Remember when Wilder got officially knockdown by Peter Griffin?
Does Wilder have any boxing skills?

Of course he has SOME boxing skills...
Is he an elite tactical skill guy like lennox, wlad, byrd... No
But wilder showed good ring generalship using the jab to control stiverne...
I think he has an above average jab at heavyweight, and has pretty decent footwork and movement,,,
He isn't great but he does have some skillsComment

Chisora and Cunningham were much better than overrated Stiverne. Fury beat an undefeated Chisora who W. Klitschko ducked and went on to be robbed against then top 5 Helenius and gave Vitali Klitschko a tough fight. Cunningham was a former world champ and consensus top 5 fighter who is the only fighter to ever knock Marco Huck out (Huck later beat up and was robbed vs Povetkin) has been robbed 2x against Adamek and in the last IBF eliminator vs top 10 Glazkov. Stiverne got beat up and stopped by bum Demetrius King and he was getting badly outboxed for 10 rounds by a fat shot sloth Ray Austin. After beating nobody Stiverne won a vacant title against Arreola who never beat anybody good. The sub 50 ranked schoolteacher's performance puts into perspective how bad and limited Stiverne was. Fury in spite of being younger with less fights clearly has a better resume than Wilder.Comment

Looked good skill wise against Stiverne. Not as good on Saturday.
He has skills but needs to improve on that. More questionable is his chin, I would think. Its the HW, so most can KO anyone but he did look shaky a few times in his last fight.
Skills wise, I think that he has concentrated so much on KOing people that it took away from developing more his skills. Now that he moves up in level of competition, he will need to lift up his own skills.
Still, I see someone who CAN improve. So that is a good thing.Comment
