... and yet still about Deontay Wilder:

[Hulk]

I wrote a novel breaking this down but I erased it because I don't want to bore people.

Short answer to Deontay is he seems to have alarming power. But history shows sloppy fighters with huge power don't hold up. There's no signs he will correct his technique so they either have to avoid resistance or watch him lose except the occasions he catches the guy. So far they've chosen to avoid resistance.

So he is the new Earnie Shavers.

Shavers wasn't 6'7. I'm hoping the height n reach will continue to serve Wilder well.

We have not seen enough of Wilder to say he uses his height and reach with effect.

Shavers had above average reach... I'd say Wilder is a Hearns waiting to happen. Someone who gets in with a SRL, who takes him deep, absorbs his shots, and then beats him up late- a weakened kitten of a Wilder, late.

I think the height gives him great leverage on his one-two and left hook-right hand.

I also think at the least his size intimidates opponents when combined with his powe and intensity.

Bit of a boring night but thinking of a previous date oriented thread, I ran across this vintage look at "power". Here's a beastly Wilder slipping and or being knocked off balance by a punch to the glove while fighting a 400lb unemployed trucker being payed in chili dogs and Funyans.

Galento was actually world ranked is the difference.

Nichols is ranked 800 in the world

The difference is the fat guy never touched Wilder, he slipped, then beat the guy into submission.

The other difference is this was Wilder's 10th fight.

I would like to see Wilder succeed myself.

Apparently they paid him $400,000 worth and he ate his wages on the way to the ring.

You said Arreola was going to beat Silvestre and then Wilder.

Still believe that?

Really now? I'd be interested in seeing that quote.

Default Re: Arreola vs Stiverne 2 RBR....someone please

"I have no idea. Would like to see Chris get this! Betting the nose gets broken again though.

I do think Wilder is very beatable though, he has shown me very little in the way of complete basics and needed experience and answered questions to say he is the beast he's being made out to be. His vaunted 'power' is overrated and more often a lot of these knockouts see the cannon fodder opponents actually get up or the farce is waved off...see link above. Wilder is all promise with little to no solid proof thus far.
