Deontay Wilder?

[El Kabong]

27 pro fights and still cutting his teeth is still a lot, though.
He's dangerously approaching Cesar Chavez territory.

If he had the success of Chavez as an American heavyweight would people be all that disappointed in him? He's big, he's fun to watch fight, and he's American....that's what people SAY is missing in the division. The people who always see the division as something it never used to be, say that's what's missing.

I'm referring mostly to Junior.
Junior fought bums for the first 40 fights of his career.
So Wilder would still get a little slack..... but not much.

Personally, I'm rooting for Wilder to become that challenger Wlad has never had.

I assumed you were talking about Junior. Wilder won't be ready to really challenge Wlad until Wlad is retired. Wlad did say "Deontay Wilder has the fastest hands I've seen for a heavyweight in sparring" so that has to count for something.
