Deontay Wilder vs. Sergey Lyakhovich

[Sugar Adam Ali]

He's definitely not very skilled, but his height and power could possibly take him farther than we think.

Maybe, he def has a punchers chance in every fight but stay away from guys like chisora or haye..... Haye would decapitate him

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Wladimir has half of the division running scared. Once the belts are handed to a new champion, a long line of dormant HWs will come out of the woodwork to fight each other for the title shots.

Wilder is being kept miles away from the top guys. If contenders like Malik Scott would give Wilder hell, we don't want to imagine what Wladimir would do to him.

Sadly, the HW division would be more interesting without Wlad.

I think he'd have a shot against Chisora, but Haye would probably be too much for him right now as long as his toes are alright. lol

This is the big opponent Wilder was jawing about? The White Wolf has been done for years. He got KO'd by Maurice Harris in his youth on HBO.. too easy for Wilder.. again.

It would be fury, but furys scared

Wild Deon in four!

i had a feeling a "top Russian HW" was going to be Liakovich or Dimitrenko. Liakovich isn't even Russian lol and he's absolutely terrible and shot to pieces. I was hoping for at least a step up from Audley but sadly this is a step down IMO.

This. Totally agree.

[The Hammer]

Well, we all know Audley was a step up for Wilder. So would you say Lyakhovich is on the same level as Audley or lower?

Wilder is SLOWLY (very) stepping up while adding some names to his resume.

Audley isn't a bad gatekeeper. He loses (sometimes quickly) to good fighters, but he usually beats journeymen. He was coming off the Prizefighter success when he fought Wilder.

But Lyakhovich has taken too many sustained beatings, between long periods of inactivity. Sergey is a worse opponent for Wilder right now, coming of the two bad TKO losses.

Wilder should be taking on better challenges. His management is choosing opponents for the sole purpose of keeping his KO streak going.

What a lame opponent. How can Wilder begin to gain any worthwhile experience when he's fighting bad opposition?
