really have ?

    He appears to be a sluuger but watching his most recent fight against helenius and early fights before he became a champion he appeared to be more like an out-boxer. What his boxing style is he a slugger, out-boxer or both ?

    Not sure if it's by design or not but Wilder is basically a counter-puncher with hellish power. His workrate is low but also incredibly sporadic with his attack.

          Calling Wilder an out-boxer should be execution reason.

          Also, classic 4 type fighting styles ain't in modern boxing anymore. Everything is blended. He is an unskilled slugger who has fist of steel.

            Wilder is not a slugger, you cannot be a slugger without a developed inside game.

            Wilder predominately fights from mid-long range. Wilder's style of fighting and power is least effective, the more his opponent closes the range.

            Wilder tries in all honesty to be a boxer puncher. But due to his technical skills not really being elite or even world level? Things become chaotic.

            Deontay Wilder does have a solid jab, but apart from that? Skill for skill his pure technical boxing ability is not elite.

            Overall Wilder is a boxer puncher, who does not have elite level skills. But he has elite level power, extreme gameness and resolve.

            I still rate Deontay Wilder extremely highly as a fighter.

                One two guy. His whole game is to stay back, jab and try to deliver that right hand.

                    He literally has titanium steel rods in his right hand.
