Deontay Wilder under Emanuel Steward

So you say wilder would loose against you ?

Seriously : there are many many amateurs in boxing clubs around the world , not so many who rise to olympic boxers representing their country and worldwide just a few who go thru the professional hw division to a world title and defend the belt several times .

Any argue that wilder 'lacks fundamental boxing skills' or 'has a poor resume' - is a bit funny and not worth any debate ...

 

What if Andy had grown up with tutelage of Cus Damato?

 

Wilder has a poor record as he has fought mainly poor opponents. My opinion, probably many would agree.
He has a powerful right hand, heart & bravery.
What would you suggest are his standout boxing skills ?

 

Favoring only Fury & Usyk over him says more about the lack of talent in the HW division than it does Wilder's ability.

 

To put it generally : his boxing skills , combined with his power were good enough to become wbc world champion between 2015-2020 .

He fought every available oponent which was entitled to be the challanger for a world title fight at that time - also not an amateur boxers i guess .

you can say that for a person like him- standing on top5 of the world ranking - other also top5 boxers have even better skills and he compensates this with sheer power.
Right , but its just his style and it gave him great overall success.

saying that 'he cannot box' so somehow pointing many kirme's boxers outperform him in boxing fundamentals is imho pure nonsense .

 

That's about the same as most hw paths in the Olympics.
also he was involved in other international bouts other than the olympics.
look im not saying hes got s-level skills but to say wilder has no skill at all or no technique is just not true

 

You think like Thomas "Hitman" Hearns? Well, if he started with Steward immediately after his amateur career, such a scenario is not excluded. Although I think technically Wilder would never be like Hearns. But in any case, they would be watching a better boxer, Wilder, than we are watching him today.

 

He never would have had the grab game for it with his poor core strength.

 

No difference. Wilder has no natural talent for the sport. He has athletic talent, but has no feel for boxing.

 

He'd have lasted about half an hour before Steward told him to bugger off because he wasn't listening or before wilder got angry with Steward for telling him what to do

 

And if I'd read the second comment I'd not have wasted my time typing

 

You are obviously a massive Wilder fanboy.
Therefore you will never see any weakness in him, or that he remained champion for so long by knocking out tin cans.
Once he stepped up (Fury) ,his limitations were highlighted.
I admire his heart & bravery, but Fury physically & mentally destroyed him.

 

Did Malik Scott post the Deontay vid on OF yet?

 

If Wilder had come up under Stewards guidance he would have been the Hearns of the heavyweight division. Say what you want but Wilder has a decent beard and with a better boxing skill set and the knowledge he would have gotten with Steward, I think the Fury fights might have been a different story. But for what Wilder has worked with he did amazingly well in his career.

 

In case you missed it, Wilder was deemed untrainable by his former trainer. Steward wouldve walked off from this clown
