I still have no idea how good Wilder is???

Post by danconnollyeire »

He swung wide cuffing punches like an amatuer, but it did the job. A minute fight again proves nothing and in all his pro/am fights he's never fought past 15 minutes. They were talking up a Klit bro after, that woulkd be ridiculous

Its obvious he has a bit of power and he certainly looks the part! However, Harrison was down and those big swinging crazy punches he was throwing were pub brawl standard.

Seemed like he meant business though for sure.

Until he's taken the distance, or forced to dig deep I don't think any of us know exactly how good he is.
I thought Audley might cause him a few problems but the 70 second mauling didn't really prove anything.

I would like to see him up his opposition and a fight with Tyson Fury would be mouthwatering.

Has he ever been hit in his 28 fights? Until he takes a decent dig, we will not know too much about him, apart from the fact that he is obviously an awesome athlete.

As much as I love my missus, if I came home and found him in the sack with my missus, I`d run for my life (and perhaps stop by a good plastic surgeon for some additional girth work)

Whoever he hits clean is in trouble, but how would he cope with a mauling big heavy who can take a good shot and rough him up on the inside.

I reckon a rematch with Audley could be a good idea, as Big A Force has NEVER lost a rematch. think about it, REDEMPTION would be on the cards and BIG A would let his hands go in the rematch.

Been down once or twice actually, which is a HUGE worry and the explanation of his piss poor match making.

i think he is decent. its not his fault he not been hit yet.

i think the level off opposition is really weak but also wilder is better than people may think.

i do think he needs to start facing some top 50 fighters rest of year to get some experience

fighters like Kevin Johnson, Leif Larsen, Monte Barret, Tor hamer and amir mansour

would james toney give him rounds, he would not test wilders chin but toney is difficult to hit.

i have just thought, Chisora would be a good fight for wilder, decent chin and can bang a bit himself, perfect. plus....del boy likes a pay day. id like to see wilder on these shores again, seems like a decent chap.

Bomb Squaaaaaaaaaaad!! ...... :TU:

Just a gut feeling, I think he's bang average.

However can clearly what so may do quite well.

I know this has been said before but the Heavyweight scene really is a disappointment.

why do you feel its a dissapointment may i ask.
because lack of quality fighters
or top contenders fighting bums and avoiding klitschkos until they retire.

personally its klitschko 1-2
than a big big gap
followed by Pulev, Povetkin, Fury and Helenius. once these scalps are taken, then klitsckos can retire

Chisora would be a good yardstick & could hate crash if he causes an upset.

If wilder was extremely dangerous surely wlad wouldn't of hired him too long?

Possibly considered a backward step, but Sprott might give him some rounds at least.

He looks extremely raw for someone who has had 28 fights but he obviously carrys good power. A fight with Fury would be a good one as neither fighter is a good boxer in my view and it may well be a case of who lands first. You'd have to question whether Fury could take a full shot from Wilder given how heavily he's been dropped by two relative non-punchers in Cunningham and Pajkic.
