    Then I look forward to seeing him defend his title, against a ranked contender!

    Well you've got to think, if average hitting Douglas could nearly knock Tyson's head off then Wilder's would knock it into bolivion.......

    Good for him. A little blustery bravado never hurt anybody.

    Buster was better than Wilder.

    I think that reporter kinda put him on the spot with that question, it' a good thing deontay has confidence in himself and all and i do think hes the best around currently, but realistically speaking he leaves himself open to get hit too much to beat prime Tyson, I give him a punchers chance and all but Tyson would rip him apart

    This is it. Many have done it including Ali before he was certified. Helps sell matches too and self confidence in boxing is crucial.

    Of course it's enjoyable when a lot of these guys get pumped too :)

    He has nearly a foot on him and imo is a stylistic foil for him. Doesn't necessarily make him better.

    Sure he could beat Tyson. But not Lomo.
