Is that the same footage where Haye's legs buckle from a Wilder punch?

He is definitely not invincible like some of his fans claim. What does he have besides a long right hand?

Haye gave him a boxing lesson when they sparred.

Deontay wilder is... An untested, limited power puncher with great size

Unless you have video of th session no one knows this. The highlight vid for Haye certainly wasn't going to show anything but him doing well.

He is definitely not invincible like some of his fans claim. What does he have besides a long right hand?

Actually he has power in both hands.

Even his jabs can stun opponents, pretty much everything he lands causes noticeable damage. Firtha's face looked horrible after a few rounds.

Speed, reach, heavy hands. Like most punchers, his defense is bad. One solution is to knock Wilder out before he can damage you. Easier said than done.

Who calls Wilder invincible? I don't think I have heard anyone say anything even close to that.

He is tougher to beat than some people make out? Sure, I have heard people say that and I have said that.

That he is dangerous to most everyone? Sure


I have never seen anyone go beyond either of those things and generally the feeling on him is more negative from not sold on him to total scrub.

[SN!PER]

The Haye sparring session shows all of the opponents coming after Haye, fighting in close quarters. Why? Because Haye was training for Tyson Fury, and Fury (despite his size) likes inside fighting. Wilder and the others were instructed to emulate Fury.

Wilder usually fights at longer range than in that sparring, so it's not his natural style. Obviously he is going to look sloppy fighting that way. Also as others point out, it's like 5 seconds of footage. His team hand-picked footage to make Haye look good. They didn't show you the parts where Haye looked to be in trouble.

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

I don't agree. Has he been moved along slowly? Yes he has, but he is doing exactly what he needs to do in is fights. They've tried to up his level of comp, but he has taken these fighters out before we get a chance to see him tested. I really thought Scott was going to give him a boxing lesson, but he never got a chance. the only thing we know is that Wilder can punch, we don't know if he can handle adversity yet. I would really like to see how he handles a fighter like Arreola. A guy who can take a punch and never stops pressuring you.
