Thread: Is Deontay Wilder the real deal?

So far he has looked very good with real KO power. The HW division is so weak. I think he can't miss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxJ8uOyII58

we will see after next fight. if he can KO the winner of arreola/stiverne then i will say that he should be next in line to fight wlad.

He needs experience to go with that power and the sooner the better. At this stage of the game he should be accumulating rounds of experience just in case he is overextended so he doesn't have to throw desperation punches to play catch up.

he needs to be dragged into the trenches , if he can come through a fight like that then maybe he is for real.

It's funny, if things keep going like this, we'll never know what he can do. He could become champion and retire and we could still be wondering how good he is.
Everyone is sure the next fight will be meaningful in one way or another but all we learn is what we already know, he hits like a mule kicks, now apparently with both hands.
LOL I'm starting to get pissed at him because he's too good which makes for boring fights.
Rigondeaux and Wilder they are so good it's boring. You know how the fight is going to unfold before it starts.
Now Arreola or Stiverne are supposed to be the big eye openers for us, what if he KOs the one of them.
Larry Merchant wanted to know, speaking about MMA fighters, how a fighter with a 6-2 record could be called a champion. Well, we might be wondering how a fighter with a 33-0 (33 KO) record can be called a champion when he has never taken a significant punch in the pros.

He's the greatest heavyweight of all time. What other HW can you think of that could knock a man out for the 10 count with a punch that didn't land?

5 1/2 yrs, 31 fights, basically a four round fighter and we're still asking the same question. I tend to believe no.

Yes there has to be a reason he still hasn't been in a real fight.

Can't argue, at all.

It's not Wilder's fault that nobody so far can last a few rounds with him. His opposition is steadly getting tougher yet they are going the same way as the rest. He clearly has sicko power.

If he falls short against the top ranked guys then everyone can say "I told you so" but is there a fighter out there that he doesn't have a chance of sparking (apart from Oliver McCall)?

He's currently the most exciting heavyweight in the world.

We've all seen big punchers in the past. The biggest question does he have the chin or the heart to be champion. In my era, the biggest punchers I've seen were Big cat Williams, Shavers, Foreman. All 3 got they're ass handed to them by the light punching Ali. When Mike Tyson fought Holyfield Everyone picked Tyson to win. I never been a big fan of Tyson even in his prime. Holyfield was a shot fighter at the time losing 2 of his last 4 fights. I thought this would be another easy fight for iron Mike. When the fight came down to heart and will, Tyson folded like a lawn chair. So like everyone else it's wait and see. The problem is there is no Ali or Holyfield to test him. This has to be the weakest era in HW boxing history. So Wilder may be in the right place at the right time.

Best physique in boxing are wlad and deontay.

They both look the part and the body shows that.

The question is how far away from a fight with Wlad is wilder?

Americans would love to get the belt back and wilder could very well be on top for a long long time..

After wlad retires and deontay retires perhaps we might see david haye again..

Can't miss?

He literally misses like 10 haye makers in the space of about 4 secs in the very video you just posted.

When I said can't miss. I mean being HW champion because the division is so weak.

I think Stiverne beats Areolae again and will give Wilder at least a test. Surely he'll at least land one meaningful punch. ( I like others think Scott felt the power and thought fuck this).

Maybe Wilder sparks Stiverne and then sparks Vlad too and we still don't know. Nothing would make me happier.
