Re: How good was Deontay Wilder?
I started the thread because Wilder’s best days are behind him and do not see him become a champion again.
Joe Louis destroyed the majority of his opponents during his reign and did not struggle or get wobbled as Wilder did.
The 10 defences, being champion for just over 5 years which is the 12th longest reign and having a 97% knockout rate is more to do with the lack of depth at the division than how good Wilder is.
I feel he would have got beaten by all on the list except maybe Rocky. Liston breaks him down with his jab and knocks him out.
I do not see him become a champion in the 1970’s or 1990’s.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
