Y'all haven't seen that? I thought everybody's seen that. Haye rocked him a few times, with headgear. Not super badly.

Of course, Zimnoch also knocked Wilder out in the amateurs. But that's not something I'd be inclined to hold against him unless we're talking about his chin.
I can pick 7 seconds of sparring between pretty much any 2 fighters and make it look like he dominated.
This video proves nothing
that video proves haye rocked him in sparring, even if it was very favourably edited. i dont place much significance in it but it shows it happened. of course wilder may have ktfo him but there not gonna show that
the tall guy in the preview shot in the left corner said wilder beat up haye, fwiw

Wilder is dangerous and powerful, I wouldlnt say he's "very good"
I agree because there have been times he has crowded himself when trying to finish an opponent rather taking a half step back or to the side.
Yeah he lacks ring IQ
Which is rather worrying when he could be facing someone who has been not only an Olympic gold medalist, but medalled at the European and World Amateur championships and has boxed in British, Commonwealth and six World title fights against better opposition than what he has faced.
If Joshua can take Wilder's best shot early on he should be able to wear the American down, possibly stop him in round 11 or 12. Wilder has excellent power compared to others in the division. He took some hard shots from Ortiz but I was never really impressed with "King Kong".
