Deontay Wilder is. . .

he's basically a big ass Isaac Frost

why wouldn't he be dangerous to wlad? a tall long fighter than can reach his glass chin before he's able to clinch. sounds dangerous to me. the thing is wlad doesn't actually have any defense aka parrying punches, head movement etc...his defense is holding but wilder is so long that it's gonna be difficult to get to him and hold. wlad might be able to take wilder out before wilder takes him out but that kind of strategy is surely dangerous

I would agree but I'll give Wlad the benefit of the doubt that he's still too far advanced to allow that to happen plus there were the sparring sessions that went badly for Wilder at least allegedly.

the biggest hype job in Boxing since Jeff Lacy. Agreed?

100% agreed, were fans always this gullible and easy to fool. There is a good reason he is matched so carefully and soft.

Isaac Frost would KO Wilder. Wilder is hype. Plain and Simple. Another Seth Mitchell.

Who's being fooled and about what?

I've seen nothing other than he's not that skilled but has huge power from almost everyone including the broadcasters who make a point to say he's fought nobody.

There were posters that Honestly believed Broner was going to be fighter of the decade.That's a pretty far cry from the Wilder hype.

From where I'm sitting Wilder hasn't improved at all since his debut. His punch technique is god awful and he doesn't have a jab. His footwork is mediocre and the jury is still out on his chin. I have no words to describe Wilders resume.

I'm just speculating but it feels like Wilder has bought into his own hype and maybe thinks he is the complete package now. I mean who wouldn't when you've knocked over 31 of your 31 opponents and you don't register that they were total and utter bums.

Below are some of the fighters I feel would school Wilder in no particular order:

Wlad
Haye
Fury
Chisora
Thompson
Povetkin
Jennings
Arreola
Stiverne
Pulev
Perez
Banks
Browne

From what I've see of Wilder, he would go life and death with the likes of Manuel Charr and Seth Mitchell at this current time.

I don't see Wilder ever improving enough to be a serious contender and his career is going to blow up as soon as he steps in the ring with a contender/fringe contender.

seth Mitchell vs wilder for the title! seth will box that fool up

lol seth was never hyped and hes no finished. wilder is being talked about because of his KOs but hes not hyped yet! once he gets a title people will believe

the biggest hype job in Boxing since Jeff Lacy. Agreed?

.........I can't agree man, unless he has the deepest pockets known to man and is paying off every opponent, this man has the power to take out every heavyweight out there. No one is safe and the more rounds hegets under his belt, the scarier he is going to become.....Wlad, Fury, Stiverne, Arreola, Price, Fury had all be on notice because when that power lands, the gig is up, you lose.

[HanzGruber]

It's the same thing with broner. Most people here hate him. So who exactly is hyping him? Lol
