Comments Thread For: Wilder Explains The Problems He'll Pose For Klitschko

[richardt]

Wilder proved a chin, stamina, and conditioning. He is a threat to any heavyweight on the planet with the things he showed last night. Now and then a fighter will come along and answer a number of questions in a single fight and Wilder did this. Just needs to get some rounds in each fight to continue building stamina.

Wilder beat on a punching bag last nite, nothing more. Couldn't even put him away. Wlads right hand has more power, his left hand definitely has more power. Theres a reason Wilder is calling out Fury first.

i mean, how can you be in any fight if you can't even have your hands free to throw punches. And he was in it because he went on the attack and had wlad panicked. I can go on all day about it but wlads supporters always try to say he doesn't hold of downplay the difference it makes in the fight

Yeah, I did notice how panicked Wlad was as he beat the snot of Povetkin. I am a Wlad fan and I was highly disappointed that he held so much in the Povetkin fight. With that if he had not held as much I believe Wlad would have knocked Povetkin out. Povetkin was also a bigger part of the problem then he was the solution.

Wilder is actually believing his own hype lol. He should be fined just for claiming he has an IQ at all!. What is really sad is that Stiverne was his toughest fight but Stiverne fought a **** fight! I wouldn't be surprised if he was payed off to make Wilder look good like Guererro did against Mayweather. To just stand there with your guard up taking punishment and barely throwing any punches?? I want Wilder to get fight Wlad and get wrecked and put to sleep. If he really was confident he would go straight for Wlad instead of Fury.

Stiverne took way too many punches for it to be a dive. He was really hurt in the second. Wilder has some boxing IQ. A less cerebral fighter might have punched himself out in the 7th instead he settled down and landed enough for a 10-8 round.

With heavyweights, anything can happen. I just think it is great seeing heavyweights like Wilder and Wlad who despite not having a weight limit in the heavyweights, chose to come into the ring carved up and in great shape while other fighters in the lower weight classes who are expected to make weight, don't get into as great of shape. Wilder went 12 rounds which almost no one thought he could, as well as take a big punch. I like both Wilder and Wlad.

How the hell was he part of the problem? And you must be a ufc fan at heart to appreciate wlads style. That is certainly NOT boxing. And it's not like that's his only fight doing it. Even in his last fight he reached to clinch before even throwing his first punch. Don't believe me? Go watch it I challenge u. It can't be that every one of his opponents is the reason for clinches because it's not happening in any other fights. Say what you want about Wilder not finishing stiverne but he didn't have the luxury of tiring him out by leaning on his back and holding for all those rounds. Makes a huge difference. Wilder showed how to use reflexes, range and actual boxing skills to keep your opponent at distance. How many clinches did you see last night? Everything I'm saying is facts too.

I don't think Wilder is ready for Klit just yet and anybody who thinks he will be able to fight him on the inside is forgetting that Klit holds everybody once they get inside and Wilder's skinny legs will get tired when the heavier Klitschko holds and leans. If the fight is in the US he won't be able to get away with that but in Germany Klit has carte blanche to do what he wants. Wilder does not want to give up his reach advantage and go inside. I also think that Klit has more power than Wilder...I'm pretty sure he would have KO'd Stiverne last night inside of 8 rounds.

With that said as Wilder gets more experience and Klit gets older the future I believe will favour Wilder especially if they fight in the US...but for now I'd have to go with Klitschko.

Am I the only one that finds it curious that all of a sudden the fight with Jennings is back on since wilder won? I bet if it was stiverne he would have screaming for unification immediately

I think the Jennings fight was signed last week.

[PunchyPotorff]

Wilder conveniently doesn't mention the problems Wlad poses him. Better power, athleticism, size, at least equal speed, better jab, way more experience...

And BTW if anyone remembers... I believe in the last round vs Haye, David landed a bomb and all it did was get Wlad mad. And Haye CAN pop. Wilder proved some things last night. That does not mean he is the greatest thing to ever hit boxing. At least for the next couple years, Wlad beats him easily. And Povetkin does the same, and maybe even Fury. And BTW, Stiverne did as much to beat Stiverne as Wilder did.

In a straigh boxing match (No Hugging and wrestling.) He beat Wladimir via KO.
