Deontay Wilder's Path to Greatness

[N/A]

He's been a champion, not the champion. 3 and half years of fighting bums lol.

He holds the most respected and historical belt in the unlimited weight class. He is the champion of the sport of boxing.

I would call him good, not great. He is too old to suddenly become great. That's just my opinion. If others think he is great maybe they are right. I don't think any heavyweight fighting today is great. If Ortiz can come close to KOing Wilder I think a prime Foreman or Tyson would KO him.

If he has convincing wins over Fury and AJ as well as Parker..he could make a case for being a fringe great at HW. He has won all his bouts despite glaring flaws so that must be acknowledged

Nobody respects Wilder's bum ass belt, who did he win it off again?

Deontay Wilder has been soundly outboxed by midget football hooligans and chubby ex football players, yet fools here are claiming he's great?

Bermane Stiverne, who was the consensus #2 heavyweight in the world at the time. Whereas AJ won his belt from Charles Martin, the #9 heavyweight in the world at the time.

If he beats fury and joshua. He will be a hall of famer.

Most of Tyson's best wins were not much better than Deontay Wilder's. Tyson lost against the best names he fought, unless they were shot to bits i.e Holmes.

His highlight reel of KO's were usually against fairly poor opposition.

Don't get me wrong. he was important and good for boxing, one of the most exciting fighters you will see but his actual level is a bit overrated.
