It's not as if being undefeated is winning him high praise from anyone in the first place. Fight Jennings who just beat the crap out of Liakovich, now that would be a really good fight to see happen.
Agreed. He's whistling through the graveyard before he actually takes a live body, literally, and runs a huge risk growing stale in false confidence going into a big fight. Scott, Jennings, Price, Mitchell have all stepped in reasonably deep and Mitchell has even "rebounded" though in extremely ugly fashion. I put Scott and Jennings much higher than Wilder.
