Deontay Wilder is a hype job

[Boxing Goat]

Absolutely. By skill I'm simply referring to speed and raw talent. In no way does he have the same utilization of those elements at this point.

I think you are confused to what boxing skill is at this stage

[mathed]

I really want to take him seriously, but his footwork is awful, he doesn't use his jab effectively, has a poor guard and windmills/telegraphs his punches.

He needs a new trainer. It's all well and good feeding him these no-hopers, but unless he is progressing, technically, he'll fall hard when he finally 'steps up'.

You still owe me for our Povetkin-Wlad bet.......see sig

Glazkov 15-0 (11 KOS)

Malik Scott 35 - 0 (12KOS) draw
Tomasz Adamek 49 -2 (29KOS) 11/16

Wilder 30 - 0 (30KOS)

?????

Glazkov with less fights been in the ring with better talent then Wilder

[VatoMulatto]

I know it's premature, but Joshua looks muuuch better than wilder even now.

Joshua would beat Wilder if they would fight next.

Naw man, Wilder is the next Ali.

[Rip Chudd]

I would agree that he's a hype job but I have yet to see anyone actually hype him up. Boxing writers as well as those I've seen on this site have all questioned his skills and resume

Deontay wilder is a ****ing bum. The only thing that would make the hwt divison worse is if he somehow were to knock wlad out and become champ.

Wilder getting KOed

[Light_Speed]

He's a legit puncher but he's technically limited, 90% of his offense is jab-right hand or left hook-right hand, he falls in with his right hand and his upper body is stationary. I see him getting beat by Stiverne and Haye, forget about the Klitschkos.
