Honest question to Wilder fans

[Lopez_Boxing]

and be honest when answering, because i truly want to know. This isn't a troll thread or anything, i seriously want to know

Do you really consider him to be a skilled fighter, like an actual skilled boxer. Do you consider him an ATG. I have no problems with you guys liking him, but you can't truly say he is a skilled boxer.?

I have never rooted for Wilder in a fight, but man everyone knows what it is with Wilder...he is a great athlete with great power in the right hand...he retains that power late in fights and can end it with one shot.

He does have some other good qualities...good chin, stamina (other than fight 2 vs Fury), heart, toughness...you combine all that with the athleticism and quickness he has and the power in the right hand...and he will often hold on long enough in a fight to land the right hand vs anyone.

All-time...he would have the proverbial puncher's chance vs any other HWs...he would probably catch a couple of them and win...most of the time he would get outboxed and/or stopped...depends on the matchups.

Great question and here's my answer....

If Fury's being considered the best HW in the world right now, then Wilder needs his credit for reigning for 5 years.

Why?

If Wilder's such a "bum" and "hype job" as most have called him, then there's no way Fury can be considered great if he beat a "bum".

We all know Wilder has some work to do, most have said it for years and I won't disagree. I just don't like the hypocrisy.

Fury brought the heat and made his point, so I can't hate on him at all....I just don't like the backhanded compliments he's received for beating a "bum".

He's very skilled at landing his right hand. There's many power punchers who can never land their punches cleanly.

only when fighters are defensive minded against him

as Fury showed, if you fight him agressively he has trouble getting it off
