    We saw what happened wiith Hamed and Tyson when they took a fight lightly with not much training

    Barrera made Hamed look like a dishwasher and Buster dropped Tyson like a bag of cement.

    Hamed didn't train for barrera who is one of the greatest fighters of his weight class and era and still made it all 12 rounds. Hameds athleticism reflexes and power were all natural. Tyson was on drugs and having orgies before fighting buster. Losing once didnt wipe out what they were doing to fighters beforehand. The fact you compaed barrera to any of wilders opponents show how dumbfounded you are; If wilder ever had the stones to fight someone like barrera let alone whilst not training he would get whooped. Tyson would absoloutely murder wilder.

      Zab Judah also had massive amounts of natural talent, just very little focus.

        James Toney would be an example of a naturally talented boxer. He basically didn't train just sparred and that was enough for him.

        Wilder is actually a very untalented boxer. Which is why he's done well to get this far with what is essentially one asset, a massive right hand bomb.

          He won his first world title while he was still in high school!!!

            For absolutely pure natural talent, Roy Jones Jr would have to be up there. There wasn't a boxing gift he didn't have.

              No, that's Corrie Sanders. He never trained and had a pudgy, dad -like body, he only competed in boxing half time, the other half he was playing golf professionally, and he still was a beastly fighter with lethal power, fast af hands and counterpunching ability that managed to ice a prime Wladimir Klitschko.

                When it comes to battering fat lads then Wilder is atg

                Just wait until he fights Fury again or AJ

                Wilder will fold like a lawn chair

                    No, that would be Roy Jones Jr. Wilder is very quick and explosive for a HW but there are plenty of guys throughout boxing history who were more naturally talented.

                      Calzaghe battered the lad near his prime so did Tarver

                      Roy was athletic not a good boxer
