Wilder at least represents that homerun possibility, and like typical homerun sluggers, he either knocks it out of the park, or strikes out swinging.

You can dismiss Wilder's record as nothing but a collection of bums, but I don't see how you can dismiss the power of someone who's yet to see the 5th round of any fight.

If Jennings is the next "big thing", then why aren't we making a fight with Wlad already?
Sorry bud just color me not convinced at all. I'm not ready to call him a home run slugger either. When he is flattening top 10..top 15 heavyweights I'll bite. I look at going the distance as a plus really. Numbers can be run up and misleading as we've all seen far too many times. That same bomb he is hoping for..counting on.. can be just as disastrous to himself when he has yet to slip a counter combination and have someone in front who refuses to feint over and puts him on his heels.

Maybe we should be making it By all accounts Jennings won his title eliminator by beating a top 5 heavyweight by the sanctioning body. Wilder won his eliminator by beating a guy coming off a KO loss..and rated what, 25, 26 th? and with a questionable ending and effort. Its little wonder Scott wore a brown paper bag over his head at the weigh in. I mean really . Who in the world thought that was a good idea Wilder is where he is because fans love glossy shiny things and have had it pushed down our throats, with all respect. More so because he knows and is packaged by a squirrely man by the name of Al Haymon who frankly is jerking his chain around with delays etc. Is his shot actually signed yet? That's one we deserve and I'm itching for it just like you, but beyond relying on a bomb..I honestly don't think Wilder has the full game to climb his way out of a hole when he faces an actual threat.
