Where I disagree, is I don't see any of this so called Wilder hype. His fights haven't been televised to a significant audience, he hasn't been written about in the mainstream press, his purses have been dismal and most of the people on this forum think he is a joke. What kind of hype is that?
Imagining what current LHW champion Kovalev would have done to poor Charlie Z in a similar scenario. :scaredas::scaredas::dead EDIT: Then again, I'm assuming that Wilder didn't fully commit to any of his shots in that fiasco. He even showed up with two left gloves.
An "ok dude" wouldn't have been in jail for beating up an hooker. An "ok dude" wouldn't call out people and then shut up when they reply back. An "ok dude" wouldn't publicly spout **** about Mike Tyson. An "ok dude" wouldn't brag about "how he loves to smash faces and bust lips" An "ok dude" wouldn't act like he was the strongest on the planet after having only faced freaks. All these things Deontay did. Oh, and the cherry on top of the cake, would an "ok dude" spend moneys on a video like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CffV1yeesM
Kovalev would've hit Charlie so hard it would've knocked the schizophrenia out of him. Wilder did commit fully to his punches though. He cracked poor Charlie with his hardest left hook and Charlie took it like a stud. He also tried to sucker punch Charlie when he was on the floor trying to get his breath back (Charlie wasn't in shape for that fight at all, whereas Wilder was in training for a fight and in the best shape of his life). You can see the much bigger and heavier Wilder was clearly throwing with full power. [YT]-ZnKUqsM1dg[/YT] The reason why Wilder was wearing two left gloves is because he's as dumb as a box of frogs. His trainer usually shows him how to differentiate between a left and a right glove but he was away picking up Wilder steroids from their supplier and couldn't make it back to the gym in time.
