    His right hand is so vicious it's practically evil.

    He can take a hell of a beating, the man has a ton of heart.

    I like it how he could blind you with the jab then lead the straight right hand. Also his heart can't be questioned. Also his distance: he seems to know when or not whether he's in punching range. Also he's not reluctant to go on the offense. He throws his hands often.

    His delusions make for great interviews.

    This is everything I legitimately have to say about the man, with no jokes:

    1. His right hand is highly feared and praised.
    2. He is determined.
    3. He believes in himself.
    4. He shows little fear
    5. He probably has more skill with the jab than he usually utilizes
    6. He is one of the few who had managed to improve his chin
    7. He has gone absolutely as far as he could with his limited skills
    8. He is proud of his race and ancestors, which I admire
    9. He has never been busted for PEDS

    and

    10. Despite the bollocks he usually talks, he VERY OCCASIONALLY is insightful. For example, when he said that people praise Fury for beating drugs, but if he were a drug user they would have nothing but bad things to say.

    I actually found some truth in that, to be honest. And he rarely comes up with these sorts of observations when he is not screaming TO THIS DAY!

    Anyway, that is about is. If I had to fill out the negatives, there would not be enough space in one post to accomodate.

    Only good thing about Wilder is that he is now a scalp on Fury’s resume.

    He hits hard and always shows up in good shape.

    His head movement is also pretty good.

    The fact that he started boxing just to make money for his special needs daughter.I have a lot of respect for him because of that. He’s disciplined, always comes in great shape. Has a lot of heart, speed, power, and is always in some exciting fights. Also definitely one of the most devastating punchers in history

    While I don't want to see him fight fury again, he is one of the most exciting fighter's in the division because of his one punch power and smack talking. I'd happily watch all these fights:

    Wilder vs whyte
    Wilder vs povetkin
    Wilder vs Hrgovic
    Wilder vs Ruiz
    Wilder vs Hughie Fury
    Wilder vs David Price
    Wilder vs Dubois
    Wilder vs Chisora
    Wilder vs Ajagba
    Wilder vs Parker
    Wilder vs Usyk

    There aren't too many oppositions you could throw him in with and not make for a cracking fight. There are also only a select few opposition id tune in to watch fight hughie fury and wilder would be one

    I agree with you, I think as a fighter he is must watch TV. Just as much because of his vulnerabilities

    Ridiculous power
    Amusing in a goofy way
    Can measure distance reasonably well
    Shows patience
    Has shown a lot of heart
    People might spin this differently, but he rematched the two guys who came closest to beating him
    Usually delivers an entertaining end one way or the other
