Is Deontay Wilder an embarrassment to the HW division?

Not the most skill, but decent chin, great conditioning, and a murderous punch.
Both men can lose large portions of a fight, yet still be close on the cards because of KDs.
Both men can end a fight they are losing spectacularly, and often did/have.

It's a testimony to his chin and his power that he got up and was able to win those fights he was getting housed in, but let's not act like he was this technical wizard. He wasn't.

Marciano always took the fight to his opponent. He didn’t stand around waiting for a gift chin for Christmas.
That’s because he had more skills.

Originally posted by Ogecca MaMa View Postexactly. he was going for a W, struggling, earning his legacy. so far Deonaty fought who? Fury and Ortiz? 2 legit opponents, and Ortiz being close to 40 y.o or so. Wilder is good, but let him first fight someone. or else he might have 70-0 and he wont be remembered as Rocky.
And I think those two on Wilder's resume trump any two on AJ's.
That's why they are folks starting to call AJ the 3rd or 4th best heavyweight.
Others are going out and testing themselves against the best.
Ortiz is still highly regarded (and avoided) despite the loss, for example.

The casuals have spoken. He's not special, and against Fury it was confirmed.
He loses to Fury in the rematch and he loses to Joshua.
He'll be forgotten as he's not much to remember. Above average fighter, only because of his power.
