    yeah he looks brilliant beating up guys half his size or guys ranked between 100 and 400 after almost 30 fights. "real deals" who are promoted by one of the top 2 promoters in the world normally fight on some kind of ppv undercard when up and coming. yet golden boy hides him somewhere on telemundo cards where no one can see his abysmal competion

    He just fought on Showtime. I think he'll be appearing on more Showtime/HBO/PPV cards soon.

    Hope he will fight Andy Ruiz Jr.

    Wilder will get his first loss then.

    i agree. that is not a very good match-up for him. fat boy has fast hands and is an excellent inside fighter.

    At the moment he just looks like another KO waiting to happen. Yes he's naturally talented but his technique is abysmal. He has no defence and leaves himself wide open for counters. Even Tyson Fury is better technician than Wilder which just goes to show how poor Wilder is.

    Unless he starts improving and improving soon, when he does step up from the jokes he has been fighting so far he will get exposed.

    Has a great record on paper and could be easy to hype as is being shown, however he has fought nobody of note and really needs to make some sort of step up.

    He has power, but no defence and is technically very poor, but those can be improved.

    Both Price & Fury would spank him.

    Wilder is a KO waiting to happen.

    Maybe he doesn't. :conf Since when is having a normal array of synovial cavities a requirement to pass a physical and get licensed to box?

    FFS, Morrison and Mesi split a bill with HIV and brain hemorrhaging respectively!!
