Wilder is not a ****** man, he's a thinker in the ring.

[WhatDisButtonDo]

1.) Believe it or not. Deontay Wilder is not easy to hit, he reacts to feints well and outside of a him being too greedy you won't really see him getting teed off on. He has good lateral movement when going forward and for the most part is defensively responsible. He also punches off of different looks.


2.) He has extremely fast hands for someone his size, and with such power, and not only that his timing is extremely well. Not only that but he actually makes adjustments in his fights, he doesn't just throw caution to wind unless he believed he has someone hurt. This segways into point 3..

3.) He's damned good at distance managing, and is always challenging and feeling people out with a jab, something. He's typically always in position to punch, and he's pretty good at being a counter puncher as well when he needs to.


4.) Because he has elite stamina/great conditioning, he carries his power throughout the whole fight.


5.) I think it's fair to say he has a toptier chin. Fury is no knockout artist, we know that..but to take solid blows from a man 45+ pounds heavier says a lot.




Not saying the man is Ali but people treating him like he's just some bum is ridiculous.

Yes. AJ and Hearn have been on the run for years.

Wilder is really picking up steam in USA. He has made so many appearances. My non boxing friends are all asking me about him. None have even heard of AJ.

One name knew face one champion.
Then he runs and ducks and announces he'll be going in a different direction. Joshua will easily beat this circus act. Wilder fans all cleaning the come outta their pants after Saturday - they forget his cowardice and lies, and the fact that Joshua will dismantle him easily.

I really don’t understand how anyone thinks a guy who defended his title 8 times In pro hw boxing is ******.. or anything but the real deal.. at this point it’s nothing but hate and god bless y’all he wouldn’t be where he is without it.

I've actually been saying for a while that Wilder has incredibly underrated ring IQ. he adapts, and he sets traps in the ring, he doesn't just flail like people think.

I've been saying Wilder is underrated for a while. He has huge power but also huge speed. Which is deadly.

The problem is when you look at his record. It's not that great. He seems to take a lot of easy fights. Breazeale gets hit loads. That fight was always going to end with a KO. Even Fury was an easy fight, given he had been in retirement for 2 years and had ballooned up. Also why did Wilder never take on Wlad all those years??

I'm really hoping the fact that Wilder KO'd Breazeale in 1rd will give him the confidence to take on better opponents. I put him as top 3 at the moment but on the day he can beat anyone.

All what years? Wlad never gave voluntaries. If you wanted to fight Wlad, you had to become his mandatory. Fury had to become WBA and WBO mandatory before Wlad would get into the ring with him.

Wilder got the green belt, which Wlad never had any interest in having either. Wlad/Joshua would have never happened had Fury not beaten Klit. Wlad had his next opponent lined up after Fury (IBF mandatory Vyacheslav Glazkov)

No, he needed 11 rounds to KO Duhaupas who has a hell of a jaw.

Did you see his fights against Povetkin and Miller? Guy could double as a punching bag

I thought this thread is about Wilder as a "thinker in the ring"... (which he isn't)...
