    Wilder has some interesting extremes. Incredible strength, reach, physique. Terrible coordination and defensive habits.

    I brought up Foreman because he's the one other guy I've seen with that "whoops, I think I killed him" power. He's certainly not a prime Foreman, but that's ok.
    Great video clip, btw. Haha

      deontay is complete garbage, says a lot about the division that you can get as far as he has by being tall, in shape and having a good power punch. Cause he is a god damn awful boxer

            i remember seeing it live and steve bunce squirming in his chair trying to justify that the punch on the gloves did really land, so cringeworthy.

              When you have the physical advantages and talent that Deontay has, skills and technique matter less and less. His height, speed, movement, power, and conditioning is going to make him a tough opponent for anyone.

              A cross sport reference would be the skill and technique of the typically shorter Point Guards compared to the Centers. Compare the skill of a Steph Curry to a Dwight Howard.

                What he lacks in skills he makes up for with heart!
                I've watched this kid for years now and I'm telling everyone that he comes to fight and he will go out on his shield.
                If you paid attention to the fight with Chris you saw Chris getting "moved" by punches that didn't land cleanly! Thats a punch moving a 250 pound man off his balance and that's how Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano to Sonny Liston to Mike Tyson to Wlad learned that you don't need to be precised you need to land on the shoulders and arms with the first few shots then follow up with better accuracy.

                I would expect some of the more polished heavies like Joshua and Ortiz to do well against him but it won't surprise me if he beats them.
                Right now I'd pick him to stop Wlad and give Fury everything he wants.
                I think Wilder vs Fury is the best heavy bout to be made right now.
                It won't be pretty but a fight will break out!!!!
                If you can't have Robinson vs Gavalin then I'll take Gatti vs Ward.

                Fury Wlad Wilder all look terrible to me they arms are too long top show coordination their balance looks off they don't work in combinations.
                So watch Roman Gonzales if you want to see power and skills!!!

                  Being overly tall requires more coordination and could be as difficult as being overly short vs a giant witreach. Wilder is top heavy also . Is he the most off balance fighter ever? Idont know ,Foreman used to fall over his punches at times being aggressive going forward, Wilder seems to go off balance when hes hit or even blocks punches. He maybe needs to add muscle to his legs ,only he knows that . At 6'7 he really doesnt weigh that much and may have a weak anchor next to histop broad shoulders build. Its certainly his wide leg stance ,he doesnt know when to reposition his legs for balance ,hes wide all the time.

                    lol all boxing fans do these days is hate boxing and the boxers all they do is post about what they don't like and how garbage everyone is, unless its a fighter they like. Wilder is tall so he will look uncoordinated but hes a pretty good athletic heavyweight and the division finally has a spark and some good/decent fights to look forward to, if he eventually loses then he will be a bum right? He comes to fight, has 36 Kos in 37 fights, u all complain about boring technical fighters then a knock out artist comes and u find something else to complain about.... God forbid a professional fighter struggles wit another one as well, what exactly do u guys want? Yes boxing has its downs but damn lol
