Comments Thread For: Wilder Isn't a Particularly Good Boxer But He's Good Enough

[Ivansmamma]

Wilder is enjoyable and i like him even tough i think Fury proved his superiority in their fight. Both Fury and Wilder are entertaining guys.
Joshua has more skill then Wilder and more power then Fury but he dosent bring the same entertainment value. I think he tries to hard to portray himself as the good guy.
Just like wladimir except it felt more genuine from wladimir.

Man this article must have really angered the Hearn zombies....”brains.....brains....”

Why exactly?

"He must be doing something right. As former Wilder opponent Gerald Washington told me, “You can’t argue with his resume.”

Is that a joke?

I consider myself a boxing purist. So I’ll always enjoy watching a technical genius over a guy like Wilder. But at the end of the day, you can’t deny results. So if a guy is technically flawed and still manages to make it to the top of his division, you still have to salute him.

If Beyonce was a bad as they say he would have had a 4 or 5 losses and would have been exposed 5 years ago. Ortiz is the only one who had him, and look what happened! If nobody has beat him, and no one has dominated and pounded him then it's speaks for itself. He's unscathed in all his fights. He's a million times below Ali but Ali took more punishment than him. All he has is the right bomb and a pretty good jab, but would you want to get inside and get nailed by a crazy angry lean 6 foot 7 killer??? That IS a good defense while having technically mediocre defense. Joshua and Whyte on paper are better than him and should beat him BUT........
I saw Fury control and win every round against Wladimir Klit does that mean that Klits was exposed and all his previous fights were a joke. Could be? Something to think about I guess

What makes Wilder exciting is not only his huge right hand but his obvious flaws. His crude style prevents him from playing it safe. I'll be there tonight hoping for a few exciting rounds.

Very good read and I couldn’t agree more...BOMBSQUAD!

Wilder is an amazing athlete and you totally made it clear!

I'm not sure ANY top ten guy with power should be as bad as +2500 to stop Wilder. And Breazeale's wildness is exactly what I love about his chances. Both do some wonky ass sh^t. This has the potential to look like a high level toughman fight. And at HW where everyone can KO anyone on any given night I think Wilder could easily come up short tomorrow.

That said I expect Wilder KO3 or some sh^t, but ain't much value in that bet (-300ish iirc, $100 wins $33) & its hard for me to ever bet Wilder as a favorite on principle just cuz of how bad he is technically. When Joshua & Wilder fight doe.......

Breazeale is not wild he is slow and has poor technique while trying to have good technique, actually being wild is better than that because wild is unpredictable (like Wilder) but what Breazeale is not a good boxer and predictable as a Swiss time piece.

I wouldn't touch it for over 25 to 1, and Wilder will be get beat could be by a guy like Kownacki whom I find limited but much superior to Breazeale. Breazeale is a total stiff you never bet on total stiffs in hopes of him catching lightning in a bottle.

Breazeale is not wild he is slow and has poor technique while trying to have good technique, actually being wild is better than that because wild is unpredictable (like Wilder) but what Breazeale is not a good boxer and predictable as a Swiss time piece.

And he could still KO Wilder more than 7% of the time. which is what the odds I bet on are suggesting.

Look man I get its a long shot bet. I'm not saying Wilder is going to or likely to or even probable to lose. I'm just saying I believe that if we could setup these mfers in a computer simulation (like we live in obviously) than Breazeale would KO Wilder more than 7 times outta 100. So that means if we give Breazeale a 100% better chance than the odds are giving him he's still getting KTFO 86 times outta 100.
