still many questions about wilder...

he has fought extremely easy competition to this point. he should have fought beck after 13 fights not 22. manswell has gotten fights thanks to don king but really he has proved nothing. he beat 20 tomato cans & king put him in with stiverne on HBO for 3 regional belts & he lost. he has since competed in prizefighter & fought boswell, chagaev, ustinov. manswell is big & slow so i think wilder will win an easy decision. i want to see if wilder can really punch. it's sad to say manswell is wilder's best opponent to date. i want to see if wilder can knock manswell out.
