    American SHW Greco Roman wrestler. All state linebacker in H.S. with interest from NFL despite not having played at Michigan in college. 6'6 280, athletic and only 22! Also a collegiate All American in Freestyle . Won all his matches by pin at the WC until losing in the final to the Russian who was probably doping anyway.

    Wilder did not start boxing until around the same age and look what he has accomplished and he was never the athlete or physical specimen like this monster.

    All opinions welcomed and appreciated.

    He unifies the belts, but gets knocked out by a returning Vitali Klitschko.

    I see him having real trouble with slick American and Brit boxers or guys with huge power like Joshua and Wilder and that Nigerian guy who fights out of Ronnie Shields gym.

    I agree, hes too much of a plodder to take on the heavyweights which is the most talented weightclass in boxing at the moment.

    Perhaps if he more athletic like Burroughs he could get it done.

    Larry Holmes comes out of retirement to school him and reign again.
