Are Americans excited for Deontay Wilder?

[Wolfie*]

Are you excited that you guys have a heavyweight champion? We haven't had one since like 2006. What do you think of Wilder? Do you think he has potential to be a champion for a long time? He showed me a lot as a boxer his last fight with his jab and moving around the ring. I understand he's a work in progress but I think he has a lot of potential to be great. Thoughts boxing heads?

If you're not at least a little excited about a young, 6'7, undefeated, ENORMOUS PUNCHING American heavyweight that's shown some good skills, why you even watch boxing?

He wasn't very enormous punching against Stiverne.

American: Not a factor. If anything it takes points away since foreign boxers have to go on a killing spree to get any attention, but an even mediocre American-based heavyweight is usually thrust into the top 5 prematurely.

Undefeated: Insert against 99% bums asterisk here.

I am excited that the HWT division has a fight I want to see in wlad v wilder given how they both performed in their last fights.

So if that guy in your Sig beats him, it doesn't mean anything? After all, he fought bums according to you so it shouldn't, right?

I think the kids OK.

It would be funny but not very meaningful. Povetkin has already beaten hyped up guys with 1 good win.

I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon to be honest. I think Wilder's people know he aint ready yet so they will let it drag on for a bit. I'm hoping for a fury showdown this year. I would love to see Wilder flatten his ass over in the UK.

I am happy we got a titlist now, but not excited per se. Wilder needs to show some more facets of his game to see if he is a complete fighter. He stuck to the game plan to beat Stiverne, I commend him for that. It wasn't an exciting fight, but it was a by the book win. Nothing flashy, just a good win.
