Deontay wilder?

  1. Anyone know much about this guy?

    6'9 heavyweight, unbeaten Olympic medallist

    He seems to be getting matched very softly but a few yanks swear he's pucka

    What do you think

    Needs a test, but I think he will go far

    They've matched him so softly that it may come back to haunt him. It also could be a master stroke as the Brothers time is coming to end and he may emerge at the right time. He's taking babysteps in opposition but if he's developing in gym and is managed right from here on in he could be successful.

    Do have my concerns though, saw a clip and he was just windmilling hence why i call him Deontay Windmiller.

    He has a seriously ill daughter I think I read and thats slowed down his career.

    Could be that and a combination of Golden Boy not thinkin he could ever beat one of the brothers, so they are keeping him busy until a chance for a belt arises

    Yep good point, just checked record. What's gonna happen when someone offers some form of resistance. So far his record looks like something from a movie, looks outstanding but the level looks dire.

    And people moan about our fighters opposition..

    A fight with Arreola would be a great test for him.

    He badly needs to step it up to at least decent journeyman level.

    Didn't he fight a light heavyweight who had only fought once in the last couple of years the other day?

    and he'd been stopped in 7 of his last 8, how he still has a licence is a mystery as complex as the pyramids.
