Is Deontay Wilder More Overrated than Canelo Alvarez?

[SN!PER]

He's always just one punch away from victory.

When you have that weapon in your arsenal at all times, it takes away a lot of pressure and stress. He has 12 whole rounds to land one clean shot. In this generation of heavies, there are no Oliver McCalls. When his opponents get in the ring with him, whether they admit it or not, they know they're vulnerable, so it makes them hesitate (Malik Scott) or makes them too desperate (Firtha). It's the same situation that happened when Mike Tyson was coming up the ranks in the 80s. Fear caused fighters to lose before they even stepped foot in the ring.

He isn't even rated highly by any serious boxing fan so no. Canelo has fought Mayweather(L), Trout, Angulo, Rhodes, etc, much better competition and won. They are not even comparable. Wilder isn't rated yet by media and fans, sure he's lower 10 at HW but a weight class like that, a little buzz will get you in the top 10. But he's really not top 10, maybe with the eye test, what he's likely capable of doing, but not resume wise.

Wilder is this year's great black hope in the HW division, only americans care about him, he sucks and reminds me of Bob Sapp in that the only nice thing anyone has to say about him is "wow he is large".
