        The thing with wilder is that it's simple

        Whoever you are, if he hits you, you are knocked out. That's it

        Wilders strategy: land a punch

        Opponents strategy: last all 12 without getting hit once

          I can see deontay winning a title but I just don't think he's well rounded enough to hold onto it for a while. way too many holes defensively

            I honestly can't tell.
            Is anyone actually down with the bomb squad?

                I'm not sold on Wilder yet as I believe the Scott fight was fixed. He has still to defeat a top 10 guy legitimately.

                  I like to watch wilder, but it's a sad day in boxing when you can beat a bunch of nobodies and be considered a threat to a title..

                  Wlad makes wilder look like Seth mitchell
                  If it was 5 years ago, I'd agree. Wlad is getting old now. He has to hit and lay over your back to win a fight. He can't do that to Wilder. Wilder is too tall. Wlad will retire before he ever fights Wilder. Mark my words.

                    If you think logically this actually makes a lot of sense. The bookies are going by most likely scenerio, not who the most able bodied heavyweight contender might be. Lets assume Wlad is getting ready to retire in about a year and wants to fight the best name for the buck in a year's time.

                    Looking at Wlad he has not looked to good lately in his last fight and will prolly slow down a bit more. Wilder meanwhile will prolly improve a bit in that time.

                    Assuming Wilder improves and is better and Wlad has slown down a bit....and remembering that ******** is making assumptions...one can then assume as a big puncher Wilder will catch Wlad and win that fight. So why Wilder?

                    In a year's time Wlad will prolly fight one more time, after his mandatory. The assumption is that he will win this next fight...very logical assumption.

                    Wilder is the biggest name and as a cash out fight surely Wlad will try to fight the biggest name.


                    So the bookies actually make some sense.

                      with GGG seemingly on his way out of the division and sexio on his way to retirement Billy Joe Saunders could be a good bet at+400 to pick up a strap. MW isnt that great atm in my opinion.

                      Defo dont see how Yafai, Ogogo, Eubank Jr, C. Smith and AJ are ahead of him!
