I dunno dude, I really don't think it is. If a guy goes into a fight with percieved heavy odds what do people say? Oh man he has big balls, gutsy move by him. What a warrior. They don't say that about the promoter or santioning bodies behind the scenes counting the bank. The owness falls to the fighter be it high praise-respect or be it yet another predictable and matter of time steamroll job he faces and says in interviews he is fine with that and he doesn't care. I just don't find what Wilder has shown "exciting" but more clock managment to an end game. We don't ask if or how...we ask when and its not a matter of him proving he is all that tested or well rounded but just doing what we all fully expected going in. Big deal. The line of heavyweights stacking records and fans being allis endless. It's boring.. well maybe next time he'll actually face adversity or take a punch or step up. I have never seen a heavyweight waste so much time or be afforded so much media attention knocking over stunt men who were brought in to do one thing..lose. His celebrations are more exhilarating in some cases than his matches. There is 'fault' to go around but it falls at a fighters feet to me. I honestly find Jennings more "exciting" in that I know he can fight off the ropes, he can get off the canvas and adjust his game and rain in combinations. When Wilder is in a fight, or even takes a clean punch from a pissed off live foe, then I'll sit up straight and pull up a chair. I don't hate the dude just want more and less tap dancing.
