Why the heavyweight boxing scene is on life support?

Deontay Wilder

Dee...ontay? Is that how its pronounced? He cant be any good with a name like a female R'n'B singer.

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.

He looks very raw your right Lyle. I've been watching him too. I think he needs to be brought on very very slowly though. I feel that if he gets thrown in with anyone in the current top 10 (Povetkin, Arreloa, Chambers, Chagaev etc.) he will come unstuck. But fight the likes of Monte Barrett and that kind of level and he could learn a few things over the next couple of years. I feel in my gut that he doesn't have the natural talent to be very good but I hope I'm wrong.
