    Ok fair enough, he has less than 40 amateur fights. But then why all the hype around him from his fans? FWIW, I’m not impressed with Fury or AJ either, so this isn’t about that.

          Its simple.

          Wilder basically jumped into boxing at a late age, went to the olympics, and now is Top 3 Heavyweight.
          With no real boxing skills.

          He a underdog. People always bring up his bad boxing skills but thats why he deserves respect. He got this far with those same bad boxing skills.

          So its like how long are dudes gonna talk shyt about his bad boxing skills when he continue to accomplish so much in this sport surrounded by guys who start boxing when the came out the womb

                When you consider how good a fighter is and how poor his opponents are it has to be Tank. He is a great fighter with unreal punching power. He has a good chance to beat almost anybody at 130 and 135 but he fights such lousy opponents. Now he will fight washed up Gamboa for a vacant title when Gamboa should not be a guy fighting for a vacant title. Somebody in power must have pulled some strings to make this joke title fight happen.

                    any super or light - main weight titlist or titleholder are generally protected/afraid of fighting for the genuine titles (WBC Feather, Light, Middle, Light Heavy, Cruiser) belts. your weaker guys hold the bull**** belts, and fight at the bull**** weights.

                      Jaime Mungia and Gennady Golovkin. He wouldn't step up and fight Ward or anyone at 168. They are also protecting him from Andrade, Saunders and the Charlos.
