in 12 hours time, Deontay Wilder becomes "legit"

[SkillspayBills]

Somehow I don't think that's going to happen, he's really clumsy and easy to catch, it would just take a guy with good power to catch him. If he fought an aggressive fighter such as David Haye, he'd get wiped out.

Didn't they spar? I remember a reporter writing an article about it and saying that if it was a real fight Haye would have gotten KO'd in 1 round.

He american doe. Thats all he needs. Anyone else with just "a big right hand", and they'd be tattered to shreds here.

An in-shape Arreola would blow out Wilder just as fast as he did Seth Mitchell.

Wilder has never faced that kind of pressure from a guy with any credibility.

Wilder has so many faults and problems that it's hilarious. He's the product of hype and steroids.

I heard that when Wilder sparred Wlad he got knocked down and almost out by a left jab.

No wonder Wlad would like to face him.

Lol they'll say Chisora already beat Scott. If he wants the credit, he needs to take the risk of taking someone on that's on a good run. Fight Bryant Jennings/Chisora/Fury and then we might found how legit he is.

Still wouldn't be surprised to see Scott pose some problems, he looked good early against Chisora. But the reason Golden Boy were happy to make this fight is because if Del Boy can deck him, Wilder when he connects will leave Scott like a crumpled beer can. I recon it could take a few rounds for Deontay to land though, and we might even be lucky enough to see how he takes a punch.

Who's to say Perez can't recover mentally? Assuming that's what is wrong with him. Remember he took the fight with Takam on a quick turn around.

I hope Perez recovers and gets back in top form in his next fight. A good six months of time can do a lot of good, so we'll see what happens. Takam is a very resilient, competitive fighter who kept up with Perez using his activity rate while Perez looked sluggish. But normally I wouldn't expect him to perform that well against someone of Perez caliber with a high skill level and experience.

Pulev has done plenty enough to merit a title shot, including beating the previously undefeated giant Alex Ustinov.

Now he has to fight Chisora as a mandatory while Wlad fights Leapai.

He's getting ****ed over big time.

I agree, Pulev has been given the short end of the stick with dog shit stuck to it.

Pulev deserves:

a) a fight with Wladimir after Leapai gets his Samoan butt pounded to smithereens

OR

b) a fight against the winner of Arreola - Stiverne, which he would probably WIN.

It's a crime that Pulev hasn't been given the title shot yet, but he will get there. And when he does, he's coming for a WAR.

Throw Wilder in with Lucas Big Daddy Browne! lets see how well he fares then!

Too slow, too sloppy!

Lucas will be 'down under' the ref's knees by round 3 dreaming he's on a nude beach full of Corona girls playing naked twister.

That's because Wlad is the best HW on the face of the earth bar none no debating.

Have no clue what that has to do with the discussion I was having about Haye and Wilder though.

You'll know how phoney this is by how fast Scott gets KO'd.

He's got enough defensive skill to make the fight last awhile. He got the British "quick stoppage" job against Chisora and seemed just fine.

If he's looking at the stars early in the fight, you'll know he got a nice little bonus for taking a dive.

wlad would like to face him? where do you get that from? the zero offers he has sent to wilder? the fact that he's fighting a bum like leapai? wlad knows up close and personal how dangerous wilder is and that's why he's ducking

Just that rumors are just that: it depends what you want to believe.

I also heard Haye put Wilder down easily.

Who the **** knows?

My money would easily be on Haye in a legit fight with Wilder.

This fight tonight is showing signs of being far from legit.

Because he already mentioned Wilder as a possible opponent even though he's done nothing AT ALL to merit a shot?

As for Leapai, isn't he a mandatory? I'd take Leapai over Wilder if they fought.

My opinion is that this shot should be Pulev's, but my opinion doesn't matter.

Pulev is the best HW not named Klitschko at the moment, with Haye out of the picture.
