can Deontay Wilder establish a decade long reign as champ like Klitschko did?

    He's already been a champ for 3 years now and still undefeated. The only obstacles in his way are Fury & Joshua. Plus the talent in the heavyweight division is usually pretty weak. He could pull it off. He has Haymon & WBC backing him up also.
    Don't you think?

    I think he can. It's already going to be 4 years come January. I can see him reigning as HW Champ for a decade and retiring as TBE, as long he avoids the Nichols rematch.

    No. Someone who relies on his athleticism to knock people out in order to win will not reign into their forties.

    He doesn't have fundamental skills needed to be successful as an aging fighter. He's got great power and right now his reflexes are decent but if he slows down a little, he's going to get stopped.

    If he keeps fighting cripples, sure, why not.

    Even if he keeps going against all tomato cans like heretofore one of those bums will get lucky and spark him out. He's not talented enough to go ten years like Wlad, even with cherry picking.

    His best win is a 52 year old heart patient.

    I think AJ KOs him so no. But even discounting that, Wilder's a fighter based on athleticism and not much more, if or when rather that starts waning, he won't be able to adapt.

    Also, he's had some close calls already, I think sooner or later he's losing against someone even if on paper he shouldn't be.

    The only way I see it happening is if the division is beyond dog**** for the next 6 years.

    ^^^^ Look at This dumbass. Lol :lol:

    What does having a brother have to do with 18 straight title defenses in a 10 year reign against way better opposition than your boy has had?? Maybe Vitali helped him with his training but wasn’t in the ring with him during his domination of Haye, Brewster, Chagaev, Povetkin, Ibragimov etc. And Deontae has a brother who is a real badass I thought... :thinking: The one talking a bunch of **** to Bellew months back. He can help him out right?!

    With Usyk and Gassiev coming up from cruiser weight and the prospects on the horizon, Wilders days are numbered. Fury just might outbox Wilder.

    Don’t think you should have used Brewster in your argument to be honest.

    How do you keep getting yourself booted so often Herol???

    Explain that when you get back from the penalty box.

    Until then I hope you take a long look at yourself in the mirror before you come back Herol, without wanking!!!! You naughty naughty member you!!!
