Does anyone not WANT Wilder to succeed?

At least Wilder doesn´t use those excessive holding and leaning onto his opponent technigues like Wlad. Wilder is simply knocking his opponents out.

 

Well I WANT Wilder (or any US heavy) to succeed simply to re-ignite US interest in the division. The unfortunate fact is though that neither Wilder nor any of the other US heavies look close to achieving anything. Perhaps after Wlad retires they'll be able to pick up a belt or 2, but until then, it doesn't look promising.

 

If he develops I really would like him to succeed, because a hardhitting American heavyweight is always good for boxing.

But if he doesn't and keeps his current flaws and style it would really be bad if he actually did well with it. That would mean the post Klitschko era would be horrendous.

 

Wilder beats Firtha who was beaten by Tyson Fury a couple of years ago. Fury at that time had about 16 fights. Are we going to get Wilder against Martin Rogan next?

I have a problem believing a five year professional boxer and Olympic medal winner needs this long to fight opposition that will prepare him to fight a top contender. Wilder's team need to take a risk and put him in with better opposition. Other than keeping busy fighting Firtha did nothing for Wilder or boxing fans.

 

Yes I would really like to see more contenders get higher up in the rankings and start to fight eachtoher. It's exactly what the Heavyweight division needs.

 

I don't recall Povetkin being wobbled by a jab... Tye Fields finished Firtha, does that mean fields is any good?


I don't think Wilder is being avoided, I think his handlers are protecting him and for good reason... There are lots of American heavies with a name that would fight Wilder, but his management keeps him away from them. why?

 

I like Wilder from his interviews. He seems quite humble.

Hell of a record thus far, but he has NEVER had a real challenge, so there are serious questions over him.

Hopefully he can improve, but if he cannot he should find his level and stay busy - as he could be in some great non-title fights too, with that punch.

 

I think alot of it has to do with the guy only having 21 amateur fights and not mastering his craft like any normal fighter would. He has flaws, but is protected (Al Haymon), so there is a feeling of another cash cow in the making. He has been fighting a bunch of chumps which further solidifies the point of being protected. The usual outcome of guys like this is a devasting KO, and then gone from the sport forever. You have to master your craft to have a long, good career. And this guy is nowhere near a Bernard Hopkins when it comes to that. I might also add that the heavyweight division is an utter joke which makes any accomplishment from him mean that much less.

 

He needs Floyd Sr to train him I see a lot of things that needs work.

 

Ignoring the unsettling psychopathic invention of facts for you to get angry over, I'd love for Wilder to do well. Anyone who watched Wlad-Povetkin surely would.

 

A lot of people on this forum don't want Wilder to succeed because it would make them wrong. They have invested a lot of their e-cred in his failure.

 

I would want him to succeeed if he could learn some basic boxing skills such as proper balance, footwork, defense, and punch technique. If he makes significant improvement in those areas, then I would change my mind about him. As of now, I think he sucks horribly and will be KOed brutally by any decent fighter he faces.

 

i want him to suceed. not cuz he's black. mainly cause i'm tired of seeing klits dominate.

 

I'd love to see Wilder do well. The more talent in boxing, the merrier. He's ready for a step up to test himself though, continuing at this level does nothing for his development.
