    Wilder is another Tye Fields. Until he fights a full time boxer i'm not taking any notice.
    Price on the other hand has had a handful of fights and already sparked John Mcdermott and Sam sexton and is about to spank Audley too. Price isn't setting the world alight but for a relative novice his competition has been fairly decent.

    I would like to see Wilder fight Fury. Both around the same stage of their careers and need to be fighting some live opponents. Fury's beats him imo

    no he wont, but he is a welcome addition to an a potentially exciting division in a couple of years.

    hes big athletic and has goos technique. a division with multiple versions of that would do me just fine.

    as a Brit im rooting hard for him he has the size,power and technique but he's simply not active enough which make me believe he's being protected.His fight with Harrison is a step up though so it will be interesting to see what he does there.

    It's not really. Harrison does not even throw punches half the time, he was ****ing dire in his last fight for most of it, beyond appalling against Haye, shite against Sprott until one bomb right at the end...

    And so on. He went on a brief spell of fights where he looked good that ended with him being KOd by Sprott. In a way that was a shame as he dropped Sprott in the first round and had he stopped him, he would no doubt have maintained that aggressive style and could have been involved in some interesting higher level fights.

    But he is not only gun shy, but lethargic and past it now too. Which means that he will offer nothing in this fight at all. McDermott and Sexton would beat Audley now.

    He looks good and seems to have the potential but he's already thirty years old and only had about a dozen fights at domestic level. I wonder just how far he can go.

    You talk as if McDermott and Sexton are above domestic journeyman level. Weird that.

    Deontay Wilder seems to be pretty good I just have to see him hit to see how the chin is. He may just be another Michael Grant. He has toothpicks for legs. But he does punch fast an hard. Price seems to be good to but again we have not seen him tagged yet. Both of these guys could have a egg chin like Wlad.
