Deontay Wilder's skills exposed by Atlas

[YellowDragon]

wilder is clearly more raw physical talent than actual skill but he does possess probably the best jab in the division(outside of past prime but still dangerous wlad) and that right hand can be a game changer vs any heavyweight, even the divisions top dog AJ whos obviously a more complete fighter than wilder but showed against wlad hes very vulnerable to the straight or over hand right which is the bombers top weapon...

as good as AJ looks there still isnt anybody in the division who has established themselves as head or shoulders above the rest of the division but i really believe with the AJ's rematch with wlad in the fall,talks of fury returning in 2018 and wilder seemingly willing for unification with the other titlists that everything will clear itself up by the end of 2018 and we will finally have a heavyweight kingpin again...

37 wins and Teddy Atlas finds less than 3 mins of weaknesses? Nice try,

We could do it with literally every fight he's had.

Nobody boasts about his skills. It's his athleticism and power

What's his athleticism? Wilder is a stiff.

His feet look like they are being dragged through mud.

I thought we were all already in agreement that AJ should be favored against Wilder and that Wilder isn't more technical or more skilled than AJ. However, with Wilder...it literally only takes one punch. The man can concuss you with the first punch he lands. That's a scary thought.

Yet it took him deep rounds to close the show on average slobs like Molina, Arreola, Duhaupas etc-

None of those guys would last 3 with AJ.

[LacedUp]

That power is a good equalizer though and someone has yet to make him pay for those mistakes

Because he fights average joes all the time.

No he doesn't.

For the record, I say AJ would KO him badly, but in boxing, anything can happen and Deontay has always found that one punch on people who were outboxing him i.e. Washington and that Polish boy.

He has poor footwork which is a skill. His athleticism makes up for that.

If swatting flies in a barbecue has helped him KO dudes then he must be grilling some dope ass meat!!
