    Surprisingly I had not heard much about him until I saw his name come up in a recent thread. I looked him up and he seems to be very active and being brought along in a timely manner (not that that's a bad thing). I was curious as to whether anyone could give me some information into his fighting style or just tell me a bit more about him. Anything would be appreciated.

    No defense, little more offense than a stiff Jab and a hard right hand, and an appalling Chin. His management will eventually have to relent to public opinion and put him in with a live body and when they do he is going to be savagely KOed.

    Pretty much a hype job then?

    He's a bum fighting disgraceful opposition. Forget him and watch Bryant Jennings.

    Very very coordinated athlete. Quick feet and hands for a heavyweight. Needs to put on at least 20-30 lbs to be truly effective. He does have a decent variety of punches, though he is a paw with jab- straight right dominant fighter. Looks like he has exceptional power,even though he is blasting out cans. Chin is definitely questionable, but a lot of that may be due to having a weak base. Has a lot to learn and desperately needs to go some rounds to learn.

    He really could be anything in the future, from dominant champ(when the Klitschko's retire) to a journeyman. His opposition is appalling though, and it's very disappointing.

    Complete Hype Job, except for the fact that he's fighting such obscure handpicked opponents that they can't even build any decent hype behind him. Over twenty fights in and he's still fighting fat tubs of lard that they pulled off of barstools in local Alabama honky tonks. He is a disgrace.

    He needs to step in class. Desperately.

    Continental drift is moving along faster than Wilder's progression. 20+ fights and he's still fighting stiffs and now just plain fixed fights. His last fight was a complete disgrace.

    I agree with both of you 100 percent.

    he does need better competition and also he does need to gain atleast 15 lbs to be effective because at 215 i dont think he would cut it against a price or Klitschko.

    Id say he should work with emanuel steward

    I feel like he's been a prospect for 3 or 4 years now. When is he going to fight someone?

    but if he does, he will get stopped

    what do you do in this situation, keep fighting bums or get KO'd the first time you fight someone with a pulse?

    I like him and think he has some potential but he does need to step up.
