What do you think of Deontay Wilder?

[happyman]

lol isnt this the dude who got ktfo by a russian bum in the olympics?

[Earl-Hickey]

Maybe i'm wrong but I don't think he's up to much.

For one thing his frame isn't right for heavyweight boxing, I know this will sound weird, but he's too slight, even when carrying around a ridiculous amount of muscle, he's still skinny, i don't see him lasting in a tear up, and those legs are like chopsticks, and he doesn't look steady on them.

There's also proof of poor punch resistance

Poor defence

far too over agressive

The first real fight he has i expect he gets stopped.

Nobody was even talking about him before Seth got stopped, it was always "Seth is the far better of the two", since then I just sense my trans atlantic friends are getting a tad desperate.

Whats the rush dude?

He had a late start in boxing, and very little amateur career. They are moving him along slowly because he is young and still getting better.

He is being groomed to be the Heavyweight Champion of the world, we know someday he will step up and fight the top of the HW division, its just not gonna be for a little while long. Just relax and enjoy his career.

He's 27, not 21

At the rate he's going he'll be past prime before he gets near a title shot.

Chavez Jr had 40 some fights before he finally stepped up his level of opposition. If Wilder's people are smart they'll do the same and let him develop.

There is no rush.

There is no rush.

So Wilder will step up in his mid 30's?

[Bigg Rigg]

Think he won't do much to be honest. Could be wrong though.

[MJ223]

Hes raw.....

He hits hard.....

Not too much more to add at the moment

This Saturday Audley Harrison will provide Wilder's first real test.

Audley looked good in the recent Prizefighter.

[thuggery]

I'd love to see Fury vs Wilder.

IMHO, Fury sparks him.

[The Hammer]

I'm looking forward to Deontay's future fights.

I think he has a very good chance of becoming the heavyweight champion after Wladimir Klitschko retires.
