Grade Deontay Wilder's performance last nite

[SN!PER]

They should bring Samuel Peter back in the ring for Wilder.

Might as well fight James Toney. At least we can see if Toney gets ko'd. Yall gonna complain but at least he can have a name which people actually recognize. I don't wanna see him fight another Firth!

Is Jameel McCline too much? He can give rounds, he's 43, but he still has some left in the tank.
I'd lean on the yes side considering Wilder's opponents....seeing what you guys think

definitely not too much. it should be mcclines or better at this stage.

He looked a little uncomfortable fighting backwards...a little strange for a guy his size. His aggressive style puts him in positions often to give up his height. It will be interesting to see how that plays out against a more crafty guy who can make him pay for his aggression and not fighting tall.

toney would be a good opponent because he could go rounds. we really don't know what wilder has at this point in terms of his boxing. we know he has power and handspeed.

toney might win. he'd need to come in shape, which is obviously not happening.

a good indicator for Wilder is the fact he's sparred some of the best guys and they have all whooped him bad. There's videos of David Haye rocking him badly in sparring and there's photos of Wlad beating him to a pulp where his face is all bruised up in sparring, etc.

I'd like to see him fight Travis Walker. Walkers been in with damn near everybody and can punch pretty damn hard if nothing else. If he gets past Walker put him in with somebody like Wach or Ustinov both of WHOm I am not convinced Wilder would get past but if he did he would learn something in the process and maybe be able to relax in the ring a bit better.

Wilder is an interesting prospect but his cheerleaders are pretty much idiots. Americans always go gaga and starry eyed for muscular "athletic" Black fighters. Another drawback on Wilder is to be brutally honest he doesn't seem to be the brightest lightbulb in the box either.

Actually someone wrote an article about that spar and said if Wilder and Haye fought Wilder would put him flat on his back in one round. Plus the Klits say he is one of the best sparring partners he has ever had.

You can't judge a fighter based on watching him hit a heavy bag.

[mathed]

GAve him a B-......he got the KO, did what he was supposed to do for the most part but he needs to work on his form and balance. He should be fighting like a tall boxer and throw a very straight right from his legs and use leverage. He can improve and will need to improve if he truly intends to step it up to fight the top guys.
