I've never seen him in person but he looks real enough on tv to me.

"Boxing is bent" revelation :lol:

Agree Wilder is absolutely terrible, so bad that it is indeed impossible to believe he could be a World Champion on merit.

Then it's really embarrassing when legitimate fighters get koed by the Bomb Squad.

True, Wilder is NOT the worst HW champ in history. Pretty horrible, but not the worst.

That's the point of the OP, what if they're getting paid off to continue the Wilder cash cow circus.

Wilder is not very good but he does have KO power, in addition he has been managed extremely well. He is a cash cow and will be protected until it is deemed time to feed him to one of the other champs in a unification bout. I don't see him beating either Joshua or Parker but I don't see him being cashed out anytime soon; it had been a long time since America had a Heavyweight champion and he is too valuable a commodity.

Protected: yes / Hoax: no

He's had the most disgraceful title reign I've ever seen.

He certainly rates higher than Povetkin. Now that guy is a joke.

Nope he doens't, that's straight away the reason why Wilder and his team do everything they can to avoid a fight with Povetkin.

Wilder is not a hoax. Wilder is not great and if he is, he certainly hasn't proven that yet.

There is a tremendous amount of room between hoax and great. Wilder is an excellent puncher and still undefeated and its not Deontay's fault that Povetkin is a drug addict.

I think Wilder would beat everyone but Wlad and Joshua, possibly Ortiz, so that's pretty good in my book.

Deontay 'Damon McCreary' Wilder certainly doesnt shy away from soft touches

He was mandated into the Povetkin fight, and when that fell through it was right back to crap like shot Arreola (short notice fight), Wawrzyk, and Washington. Nine years of weak fights cant be blamed on one bout not happening

Very fitting that theres Bellew-Wilder talk already...

Cannot disagree, with the possible exception of Washington. While he is no world beater, I do think that he can be competitive at the gatekeeper level.

He can be competitive at the lucky to draw with Mansour level. Nagy Aguilera also gave him hell.

Perhaps Wilder can eventually measure up to a run like Cedric Boswell, wawrzyk & shot Rahman.

Id say unbeaten Chambers, Huck, and Chagaev were better than Stiverne and co (since this always comes down to Wilder vs Povetkin for some people)

Hell, was Boswell any worse than Szpilka, Duhaupas, or Molina?
