Do you feel Deontay Wilder is capable of beating any of these guys?

    Don't know, not sure anybody does, even though you'll probably get a lot if people who will say they do.

    Arreola
    Dimitrenko
    Thompson
    Chagaev

    I think he's def capable of beating these guys. Capable of beating almost all of them, theoretically, but I'd favor him in all of these spare for Arreola.

    That's true, it is kinda early in his career to a hard opinion, but to get this conversation going I'll start.

    I don't think Wilder is capable of beating the K brothers. I feel their level of boxing is too high for him and Wilder has openings and not perfect defense and both K bros have good Defense. (Klitschkos)

    Probably gonna get **** from the Polish fans, but meh. I feel Wilder could beat Adamek. Adamek is quite a bit smaller and open to being hit and I see Wilder being able to land his big right. Adamek is more of a volume puncher especially at HW, and Deontay has that one hit power. Adamek does apply good pressure, but I feel that would work against him making open to walking into Wilder's right. (Wilder)

    Haye is a tricky one. Haye can move and box, but I don't feel Haye would do that. I think he would feel confident in being able to knock him out and would be head hunting early. I think this comes down to who hurts who first. I'll say Haye cause of his speed. (Haye)

    Fury is tough and can take punches, but I think his boxing skills has a lot to be desired. I think Wilder could box him if he utilizes his jab and lateral movement and I think he would because he would be in the ring with a guy considerably bigger than him, so I say he would decision him. (Wilder)

    Solis is good, but I think his conditioning has gone downhill since he has been pro aka the heavyweight disease. I see Wilder being able to pull it off, but Solis could connect cause he does got good D and sit and wait for something to open up, but would say Wilder off the basis of conditioning. (Wilder)

    With Arreola, I think Wilder would lose this one. Arreola is tough and applies very good pressure. I think he would overwhelm him and connect. Of course that is if Chris comes in good condition. (Arreola)

    Deontay I feel would beat Dimitrenko pretty handily. Deontay is the same size approx., but a better version. (Wilder)

    With Pov it is kinda hard. I feel Wilder could lose this one. Pov has decent head movement and possibly could land big on him, but maybe Wilder would land first or decision. (Pov)

    Chambers is a good boxer and did well against Dimitrenko. I think he could win a decision against Wilder, but I think Wilder would win it. (Wilder)

    Thompson is iffy, could win a decision, but I don't think he would. (Wilder)

    I see Wilder beating Chagaev, he has the reach and think he could out box him and maybe knock him out. (Wilder)

    Wilder is a glass jawed can and everyone on that list KOs him except maybe Chagaev who is shot.

    The amount of hype Wilder gets on here is a disgrace. Malik Scott is the best US HW prospect and would annihilate Wilder.

    Honestly no. Maybe thompson because he is old and shot to ****. Arreola/haye/champers would put him in a body bag. Hell even feather fisted adamek would probably 1 punch K.O him.

    Fury would jab his head off and knock him out late.

    It's very hard to tell how he'll go against guys of that quality until he actually starts fighting guys of that quality.

    Impossible to tell based on the bottom of the barrel opposition his team's been scraping up for him since his pro career began. He could maybe, maybe, beat Thompson and Dimitrenko, but at this point in time even chinny little Adamek would take him out.

    The last guy Wilder fought was a fat little rolly polly joke.

    There was nothing wrong with Adamek's chin in his last fight against Travis Walker. He wore some bombs that would have stopped a train and went on to win comfortably.

    I don't think it's possible to gauge Wilder's prospects against any of these men. Maybe once he starts fighting professional boxers instead of homeless people I'll have a better idea.

    W Klit: No way.
    Adamek: Maybe he can rock Adamek with his big right hand. Beyond that Adamek did look bad against tall fighters, but if he's able to pull Wilder into the later rounds, he'll probably win by UD.
    Haye: Not yet.
    Fury: Hard to tell. I'm not convinced, that Fury is a (future) top contender, 'cause he also has his shortfalls. At this time i would nonetheless pick the more experienced fighter (Fury).
    Solis: The cuban is even out of shape a helluva boxer. He would outsmart Wilder the whole day.
    Arreola: Not yet. Arreola is extremely vulnerable to straight hands, but has a big heart and a really good chin. Wilder couldn't resist the pressure for long. He definitely needs more operating experience with 'decent' pressure fighters before stepping in the ring with a good one.
    Dimitrenko: Easy to beat, even for Wilder.
    Povetkin: Well, it's a matter of shape. A well trained Povetkin is too much for Wilder, but Wilder could drop him, if Povetkin would appear out of shape.
    Chambers: I'm still going with Chambers. Smart guy.
    Thompson: Thompson knows his business, don't underestimate him (could go either way)
    Chagaev: Actually a skilled boxer, today's Chagaev is quite simply shot as hell (despite losing rounds against Journeymen). So: Wilder!
