why is no one sold on wilder?

[paulf]

Wilder is the real deal.

It's just like Canelo though: people are JUST NOW finally accepting that Canelo is a good fighter because GBP brought him along slow at first and fans had grown accustomed to talking **** about him.

Wilder started late and has been learning on the job, but dude is the real deal. Before, people said he'd never fight Stiverne, that Stiverne would kill him, blah blah blah. Now they say the same thing with Povetkin, and Wilder's going to shut him out. And then it will be the same **** with the next guy.

People want to see him face better competition. Besides Bermaine his opponents haven't been great.

I'm a Wilder fan though and I'm ready to see him face Povetkin in 2016 and prove haters wrong.

Bomb Squad!!!

People are biased, if you look at the HW division objectively you'll see the truth.

-Tyson Fury, HW Champion of the world. Dropped by a blown up feather fisted cruiser, Cunningham, dropped by Pajkic, rocked by Abell, Chisora, etc.

If that was Wilder getting rocked and dropped by those types of fighters I can just imagine the hate he'd get.

-Povetkin, went life and death with blown up protected (now exposed) CW Marco Huck, struggled against Chagaev, struggled against Takam, but everyone's on his sack because he KO'd Perez who didn't even train properly for the fight.

Both Fury and Jennings did levels better against Wlad than the 1 dimensional Povetkin, he got blown out of the water.


These are considered the very elite of the division lol.

Wilder has completely dominated his competition. Duahapaus is better than Wach and nobody gives Wilder credit for it.

spinning it the way you want to. blinkers bud. blinkers.

1. a close fight is now apparantly going life and death. riight.

2. brutally knocking someone dead, is apparantly struggling

3. perez didnt train...for the biggest fight of his entire career...based on ? nothing. based on your blinkers.

4. this whole post (which is total drivel) is based on you think one of povetkins previous opponents is worse than one of wilder's opponents.

5. you forgot to mention wilder being rocked BY A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER LMAO

[brettWall]

He's just another typical Haymon fighter. Win a heavily-hyped mediocre fight, then fight a long list of cab drivers.

[mathed]

I like Wilder a lot, I think hes a good fighter and is good for boxing. I think what most people dont like about him is the trend that Haymon fighters have had lately and thats get 1 good win than fight no hopers after.

Exactly!!! I was going to post the same thing. It's a disgusting trend but it seems to be the business model that they think will work.

You obviously didn't watch the fight, Huck-Povetkin were practically evenly matched, it was a war with Povetkin just barely edging it. Huck even rocked Povetkin a few times. This is a damn CW we're talking about, not even the best fighter in his division, and it was his 1st fight as a HW!

2. brutally knocking someone dead, is apparantly struggling

Again, you didn't watch the fight. Takam was out boxing Povetkin early, the fight was close up until the KO. Povetkin is a very 1 dimensional boxer that relies solely on his power.

3. perez didnt train...for the biggest fight of his entire career...based on ? nothing. based on your blinkers.

Perez put on 9lbs of pure fat within 3 months, that's an average weight gain of 3lbs a month. A professional athlete cannot put on that type of weight in that short period unless they're slacking. Perez came in out of shape and cold, and got caught. Wilder would've achieved the same result as Povetkin.

5. you forgot to mention wilder being rocked BY A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER LMAO

He was BARELY rocked by a clean shot to the chin, again their feet getting tangled up made it look worse than it actually was. Molina hits hard, he almost KO'd Arreola before charging in recklessly and getting caught.

This is a HW fighter we're talking about 24 wins 18 KO's, he's not a cruiser like Huck or Cunningham.

4. this whole post (which is total drivel) is based on you think one of povetkins previous opponents is worse than one of wilder's opponents.

The whole point of my post is to show there isn't as much as a talent gap in the HW division as people make it seem. Wilder-Povetkin-Fury are all near the same caliber, there is no dominant force, the HW division is filled with a ton of very mediocre fighters at best, and a ton of crappy fighters below them.

It also shows the double standards people have, imagine if Wilder was getting dropped by Cunningham, Pajkic, etc. imagine if Wilder was struggling to beat Huck getting rocked numerous times in the process or had a close fight with Chagaev. What do you think the reaction would be on this forum?

Wilder dominated Stiverne-Scott-Duhapaus-Molina etc. these fights were not close. They all took severe beatings (aside of Scott, temple shot put him down), just to land their punches. People are jumping on Wilder for any little thing.

My reaction would be, well at least he wasn't knocked down by Harold Sconiers.
