Deontay Wilder reminds me of the HW in the movie "The Harder They Fall"

[ruthless rocco]

Holy SHIT Wilder sucks! Did you see that fight?!?

No wonder he's fighting NOBODIES!!!

[Gandalf]

I gave it a miss as it is a waste of time to be watching a so called HW champ handpicking opponents. Wilder is making a career of it, but he is taking the mick now. If you aren't ready to be champ, then give up the belt.

They did not even show it over here.

I wayched it on w*** and Fury would have had a field time with that defence!

You can see hes not used to being punched back!

Deontay Wilder is a fraud. I don't like his bragging and celebrating after beating carefully-chosen journeymen - does he take the boxing fans for fools?

He's been very protected for a long time now, he's age 30 now so it's time for him to sink or swim.

But his management realizes he's not very good, and so will try to keep him away from fighting legit HW contenders like Povetkin.

He beat Stiverne very convincingly. He was a legit contender.

Since then his opposition has regressed, but I do believe he will fight Povetkin.

Then we will see what he is made of.
I think he can beat Povetkin.

Stiverne was sick that night, and wasn't really a top HW anyway (only ever beat Arreola, who has needed shady judges to get past journeymen). Even 40-something Ray Austin, who was called a bum after Klitschko beat a somewhat younger version years before, was dominating Stiverne before the KO.

In a fair fight, Povetkin will beat Wilder easily. However, they will try to get the fight in the USA so they can use a crooked ref (Jack Reiss or Lawrence Cole) or a nationalistic American ref (Steve Smoger) and there will be shady judges to help Wilder if it goes to the cards.
