What boxing style does Deontay Wilder really have ?

[CubanGuyNYC]

Within this era of Heavyweights, I rate him extremely highly.

Although Wilder's all round boxing skills are not elite. He does have some elite attributes which are.

Punching Power, Gameness, Aggression, and I would also rate his Jab as elite.

There are not many better Jab's in the Heavyweight division. For sometime, I rated his Jab at number 2 behind Fury.

When you combined his strengths and his best attributes, with his near psychopathic aggression.

Stylistically, he is a dangerous Heavyweight for most of these Heavyweights around today.

To beat Wilder, you have to fight him a certain way 'Which involves inside game, rough house tactics'.

Due to modern Heavyweights lacking inside game, and having no idea what rough house tactics are.

For me this is specifically why Wilder is a top Heavyweight. In his own way he exploits his opponents.

Most Heavyweights want to box Wilder from mid-long range, and they will most likely take rounds off him. But the longer they stay fighting from this range, the longer then stay in the danger zone 'And that is precisely what Wilder wants'.

To beat Wilder you have to close down the range, because the less distance his power has to travel? The least effective it becomes.

But to fight this way, is going against most fighters instincts. Because you are moving towards potential doom.

More good points. And yes, Wilder has a great jab. At the end of those long arms, and with that height, it’s quite an asset. That power is the flamethrower. People can mock Deontay’s perceived lack of skills, his “windmill” and all, but when he unloads that bazooka, few live to tell the tale.

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 ?

I wouldn't call him a slugger at all. Slugger is people who just come forward through wildly and a lot of punches like chisora maidana provodinkov. People make out like Wilder is wild he usually gets wild after he's hurt an opponents. Other than that you don't see him often start fight wildly trying to throw loads of punches whilst walking forward. He isn't the best boxer but he isn't as an awful boxer as most people make out either

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.

Basically this.

What am I hearing from Scott is, they are looking for an "unknown" opponent, not named Ruiz, possibly. So they are going to try to duck the fight the public wants to see for some BS on PPV like Spence vs The Flute Player?

Wilder Ruiz will happen. So will Spence vs the flute player. 2 great fights worthy of ppv

One hit and you fall style. I know, such a rare observation and so intelligent. What a moron who made this thread.

One of the best examples of a boxer who relies more on physical attributes than actual skill.

Wilder's first fight against Stiverne he actually boxed very well. I think he could have been a decent boxer but he fell in love with his power and the rest is history.

Boxer-Puncher imo and a shitty one at that.

The "I don't know what I am doing but if I Catch you before the 4th I'll win, otherwise I''l get tired and loose" Style.

He's a right hand on legs.

He has one plan, stand there and wait until he can fling his right hand as hard as he can. Against the bums he's fought it works.

Against the 1 top HW with a chin he's fought it didn't work because the guy got up. And Wilder was ****ing clueless when he did.

He is one of the worst boxers to hold the HW title in history. He can barely do the basics. His footwork is non-existent he has no combinations to speak of, he can't fight going backwards, he has no defence and he has zero inside game. He's just a garbage boxer with a right hand like a missile.
