Is Deontay Wilder More Overrated than Canelo Alvarez?

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Who's even rating him? LOL This thread is ******. Just your way of dissing Canelo. GTFO of here. Manny is overrated. Dude can't even take a punch any more.

One guy is fighting bums and drawing 30 million + viewers

The other guy is fighting bums and probably doesn't even have 5,000 fans

I don't think it's hard to tell which one is more overrated.

This...spot on comment.

If anything Wilder is trying to be like Julio Cesar Chavez Jr by fighting a bunch of lesser foes in order to make up for his lack of an amateur background.

True enough. Too bad that Wilder is no JCC Jr.

And that alone says a lot.

it's kinda funny when you know which posters are going to vote for what option even before they give their opinion. Everyone in my ignore list is voting No.




everyone agrees that Canelo can fight and compete with the best of his division. The Trouts, Mayweather's, Lara's etc
Despite having a belt. Most people don't think he will conquer his weight class.

Wilder is going life & death and getting dropped by 400lbs Mcdonald's Masters. While people say he's the savior of boxing and the HW Division. He's supposed to knock out the Klitschkos

Grade A post.

And for the record, I'm a guy who always wanted to see Wilder do well, but I can also see the writing on the wall.

First time I ever watched him and I gotta admit I don't see the what all the fuss is about.

There was nothing in his performance to show that he's a threat to anyone in the HW division.

As soon as he fights someone with any sort of boxing fundamentals he is going to get KO'd, and his people know it. The shame in it is that you'd expect this sort of thing from the Stacy Goodson s of the boxing world, but GBP, really?

No one really rates Wilder, so I can't say he's overrated. He's just a prospect that we are waiting and seeing on.

And more overrated than Alvarez? Hell no.

It's a debatable point, but the notion that Wilder may be on a comparable level merely speaks to his relative skill/ability level vs his 'potential' as it is being touted. Alvarez is at a much higher level, thus the comparison says a lot about how much respect the critics have for Wilder's actually ability. And yet, I am thinking that it is an apt enough comparison, which--again--says quite a lot in and of itself.

Wilder at least is fighting HWs and he is not champ..canelo in the oher hand is beating small or small and old ppl being a champion...there is nobody more overrated than canelo in the sport right now..

Wilder's second-to-last fight was against a 39 year old career light heavyweight who hadn't fought in 2 years and had fought only once in 5 years.

[Drunken Cat]

I have never heard anyone hype Wilder up. If he beats a few top 25 guys by kayo he will surely be overrated, but right now.......not sure anyone know even who he is.

Well, he did just fight on the main televised portion of a Showtime undercard...

But I'm sure he was merely the best fighter they could find to fit the bill, right. Not like there are much better fighters who deserved the exposure and the pay. That's basically what hype is all about right there.

By default it's Canelo. No one is really rating Wilder.

Deontay Wilder is rated? lol That's news to me.
