    You are being sarcastic right? I dont know?

    He is not ready for anybody right now. He should not be fighting anyone that is top 50.

    He is still young in the sport. And I know HBO sure aint interested in showing Deontay Wilder.

    ESPN aint even showing his fight.

    But I like him. I hope he goes 30-0 or 40-0 before he gets a title shot or TV Time :huh;)

    isn't Wilder was sparring with Adamek ?

    After reading an article about him in the Ring magazine i will follow this guy more. Sound like a good guy with the right attitude!

    Yeah he is sparring with Adamek. That is great for him.
    I also think he's got the right attitude and is very humble. Nice good kid.

    Really, when was there a article in The Ring about him?

    His chin is more than questionable and I wasn't impressed by his power. I doubt he'll be any worse than Chambers or Arreola.

    People keep question his chin?

    What about Lennox Lewis chin or Wladimir's??
    I mean those guys chin was/is pretty bad to,.

    Lennox and Wlad have eaten some big shots from top level heavies...he was reportedly staggered badly by a bum.

    I dont like how Wilder is being handled he is fighting total stiffs guys worse than his amatuer opponents

    i know pro and am are different but he was at the top of the ams earning a bronze

    and then he goes to the worst of the pros why dump off so much in opponent levels

    im not asking to rush him in vs Wladimir but seriously he is fighting bums and will develope bad habits or jsut not develope

    you cant improve or learn when your first punch lands and the guy stays down

    he needs journeymen level guys his opponents are not even journeymen level

    he cant learn defense without a punch coming his way, he cant develope stamina without going rounds, he cant learn strategy when the opponents just fall over for him

    His last opponent Damon Reed, wasnt that bad at all. He went the distance with James Toney.
    Wilder KOed him.

    He needs to take that next step up. He dose not need to be fighting the best guys out there right now, but he needs to be fighting high quility 8 rounders, if he going to devlope in to a world class heavyweight. He's 25 years old. I'd have him fight 3-5 eight round bouts, than 3-5 ten round bouts over the next 2-3 years before putting him in with the top heavyweights.

    if you think a 39 year old with 16 losses isnt that bad....then you are without a doubt a glass half full guy rather than glass half empty one :lol:

    Totally agree.

    Of course it is bad, but not as bad as it has been.
