Lets have it real, Deontay Wilder is a glorified bum.

    A bum? Maybe maybe not. It just too early to tell. He's been fighting no one, and until he does, we simply don't know. It is irritating that he's got 30 fights and he's still fighting guys like Nick Firtha. By comparison, Mike Tyson was fighting name opponents by his 16th fight (Mike Jaco, Mike Jameson). By his 30th fight, he had already faced Trevor Berbick, Bonecrusher Smith, Pinklon Thomas and Tony Tucker. As Lomenchenko proved, there is a reason to build up a fighter's resume, but Wilder is taking it to the extreme.

        Fury is 2-3x better than anyone Wilder has ever faced and has never been knocked out or even lost. That's reaching based on a lot of unknowns.

        Wilder is untested and unproven.

        This is the worst resume for any heavyweight with more than 30 fights that I've ever seen. Pitiful.

            I like Wilder but he his hiding some major glass.

            Fury is funny as hell, but he's also hiding major glass.

            Bottom line is... They both suck. I would pick Wilder over Fury doe

              yea,,theyre both vulnerable for different reasons. wilder's bigger power may pull him through but I wouldnt be surprised if fury could take wilder out late if he gets past the 5th round. tough fight to call imo

                  I think Wilder is better than Fury, and would knock him out early if they ever fight.

                  How Wilder will do against good HWs like Pulev and Perez remains to be seen.

                    lol at tyson fury being a "rounded technician"

                    that said wilder isnt all that good. he was a tremendous prospect when he turned pro, there s no doubt in my mind that he is among the most talented HWs in boxing history.

                    but talent only gets you so far, it needs to be honed and i dont think it has. he is still a very, very, VERY raw fighter who just gets by on athletic ability. that wont hold up at the highest level though, the fighters on top of the division might not be quite as talented as he is, but they have way more skills and boxing intelligence.

                    i dont like the term bum to describe any fighter, especially a once in a lifetime athlete like wilder. but he isnt very good, i cant deny that.

                      I actually believe at the moment that both fighters are a bit overrated.

                      Wilder has yet to prove himself. And Fury looked really bad in that last fight. Both have potential. Can they beat Wladimir? Forget it. Can they make an entertaining fight against him? Probably
                      But I seriously believe that Hughie Fury is a much more rounded, much more disciplined boxer that will outshine both of them in some years. And well - Anthony Joshua seems even better.
