Deontay Wilder could be George Foreman or he could be Michael Grant....it's hard to tell right now who he's more like because the competition hasn't been there. That said I believe that the fighter who throws the more compact and direct punches is the one that will win a fight. AJ ain't perfect but he's got good form and he's got good pop...he needs to avoid a few more punches in the future though. Wilder is exactly like his name he's wild, he throws windmills and it's hard to know just how much he has on those punches and it's not a mystery as to why he's always hurting himself throwing those bombs because the form is all off.


Wilder has a lot more to work on than AJ, I think if AJ works on doing a bit more stick and move he'll be good. The less he relies on his own punching power the better for him in the long run guys like Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko should be who he is looking to copy and not guys like Riddick Bowe who always gave up his height and reach advantages. Wilder given his frame and size, SHOULD be working on those attributes as well....Larry Holmes, Tommy Hearns, are good guys for him to watch and attempt to mimic but someone like Paul Williams (which is kind of how he fights right now) would be someone he could copy who is fun to watch but could shorten his career tremendously.
