Deontay Wilder...Biggest Hypejob Currently?

[jayblack]

I believe he's a hype job too. The proof is in the pudding, as they say. Eventually, he will get the title shot that he wants so much. Then we'll see if it's all a dream come true for him, or his worst nightmare.

I think it's a bit early to call him a hypejob. Who would be an exceptable fight in order to determine if he is a hypejob or not? So often fans want to put a negative tag on a fighter for the fights that they have fought, but never give a fight that they view as acceptable. I personally thought Scott was going to box his ears off, but one left hook later and I had to stop doubting Wilder. The man has legit power and he's getting better every fight. What more do you want? He did get moved slowly, but he had not been ready to take a step up until now. And I think we can all agree to that.

Don't worry Stiverne will put an end to that as For Russell that's questionable he was a good amateur he just hasn't up his game in the pros when challenged he finds away to weasel his way out of stiff competition

you can blame his management for that. I think theyre going to ruin his career. its ridiculous they never put him in with a durable guy that wasnt too dangerous but would give him some rounds so he could gain experience and improve. you cant improve when your toppling cans within 3 rounds. now he's going to be like a lamb led to slaughter. I cant see how hes going to be able to beat a guy like stiverne if he doesnt catch him early. he just doesnt have enough later round experience. I kinda feel bad for him becuz he could have really improved his chances if he was guided along better. its not like he doesnt have any talent or athletic ability to hone

huh?
Who is hyping him?? It's a rarity for this place tbh but a pleasant one in that pretty much everybody here bar a very small number agree on Wilder.

And the agreement is thus...

He clearly has massive power but equally clearly is completely unproven against decent competition and is very wild.

I guess the hype im referring to is more from the media about he's the next Tyson and such, not so much NSB.

What prompted me to make this video was actually the Charlie Z video lol, I mean deontay hits him like 4 times flush and Charlie Z doesnt even get hurt at all. Even if it that was like 30% of his power youd expect somebody being named the Tyson to have an effect.

I remember reading an interview from Smitty who said when he did an in ring demonstration with Tyson, that Tyson actually broke his nose or something just by accidently tapping him too hard. Thats how heavy Tysons hands are.

Meanwhile Deontay Wilder is throwing punches at Charlie Z and not even hurting him.

At the moment I'd say the things he's proven are a willingness to train hard, travel for fights and that he has serious power in that right hand. He still hasn't really shown that he can box, do damage with the left or fight in the later rounds.

He's a seriously interesting prospect to follow.
