The reasons why Deontay is the best heavyweight since prime evander

[BostonGuy]

I've been staunch proponent and critic of Deontay Wilder ever since he went pro and his development from a crude amateur to a guy who looks and acts like a fighter is remarkable. That's not to say he's not without flaws and he is still very much a work-in-process. I think if Wilder gets past Arreola and hopefully Povetkin later this year, I could easily make a case for him as the number 1 heavyweight in world. His conditioning is impeccable, he has tremendous power, his boxing skills and generalship are solid (but not great) and he has a killer instinct that rivals a young George Foreman. I expect this guy to do some great things and give us some memorable fights.

HAHAHAHAHA No you couldn't. WK & Fury would still be above him til he fights & beats either those two. As for Povetkin.. He is becoming inactive (hasn't fought since last year) & Arreola is washed up. He couldn't decisively beat C level stiffs Kassi & Kauffman last time out! You're fookin ******ed man to make such a claim.. No way could you argue that! Beats Fury, WK, & Povetkin & then you could. I think Joshua is going to be the best of this era anyway.. To be the best you fight the best & Deontay hasn't! Arreola LMAO....

Let me qualify my statement by this: if Wilder demolishes Arreola and Povetkin effortlessly (and I could see this happening) then I would make the case for him being number 1. Tyson Fury's victory over Klitschko wasn't exactly a super impressive performance. There's winning, then there's winning in style and in domination. Wilder and Joshua are doing that right now - not so much Fury or Klitschko.

Whenever foreigners reference "those stupid Americans", they're talking about you.

You can't compare wins over Arreola & Povetkin to a win over Wladimir Klitschko. The winner of Wlad-Fury II is the #1 until someone beats them.

This will happen in Wlad-Fury II. they will be stripped including their clothes.

You don't need to qualify it. You think beating a washed up Arreola (look at his recent form) & Povetkin makes you number 1! Neither of those two are rated in any consensus top 2 by ANYONE! Secondly Ortiz, Joshua & Pulev are way better than Arreola! Wilder will only become consensus #1 by beating the Fury/WK winner.. To be considered dominant after that he would then have to beat the likes of the above also! Beating Povetkin would definitely make him top 5 but its all speculation & what ifs!

You don't rate people #1 by how impressive the performance was over a lower tier fighter than the top 2 or whether it was a demolition job you idiot. To be the best you beat the best (regardless of the manner a win is a win) LOL Wilder & Joshua are beating up lesser fighters than WK & Fury (who aren't destroying each other in such a manner) hence they are the real top 2! My god man..

LMAO

Stervenson, Ramirez & Thomas Williams, Jr. are destroying Wards competition easier than Ward (Bika, Dawson, AA) Stevenson, Ramirez & Thomas Williams Jr>Ward.
