Ok let's be fair to Wilder and list the positive things about him.

[Raggamuffin]

The best thing is he has Joshua’s fans shook. I’m all for that kinda **** lmao.

I am gonna JOIN you here... Everything you said is truth.

[Holler]

I think the best thing about Wilder is his back story:

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/dec/22/deontay-wilder-i-want-to-fight-anthony-joshua-but-eddie-hearn-doesnt-want-to-risk-his-gravy-train

Away from the mad hyping he comes across as a lot more thoughtful and genuine. I think the brash exterior is an act to sell tickets but a lot of fighters have to do similar.

He only needs one positive thing and thats he knows how to win even if its buying time when being over matched in skill . Heshowed against a LEGIT top guy and he did it bxc he has PATIENCE ,which is his best quality even though that will backfire on him against you know who !

He needs this factor bc hes probably peaked ,hes had 40 fights and wont improve that much beyond his Ortiz fight .


Wheather he won or lost , hes still a top 3 fighter .


For whatever reaon ppl are still severely underating Ortiz .


When you do this you have to take into consideration the other top guys . Parker bc he is the other champion for example should NOT be favored over Ortiz . Anyone with good or decent boxing sense SHOULD see why !


At the end of the day the 6'7 unorthodox fighter DOES have certain attributes that make him a top 3 fighter for NOW . I believe STILL a 50/ 50 fight between Ortiz and him would be FACTUAL if they fought again . I dont believe Wilder defeats Joshua but put Joshua and Ortiz to the side and look at the other guys ?


Really this shouldn't be so difficult to see reasoning why Joshua , Wilder and Ortiz are the top 3 guys .

[tokon]

His self-belief is enormous. And I'm not talking about ego. I'm talking about him being wrecked yet still believing he can still pull it off. He didn't wilt, didn't look disheartened...amazing heart.

. . . and that counts for a lot.

I would like to see Wilder get back up to at least +220lb though.

[Rockin']

I believe he did against Spzilka and someone has a gif of it showing ?

That would be a funny clip to see. Kind of like feeling a hurricane wind going by you and then the hurricane just hits the canvas. LMAO........

Good power
Fast
Fun to watch
Has alot of heart

He should honestly keep his weight low. It improves his speed and gas tank, no reason for him to gain more weight.

Yes, looking at the Ortiz fight you might well be correct!

Around the weight of the Washington fight seems the best for him. More gets him useless muscle around his shoulders that only hurts his balance
