C. And that's due to his power and fast hands, if they were not as good as they are nobody would even know who he is. The rest of his abilities are pure dog chit, he literally gets out boxed by everybody he faces and that includes alot of the club fighters he faced mort of his career.Comment

Would probably say A- but if pushed I'd give him an A. His power/height would be a factor vs any HW all-time. Will be interesting to see what he looks like post-Fury 2 though.Comment

Good post.....It's hard to grade Wilder, as because of his immense one punch power (best of all time imo) his belief, athletes, and speed, he has really y attributes, despite being technically quite poor. Some say Ali is the best ever, I disagree, but Wilder could easily on his day KO a prime Ali, so he is an elite HW, just in a very unconventional way.
it's different having huge power at HW's compared to other weights, as the lower the weight, you can ride out the storm of a massive shot, but at HW, it's often night over.
For example, if Mosley vs may weather was a HW fight, and Mosley landed that bomb that Mayweather rode out, he may not have had the chance to do that at HW.Comment

C+. No great boxing skills. Tremendous power. Should not have lost the way he did to Fury. And, off-record, should've cold****ed Zelenoff.Comment
