I think Deontay Wilder is now the top HW in the U.S.

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

Seth Mitchell is the better prospect, he actually steps up his competition and is starting to fight higher ranked guys.

Being unbeaten means nothing when you look at the level of opposition he has faced. He should be unbeaten because he hasn't faced a single live body yet and he still managed to nearly get himself KOed against a nobody bum in Sconiers. Wilder has no Chin. None. There is a reason he is 20+ fights into his career and is still fighting the dregs of the professional Boxing World in strip club-level fights in Alabama and that reason is his Glass Jaw. He is going to be exposed as soon as he's in with a B or even C-level opponent.

His management will eventually have to relent to public opinion and put him in with a live body and when they do he is going to be savagely KOed.

Forget him and watch Bryant Jennings.

I keep saying throw him in with Guinn, because when was the last time Guinn looked dangerous? Also he would last rounds, Wilder needs to go the distance for his own good.

Wilder looked explosive and confident as hell in there against Manswell. But, I had never even heard of Manswell before, none the less his credentials and record indicated he was a decent opponent.

The confidence Wilder showed is very unique in today's heavyweight picture. I like what Lyle is saying with putting him in there with someone like Dominick Guinn next.

May I also suggest Michael Grant as I think that could be a really fun fight for Wilder.

[GaydarbekStraight]

Seth Mitchell, Eddie Chambers, Chris Arreola all accomplished far more than Wilder had, so far.
