At age 29, Mayweather had done a whole lot more than beat a Bermaine Stiverne caliber opponent.

HWs can blow up in popularity very fast though, of course they have to be good enough and I'm just not convinced Wilder is the goods.
The win over Stiverne was good but a win over Povetkin would be huge for his credibility.
Outside of the ring, Wilder has a lot of charisma, he's marketable.Comment

If you look at most boxing superstars over the past several years, we knew that they were the real deal by the time they hit age 30.HWs can blow up in popularity very fast though, of course they have to be good enough and I'm just not convinced Wilder is the goods.

He is going to need some big wins to do that, stop wasting time fight guys like Molina. He should have jumped right into the Povetkin fight to be honest instead of wasting time with Molina. Once you're Champion and you start making a name for yourself, you can't go back to fighting Easy Fights. You will not be able to fight a TBA on PPV so I hope these fighters understand that. If you not going to take on the very best don't waste your time trying to be a "Superstar" in BoxingLast edited by sicko; 06-09-2015, 03:28 PM.Comment

this egomaniacal fantasy world broner thinking is in modern negro DNA. guys like archie moore Floyd Patterson were humble highly skilled fighters who never talked like thatI'm sick of Wilder's talk as if he actually has credibility right now. The Heavyweight Division will always have one main man and I'll personally dismiss Wilder until he faces Klitschko.
Although if he beats Povetkin that would say something but that doesn't surpass the dominance Klitschko has on the division.Comment

You would actually have to put time and work in, not just beat up bums and expect the public to anoint you the second coming.Comment
