Deontay Wilder is asked a question many here have argued endlessly.

    Why wouldn't you be? He just said what many of us have been saying all along. And it's coming from a contemporary HW champ. Of course it speaks volumes to me.

    Which Cunningham and Wilder fights have you watched? What have you seen in Cunningham that makes you think he could take Wilder?

    The media, the public, and the rest of the boxing world would skewer Wilder for fighting Cunningham. Cunningham has lost against lesser heavyweights (and cruiserweights!!) than Wilder. Would be a ludicrous matchup and I am shocked that you are seriously proposing it.

    people enjoy ****ting on deontay for not being perfect.

    the only footage i've seen where wilder looked genuinely troubled was him sparring haye.

    wilder v uss = ko5 imo, i like steve, but that aint a fight for him.

    What's his point of reference?

    Nichols and that French guy as the big targets and Stiverne and Molina as the small guys who hit hard?

    Exactly. In his defense, this was a short, off the cuff response in an Internet forum q&a. Not sure he even had a real world frame of reference.

    Probably just his experience in general. He's probably fought and sparred hundreds of different boxers. You tend to notice patterns with that breadth of experience.

    What makes his point poignant, is the fact that he answered it differently than the way the question was asked.

    The smaller guys are always quicker.

    The irony of it is that the small guys didn't even reach the big stage against him.

    The problem is that HE finds it hardest, HE as an awkward, often bumbling and uncoordinated heavy with poor footwork.

    And who are the good heavyweights he fought, small or large? Are there any? Didn't he get sparked out sparring Waldo? Haye certainly rocked him.

    These are all good points. Having said that, he's still a modern day champ. His word isn't absolute, but it does hold a fair amount of respect and credibility, and he seemed to be speaking from a genuine place, with absolutely no agenda.
