When does Deontay Wilder start getting more hype?

[Sweet Jesus]

2008 Olympic bronze medalist at heavyweight for USA
8-0 with 8 KOs
7 first round KOs

...yeah, they are all against bums, but it's not like Tyson had great early opposition. Plus, a guy like Solis has gotten a lot of hype on here even though he hasn't even fought anyone of note as a pro.

I know Wilder is still raw, but does anyone see him as a champ in the future?

When does he start getting more air time? He has only been on tv a couple times, which is strange for an olympian heavyweight!

i hope he lands on a fnf card soon

He was on a couple FNF cards in '09. Hopefully he starts kicking up the level of competition in 2010.

when he fights someone who actually looks like a fighter?

[Joe2608]

He needs to step up the competition in 2010.

LOL, there are people on here hyping guys that have less than a handful of career pro fights, like a bunch of the Cuban amateurs. Well Wilder has been boxing for less than 5 years, started in his 20s, and he became an accomplished amateur, won the bronze at the Olympics, and is looking poised to accomplish some things at HW. I am just surprised that NO ONE talks about him.

I mean you do realize that Brits hype fighters like Tyson Fury and Martin Rogan, right?

Tyson Fury and Martin Rogan have both fought and beaten much better caliber of opponents than Wilder has.

And ive never seen anyone hype them up either.
