question : how good is Deontay Wilder ?

[jon09]

We won't really know until he fights somebody that will fight back and is able to drag him into deeper water. I think a Mariusz Wach or Kevin Johnson would be a decent test for him.

[Tam Seddon]

What about Seth Mitchell? I've read he's fighting Banks again, but I think a fight with wilder would be a good one.

[Freedom]

Although he's really not all that athletic or coordinated, he still has a lot of potential.

Deontay has a very long reach and tremendous one-punch KO power, and that's going to help him in the future. He's about equal to David Price.

I think Tyson Fury is technically better than either Price of Wilder, but Fury lacks that one-punch KO power that will help Wilder and Price in the future.

[Rantcatrat]

Price would wreck him. Has power, but he's fighting puddings.

^So is Price.

Tony Thompson is a much bigger step up than Price was for Wilder.

[ono]

Maybe so, but Harrison and Skelton have both fought for world titles at least. I actually think Seth Mitchell is the better of the American prospects despite losing to Banks. Van Wilder has more chance of being a world champion than Deontay does.
