    Wilder as a super star

    Does Wilder have the goods to become a super star? He has a better KO ratio than GGG (I know he hasn't fought any live dogs but). It would sure be cool to see him fight and knockout some big names before a Klicksko bout. I'll be rooting for him

    I think the Povetkin fight will say a lot. If he can beat a guy like that then he can achieve bigger things.

      If he becomes the heavyweight champ, he will be the biggest star in boxing. I have zero doubt about that.

        Wilder is looks fairly legit. Haymon is caudalling him too much, but I could see Wilder beat someone like Povetkin. He works his jab with incredible power and great activity he could keep Povetkin on the outside and break him down. He showed great stamina in the Stieverne fight and seems very committed to learning his craft.

        But Wilder does have a questionable chin and didn't grow up in boxing and lacks some fundamentals and instincts. Time will tell, but you can tell Haymon's scared to move him too quickly.

          He hasnt looked like a superstar so far. You need more than lots of KO's to be a superstar. The HW division is still terrible.
          Lets say he beats Wlad, Fury and Joshua. Then beats up a load of bums. Who will care?

                Mike Tyson knocked out a bunch of bums and everybody cared.

                If he beat Wlad or Fury he'd absolutely be a gigantic star in boxing.

                No question about it.

                If he beat Povetkin believe me, a Wlad or Fury fight would do huge numbers.

                  He won a bronze medal in the olympics with BARELY ANY amateur background. Dude has skills. Not superb skills, but natural skills. And a deadly punch that doesnt get taught.

                    Yeah

                    He's got the charisma and KO power to become a big deal. Still needs legitimacy though and the only way to get that is by laying out Klitshcko
