The only one that had not done more by this point in their career is Tony Thompson, not only is that debatable, but he also doesn't have the pull in marketing the Wilder has available.

Other than Tyson Fury, Tony Thompson, and perhaps Steve Cunningham all those guys had extensive amateur boxing records.

You say he will "die on the vine" but you don't want to ask a bunch of questions of the fighter all at once because that is how you lose confidence, create doubt, and shatter a fighter. He needs more rounds, he needs better opponents, he needs to fight dangerous fighters and slick boxers...but also with the shape the division is in right now it's hard to find guys who fit the bill to ask a bunch of questions of Wilder. Who is a slick boxer who has the chin to last with Wilder? Who's a big puncher that will test Wilder? Who will work Wilder hard over 10 rounds and tell us how much stamina he has?

I think a guy like Ruslan Chagaev should be on the list SOON, but not right yet.
I don't really care if he goes 10 rounds against a slick boxer, I want to know if there is anything there besides a big punch.
Can he take a decent punch? What does he do when things aren't going his way? Is he just awkward or truely green and crude?
No more BS, show us something, 27 fights is enough, shit or get off the pot.
Make us proud or disappoint us, but make some noise in the heavyweight division.
