Deontay Wilder RULES

[Chomsky Acolyte]

He's definitely entertaining when he's fighting non-entities or, in the case of Lyakhovic, shot fighters. HIs power can lead to devastating ko's but even casual fans who're attracted to that will inevitably demand a step-up in competition. I actually hesitate to use the word "competition" to describe his opponents thus far because that word usually implies that both sides have a chance of winning.

If Andre Bert spent his whole career fighting the likes of Freddie Hernandez, I'm sure he'd have a similar record to Wilder and an equally impressive knockout reel.

I'm not impressed so far because I like to watch contests between two relatively well-matched fighters rather that see one guy ko hopelessly out-matched opponents.

I'd like to see him fight someone with a pulse next. Even Dominic Guinn would be a big step-up and a move in the right direction.

Guinn is the exact type of opponent he needs. Someone who should go rounds. Good call.

Well, I agree and disagree...... Guinn has a GREAT Chin and it should gauge how truly great Wilder power is, But on the down side.....Guinn simply does not do enough in fights even if he is the better fighter.

That's what makes him a good opponent for Wilder. They're not ready to put him in with someone who has a legitimate chance of beating him but he needs to go rounds and be tested a little.

Guinn should take him later into a fight than he's ever been and he's talented enough to make Wilder uncomfortable, show him a different look and win a few rounds, without ever being in real danger of winning.

This would be a nice stepping stone to the likes of Arreola.
