    How good is Deontay Wilder?

    28 wins 28 knockouts, hasn't gone past 4. How good is he as a boxer, has he got a good chin, where does his power rank and how good was his opposition? Is he 1 of the best at the moment and is he a threat to Wlad?

    Largely untested but has many glaring flaws, very suspect chin, his opposition has been nothing short of terrible and no he is not one of the best or a threat to Wlad.

      He gets knocked down by former world record holders for most Big Mac's eaten in one sitting.

        From what I've seen, not very good. As said, obvious flaws. That's not to say he can't improve but I think he needs to test himself against better opposition.

          the power is 100% legit.
          so is the talent. 6'7", 84 inches of reach, huge bones, and he's athletic.


          he can hardly box, though.

          i think he's going to lose in his next few fights. before the world title shot, if i had to guess.

            Not very good at this moment in time. Has many flaws and is largely untested. Has so far only faced C- level at best but has looked very good against them. His footwork is a little dodgy to me and he throws his right hand like a swing. He does have a decent left jab/straight by the looks of it.

            But hey, the man is willing to fight anyone so I give him respect for that.

              Probably the best American heavyweight right now

                He has the size and power to become a force. He is still very raw though. Right now I am doubting his mental capacity after choking his spouse/girlfriend on the weekend.

                  Probably better at chokeslamming hoes than boxing off the back foot.
