Deontay Wilder has a long way to go and I see no way he is ready before Vitali goes, but he may be able to catch a fight with Wlad on his way out. I like Wilder, he's a big, strong, athletic guy who seems to be in shape, but he has to develop some "craft", if he can he could be a force in the division.
He looks promising. He seems to need a bit more fine tuning but, crucially, he needs to pack some muscle on. He's a heavyweight Tommy Hearns, physique wise, so he needs to grow. Looking at his weights, they do seem to be steadily getting higher so as long as he isn't putting fat on, that's good. It'd probably help his punch resistance too. Still, he's 15-0 with 15 knockouts, so he's doing something right. Hopefully he can keep it going when he steps up.
Jack it is you who will think this as it go's down into your minds records this is your way of not giving them the full credit they deserve beating good fighters...these Klits bros could have slaped the **** out of any fighters from any era..just deal with it they are some of the baddesy MF that have ever walked the planet...FACE IT!! or go get some counceling for you denial:yep don't think you speak for the world cuz you don't not even close...
Forget them. They existed in the era when the HW division was decent. They didn't dare show their faces until the division faded. Even then they were getting handled. Now, when all the talent is gone, they are playing this "fight anyone" BS? No. We know where they stand by their records in their prime.
Ha. :rofl Except for Lennox Lewis, Chris Byrd, Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster and Ross Purity it seems. And those guys were in The Klits' own era. Ho hum.
Sorry to say Jack, Wilder doesn't have "it". His body control is off and he isn't particularly solidly built for his size. 90's, 80's, 70's, 60's, etc... He would be easy work in almost any HW. Sadly he is a GABH.
Once again you act like you speak for the world but this is your narrow views.. and lack of giving them the full credit they deserve... you remind me of Spock from the star trek trying to logically to fig out boxing:nono
Their fight numbers and the fact that HW Boxing isn't the center of the Boxing universe tells you all you need to know. :deal
Go back to your hood..almost all great fighters have lost at one time or another ... but you use what you can ... you don't here me or any others saying Lewis was not great just cuz he got his brains scambled by little ol Rahman... you just can't handle the Klits killing your bros can you:yep
I think if the Klits were American or British the heavyweight division would be a tad more interesting to many others... maybe?
May be for you cuz you stupid but is only that way in the US and why?cuz they aint brothers thats why ..if they were they would be gods and you know it.:deal
Actually all I "here" from you on this site is a load of old **** about how much you dislike Lewis. As a Klitschko fan, it's in almost every post you make. And "my bros"????? In "the hood"???? Lol. Do you think Im some sort of gangbanger? If my bros are the likes of Sam Peter, Solis and Albert Sosnowski, trust me, I don't give a ****.
Knowing Americans? We can't tell the difference between British, European, and/or West Asia. If the guys were exciting and fighting exciting guys? They would be known. Hatton, Lewis, Hamed, etc... were known and loved. At the end of the day you are prize fighting for prizes. Why would any fighter not fight in Vegas? They don't because they can't.
I don't care what color they are. I am a Froch, Martinez (for now), Pirog, etc... fan. I like good fighters. The problem with the Klits is that they existed in the Tyson/Holyfield/Lewis era. They stayed away. When they reached for greatness even as those guys faded? They were beaten. BADLY. Now those guys are gone they are dominating. Sorry. It doesn't carry the same weight.
