Wilder is a great ambassador for the Heavyweight division. He's serious about the sport. He isn't out getting into trouble outside the ring. He's a positive influence in his community, always doing charity work. He says the right things inside the ring and does the right things outside the ring. Doesn't get fat and lazy when he's not fighting. He stays active, one of the most active heavyweight champions in decades. We all know his skills leave a lot to be desired but he keeps on winning. Malik Scott was supposed to expose him, it didn't happen. Then Stiverne was really supposed to expose his limited boxing skills and his stamina. Wilder went 12 rounds and easily came away with the victory while sending Stiverne to the hospital for dehydration because his stamina wasn't up to par.Szpilka being a southpaw with decent skills did give Wilder some issues but that jab was landing with frequency. That cut on Szpilka's eye didn't just appear outta nowhere. He also landed 42% of his power shots and 30% overall to Szpilka's 27%.
He took two entertaining voluntary fights while Povetkin kept delaying the mandatory. He attempted to get a fight with Glazkov but he and his team decided to go the easier route and strip Fury in order to fight Martin for the IBF title. Szpilka was the next best available fighter and as it turns out Szpilka was better than Glazkov. People who complain about Wilder fighting Molina and Duhaupas conveniently forget the soft touches Fraizer, Ali and all other champs took after winning their titles.
You've got Tyson Fury spouting his Jesus freak hate. Running around the arena drunk and trying to fight Carl Froch and anybody else in the arena. But once again Wilder takes the high road when asked about Fury.
I wasn't a Wilder fan to begin with but when I saw him constantly working to get better and his love for the sport he made me a fan. Where does this hate for Wilder come from? I can understand not being a fan of his boxing skills but I don't understand the irrational hate he receives.
