    He will get laid out by a left hook. Mark my words.

    The quality of his opponents - for this stage in his career - is dreadful. To me that suggests he lacks self belief, or his management have no belief in him, so they are milking the cash cow before it steps up, get's knocked out, and thus becomes tainted.

    This is what's going to happen if he ever faces Andy Ruiz Jr.

    Lots of power but sloppy technique and no chin. Its pretty obvious why his promoters consistently match him with triple bypass patients and geriatric middleweights abducted from KFC

    Jennings is much better

    And Wilder isn't even on national television.
    Eric Butterbean Esch probably has more fights than any hw world champion ever on national television.
    He was also beating bums but unlike Wilder they weren't scared to put him in the spotlights.

    Butterbean could atleast take a punch.

    Maybe Butterbean should have one last fight against Wilder.
    He might be 46 but he should show us once again who the king of 4 rounders is.

    He's technically a lot better than he was starting out. Very fluid athlete with a right hand blessed from Allah. Price was pretty decently ranked. Top 10 or so in the US when Wilder fought him. Price has a win over Tor Hamer who is currently rated #15 in the US. Decent D+ competition. He should take another fight at this level, and then a step to C level guys this year. He's coming along very nicely though.

    Exactly. There is a REASON Wilder is matched with stiff after stiff nearly five years into his career. He has a GLASS JAW, and his handlers know it. :yep

    Hell, even some of the cab drivers they put him in with have put him on ***** street!!!

    Yep. Those on here that have been watching Boxing as long as you and I have know how important a Chin is especially in the Heavyweight Division.

    Glass Jaws exist. Wilder has one. Only a matter of time with him. Just like what happened to Seth Mitchell as soon as Wilder is put in there with a fighter with a pulse it is Shattered Glass.

    Imagine if prime Butterbean came back and faced Wilder.
    They would have cherrypicked the wrong mother****er

    Probably, Wilder has no defence and no chin.
    Butter got pretty fast hands and his overhand has about 100-200 lbs more weight behind it than Wilder his one.

    agreed with this. I doubt he'll rule the divison but that right hand lands on anyone and it's game over so there's a chance he can grab a title at some point. He needs to work on his D and step up the opposition so he can get the chance to work on it but now that he's a showtime guy and had an impressive KO on air they'll have him on more which means more dudes will be more willing to fight him as his name is bigger and he has showtime money and big stage fights to offer opponents. He used to be too high risk-low reward cause he had no hype, no money to offer and a big risk of hurting you but now that he's been on showtime that all changes. Kelvin Price was a legit step up and he can only go further up from there now or he won't get back on showtime...... by the end of 2013 he'll be fighting a top 20 HW and we'll see where he's really at, if he's succesful he'll be heading his way to a title shot in 2014. Personally I think he'll be a top 10 HW and may grab a title at some point cause he's very fast and very powerful so there's always the chance he'll KO you no matter who you are.
