You think a 32-year-old who has never cracked the top 25 is going to be the division's champion? Why not Amir Mansour?
Yup I truly believe he will be Heavyweight champion. I've seen what he's done to veterans in sparring and he's faced better competition than Wilder up to this point. Also, if you know his background he's probably the most athletic Heavyweight. I know I'm the minority on the board but I've worked directly with some of the best trainers in the world Tommy Brooks, Pepe Correa, and John Bray to name a few.

because wilder was stopped several times in the amateurs while joshua went the distance and had a close fight against hard punching medzhidov. I heard now for the first time that AJ was stopped against a romanian dude but that was probably the only time and likely when joshua was very young.
of course wilder had a late start and some of those KDs are probably due to inexperience. AJ was just 1 year younger when he started to box but compared to wilder he had the benefit of the london 2012 training program which was funded by a lot of money. AJ was drilled to box correctly from day one because he had great trainers and they wanted to make him an olympic medalist. when he turned pro thus he was a better boxer than DW but his chin did still look more solid in the amateurs.

Wladimir Klitschko, whose significant other is expecting a baby girl soon, says he will be retiring soon. Who is most likely to replace him as the HW champ?
Which of these is most likely to become champ:
Deontay Wilder
Anthony Joshua
Bryant Jennings
Andy Ruiz
Joseph Parker
Vyacheslav Glazkov
Tyson Fury
Luis Ortiz
None of the above. majidov. The world amateur super heavyweight is a Russian George Foreman.

he won't turn pro until at least 2016 (he says he wants to go to the olympics again) when he is 30 years old. will he than still be able to make a splash?
