Soon to be in the Wilder/AJ mix

No doubt those were all club fighters, but that is how you learn to be a good boxer, and he was KO-ing men with body shots. That kind of power can't be taught.

Thanks for sharing...I actually had not heard of him yet.

Peep Joshua’s fans trying to answer this question lmao. When has Wilder been in a boring fight lmao? We saw Joshua Takam lmao. We know who is more exciting to watch.

Wilder is must watch TV. I have ZERO doubt how a Wilder fight ends:

A KO.

The man wants nothing more than to destroy the dude who dares to get in front of him and take his beloved title. Even if Wilder losses, is there anyone that thinks he won't go out swinging? To borrow a Trip G line he is "the big drama show" for real.

So I guess it's fun to watch Baby Hughie Fury's flaw of running around the ring, avoiding contact at all costs while throwing pillow fists in the general direction of his opponent and connecting with nothing .

windmill vs baby hughie should then be the most funningest fight to watch ever...yeah???

ZZZZZZzzzz...*yawn*

and why people make fun of him. He's an athletic guy with power that lacks boxing ability of a top fighter. The division being so garbage allows a guy like that to hold a title nowadays. Sad.

People can make fun of him all they want but 100% of those people that do would end up like the 39 men he has faced in the ring. And if he lacks the ability of the top fighter what does that say about Ortiz? A guy that no top heavyweight wanted nothing to do with? Even after a failed PED's test for their first scheduled go around Wilder still wanted to face him to prove the naysayers "you" wrong. Until someone dethrones Wilder he's the man to beat right now regardless of the lack of competition. Some people can't stand when a man is successful.

The man to beat is Joshua and he isn't that good either, he has potential though. The rest of the division is terrible, proven by the fact Wilder has a title.

Like Joshua doesn't have flaws lmao.

People are so fixated on Wilder’s technical flaws that in their minds, they’ve subconsciously turned AJ into this supreme technician. AJ is more polished than Wilder. But that isn’t saying much. But he’s also fairly easy to hit, especially when he’s in their with a guy that can match his height and reach. He also has major stamina issues. Don’t get me wrong. I favor AJ in a fight against Wilder. 99 times outta 100, I’m a pick the more skilled guy. AJ is the more skilled guy. But Wilder has special power. He also has fast hands and knows how to land his shots. And AJ can be touched, especially with straight right hands. So Wilder landing a couple of those right hands and rendering AJ into a state where he can’t fight anymore that night is a high possibility. Which is why it’s an intriguing fight.

"So?" Is indeed an excellent response to the criticism of Wilder's flaws. Its like complaining about a guy using an rpg in a shooting game...DO something about it!

Here is how I see Wilder. I don't see the flaws that everyone sees. What is he lacking from the eye test? Most of his criticism comes from him being wild finishing a guy. MY only criticism of Wilder is he doesn't go to the body enough. He threw a few hooks to the head and body against Ortiz and he needs to do that more, but nobody can remember the last time Wilder has landed a good body shot lol. That might be where Joshua does better, but Wilder has the tell all, end all power. You have to put Wilder's lights out to beat him. I don't think that you have to do that to Joshua. But that's just my opinion.

Is it any worse than it was 5 or 6 years ago? Maybe, maybe not. But it's certainly more exciting.
