Is Deontay Wilder the real deal?

[Spicoli]

It's not Wilder's fault that nobody so far can last a few rounds with him. His opposition is steadly getting tougher yet they are going the same way as the rest. He clearly has sicko power.

If he falls short against the top ranked guys then everyone can say "I told you so" but is there a fighter out there that he doesn't have a chance of sparking (apart from Oliver McCall)?

He's currently the most exciting heavyweight in the world.

I'm just not convinced bud. I think numbers can be a bit deceptive, power is as good as who you are putting in on I think. He is the beneficiary of very calculated and baby steps type match making. Sure, hes doing his job and you gotta respect putting guys away, getting it over with but its nothing that is not expected..you don't ask if he'll win because the match up is deemed tough or real challenging..you ask when and what round vs Scott because its deemed not to be. You don't know what you have until you are challenged..not pre on paper but in the ring and I don't buy at all that they can not get better or no one will face this big mean monster so he's taking whats in front of him. Different interpetations of excitement. He may be the highest visible and easy to see, name to read and promoted as far as American but he has been anointed to the throne without taking, literally, a shot from a serious heavyweight challenger. We love ko's..guys left in heaps is what you think when you think heavyweights, I get it. But predictability and running up a record and seeing a guy exert more energy in his celebration than in the actual fight itself is not excitment or frankly all that entertaining, to me at least. Trust me dude..I'm red, white & blue and would love the title back in the States but right now all I see is a guy waltzing to a title shot like he is driving thru Taco Bell ordering dinner, fast food and pre packaged. Next fight, maybe his next match will be a guy who doesn't read the script and is equally hungry.

I'm not convinced either but this is a wave I/we have to ride! Right?
I want Wilder to be the real deal but I'm prepared for whatever happens.

My pulse went up some with Wilder's last win. If he wins again I might have to ask for stronger MEDS. Haha

No. Deontay is Michael Grant the LITE version.
