question : how good is Deontay Wilder ?

[Dark Lord Al]

Ive seen a few of his fights and he looks very athletic, heavy handed , and seems to be a pretty good all round fighter.
Have any of you guys seen him fight live ?
He won a Bronze but i didnt see him fight in the unpaid ranks.

So come on guys is he the real deal ? 26 - 0 - 26 kos says he could be.
Would he beat Dave Price ? Pickey Fury ?

Opinions please

Kind of difficult to gauge him

He's definitely got power. KOing every opponent you've faced is still a big indicator of power, even if the opponents weren't exactly high leveled.

Problem with him is that he's moving along to slow ... but he definitely has one thing going for him and that is power.

I saw him live on the maidana alexander undercard he was fighing some can...I think he gets exposed on the b level

I think he is appalling. He is knocking everyone out because he is fighting rubbish opponents. If you fight Kid Thunder 25 times, you are likely to be unbeaten after 25 fights.

Al he's terrible the state of American HW, what's happened,! a poor bunch hell I've not seen a good
one in years.!

His power is very good, even though he's fighting below par fighters.

The exciting thing is that some of the time when you fight below par fighters you come across a tough journeyman that's hard to stop, (Glen Johnson's role now) so in his 26(26) wins, someone must have had a chin.

It means that although he may not have the defences of a Wladimir K or the thought process/tactical approach of a Lennox Lewis, he can change a fight with one punch and has a chance against anyone.

26(26)-0-0 and he's 27, he should be more in the spotlight, and you'd imagine if he was "that good" he'd have done more.

Another Alex Stewart ?

I had a read up on him and he did well in the amatuers with not a lot of fights, I've only seen him fight once last night and it was a decent KO. We will see if he can carry the power against decent opposition and then rate him then.

[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.
