    Seen some highlights, now 31-0-31ko..looks ok , has one hell of a right hand, ok foot work, but as far boxing skills go still avge...has been feasting on bums to work his way up the rankings so far got a decent win in Maliki Scott tho.

    He's a fraud. It's pretty clear that he fights bums because he has a glass jaw and his management wants to protect him by padding his record with no-hopers until it's time to cash out.

    A decent win over Malik Scott? He bought him off...

    The Scott fight was a joke but Wilder has serious power I can see him winning a world title one day.

    Legit one punch power. Maybe the most power at HW currently. Still looks awkward and off balance a lot of the time for me. If someone starts making him miss instead of standing in front and trying to wear them think he will show major holes in his game.

    Having said that I still think he 'could' be champ

    There is no doubt Wilder possessed KO power and plenty of it. We probably won't know how good he really is until he fights someone who can give him a bit back.

    Going to go the same way as David Price, who I would rate above Wilder.
