    NO
    he is a fraud, one of the most unskilled technically terrible heavyweight champions i have ever seen

    he is basically a 2016 version of michael grant.

      Wilder is an unskilled, stuttering imbecile with the one of the worst techniques I've ever seen, but still beats the majority of HW's due his physical attributes alone.

      However, that will only get him so far, when he comes up against an elite HW like Fury, Klitschko, Ortiz, he'll get completely embarrassed. He knows it, his team knows it, hence why his best opponent is still a disabled Stiverne. Povetkin was a cash out.

          To me he's not that good it's his size 6 foot 7 that gives the trouble just like the Klitschko to me they weren't that good it was the size factor. It's like boxing with your 12 year old son using your just using size

            That video of the little guy knocking the big guy will happen when Wilder fights Andy Ruiz

              Wlad is a far more skilled boxer than Wilder, compare their footwork.

                  guy is 6'7", has an 84 inch reach, fast hands, and he hits like a mule. you start with the stuff that cannot be taught.

                  that's a tough pill to swallow, even if there's *****s in the armor. he's not lennox lewis, a great boxer with an amateur pedigree, by any shot, but this is what larry merchant said about lennox lewis:

                  "sure there are *****s in his armor, but look at all of that armor."

                    Wilder gets far too much B.S. too much stick that he doesn't deserve yes you can question his opposition but you don't get to 30+ fights in the heavyweight division with 30+ stoppages being an absolutely **** fighter it's just absolute rubbish by some people!

                    He has the power to KO anyone on the top 10 list and he is more than willing to bring the entertainment in fact I think he is the best heavyweight fighter to watch to get your **** for your buck.

                      He's a legit force in the current HW landscape. Which isn't saying (that) much. Hopefully he can soon get the defining fights. He's 31 in a few months and it's about time.
