    Hopefully Wilder will step up in 2012, it's sad to see his talent being wasted on such poor opposition.

    Been a Walker fan for a while i remember when he was still undefeated and going places then he just kept getting stopped but always gave it his all in great fights

    Joe once again you showed why your one of the better posters on this forum, Wilder managment team is killin me. They need to take the training
    wheels off this year and let everyone see how good this kid is, if Wilder
    ever learns to use his jab and height he's gonna to be dangerous

    on one hand i think he needs more time on the other i think he needs to step up

    i will say his foes though still bad are getting better

    he needs not necessarily a guy whose ranked or anything but a guy who will go 5-10 rounds make Wilder develop a gas tank, strategy, tactics

    also a guy who throws back or counters or sets traps, it will sharpen Wilder and improve defense

    i like Wilder so far and he has time on his side

    to improve against better fighters

    its tough to measure how good he is or what he needs cause he doesnt have many rounds or minutes for that matter

    his right hand is superb and thats basically what we know

    Guys like Walker are tailor made for him.

    I think he needs to go in with someone better than that, a fighter who will have a real go maybe a manny quezada? Very beatable but at least hit back

    Or Friday Ahunanya, Damon Reed, or Jason Gavern.....They're all tough journeymen who can extend a fight with their solid beards, excellent recovery skills and no quit attitudes. :deal
