    OMG that's bad, clearly the guy doesn't know much about boxing, but that's what you get with a guy who uses Amir Khan as an avi.

    Wilder does to somethings well but that guy picked all the wrong things to highlight.

    The bit at 0:27 is lol

    Even that 270lb lump Cojanu was able to get his huge ass out of the way in time of Old Man River Ortiz's big overhand left until he got too cocky with the ease at which he was able to do so and got caught by one.

    He doesn't pass that mandible test, that's for sure. Nichols and Sconiers exposed his shaky whiskers a long time ago.

    No, Wilder most certainly does not pass the eyeball test. He looks lke he's a candidate for being outboxed every fight. What he does have though, is big power and good stamina, and so far, in this crappy division, it's been enough.

    When I saw the eye ball thing i thought it was that thing Bonecrusher Smith used to do at the end of his fights to the tv cameras!!

    No

    but neither does Tyson Fury at first glance.

    Wilder actually has a lot of boxing intangibles. Fury is going to smash him though.

    Fury's gonna bust WIlder's fragile whiskers up. The con game is OVER.

    True which is why I think Wilder is actually underrated to some degree for all the things he does wrong he does just enough right to be better than most in the current division.

    He modelled himself after a wind turbine when he learned how much power he could produce by generating wind with his arms. Every time Wilder fights he does enough to keep the lights on in over 5000 homes across Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
