Honestly? No.
I don't really see people hyping up Wilder online like they did Lacy. The only people hyping Wilder seem to be the networks themselves. Boxing fans seem to be in unanimous agreement that he's still got a lot of work to do.

I don't think he's hyped either. He generates a lot of speculation and doubt. I guess if you want to call that hye you can. His physical talents speak for themselves. He's more athletic, bigger, and has more power then most HW's. Technically he's kind of a mess. He needs rounds, and he's just not getting them.
A talented HW could definitely make him look silly if they can get arond the physical advantages.landotter likes this.

Ready for a title shot given the lack of depth in this division he is title ready at this point to see what he is made of. I can honestly see him KO Wlad, because Deontay is Bronze medalist and has the amateur pedigree to box although he has not had enough rounds in the pros to do so.
BUT
Stiverne beats his azz. Hes a true pro.

His signature win was a fixed fight dive so the jury is still out. I have a feeling that we may see a few more dubious fights involving Wilder in the future.

Even his biggest fans will admit that he is very raw. I don't see him being overhyped, although his power does have people intrigued.Last edited by ShoulderRoll; 03-23-2014, 03:11 PM.landotter likes this.

Like somebody else said - Dude needs more rounds to improve his skills through practice and repetition. But he's not going to get them if he keeps fighting tomato cans and guys who take dives.
