He's very raw, but he's 15 (15 KO)-0-0, he's 6'7 has recently weighed around the 220 mark(imagine that a heavyweight that could stand to add a few pounds) and has a wingspan of 84" and he's being trained by Mark Breland (last I heard). He's young (25) and hasn't fought anyone of note yet, but I think he'll start getting tested this year. Like I said, he's a prospect.
Wilder has been worked very very slow indeed if this is his kinda opposition.

That slob he fought is 4-4 and all fights have ended by stoppage. He has fought as high as 421. Holy shite. :o

Precisely! That's why all the arguments about why the division isn't any worse off today than it was in the past, fall on deaf ears.

But not during the Golden Age of the '70's! :o
Or the other unoffical golden age of the 90s.;)
