Lets rate Deontay Wilder's boxing skills.

How can you rate something he does not have?

Dude can't box for sh^t. He can fight doe.

Jab 8 outta 10
Everything Else -1 outta 10

I gave him a C-. He actually showed improvement and he does a pretty decent job of controlling distance which is huge, especially for him. The Fury fight to me was him fighting angry and then it became frustration and he looked awful but Fury does that to everyone.

The bold is true & something not many HW's are all that great at in my estimation so I'd agree that is pretty huge.

In general HW's can't box for sh^t. Obviously there are plenty of examples of outliers to the contrary, but compared to every other division its the only division where you can become a top ten guy off of just being able to fight (vs knowing how to box) &/or just having power without much else going your way.

He's pretty poor in tearm of boxing skills. He relays on power and speed.

I don't think he's great tbh. But if he had legit 0 skills then someone would just steamroll at him from the first bell and take him out.

You don't get to be 40-0-1 with 39 KO's without something going your way.

You need to make this a public poll so we can see who gave him an A.

Of course, he really should be 39-1-1 right now.

I gave him a D and that's being very, very generous.

Punching is a skill. When a man knocks you out, it means his skills are superior to yours. Only Fury can rightfully claim to be on Deontay's level. Until proven otherwise, Deontay is in the top 2 of his class. He is among the highest skilled heavyweights in boxing today.

Skills pay the bills

Oh wait....wrong fighter

I thought I originally had it as a public poll.
