Has Wilder Been Knocked Down Yet?

WTF are you talking about?
Im not planning on defending the Harrison fight, but Harrison was EBU champ at the time and came off his career best win. When Wilder fought him, Price had just knocked him out of his senses in 80 seconds.Comment

but haye was champion of the world when he fought harrison, wilder as just a prospect taking his first steps to becoming a contender.
its really irrelevant which is worse though, they were both horrible match ups that everyone knew would end with harrison on the floor, which is always the case when he is in with a decent fighter. lets just hope he doesnt get chisora like he wants.Comment

Yup completely agree-but haye was champion of the world when he fought harrison, wilder as just a prospect taking his first steps to becoming a contender.

I am British and I have to say that I would put Wilder on even par with someone like Tyson Fury or Derek Chisorsa.
I don't think he is the same class as David Haye, but he is better than Audley Harrison or David Price.
It's a padded division full of over-hyped fighters trying to get a payday.
In terms of pure excitement I actually quite enjoy watching Wilder, you never know what might happen.Comment

but he's had many more fights than them and only in his last fight before Scott fought Firtha! That's pretty miserable for a guy with 30 fights - I don't care how many amateur fights he's had.
The likes of Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes had similar amateur backgrounds but were right in the mix a lot sooner than Wilder and fought way way better opposition at that stage, so I don't think there's any excuses.
Chisora has already fought the likes of Haye, Helenius, Klitschko, Scott, Johnson, Fury etc. and Fury has fought Cunningham, Johnson, Chisora etc.
So Wilder might be the goods, but his resume certainly doesn't back it up. He's still to fight a live opponent.Comment
