Has Deontay Wilder set a dubious record for heavywieights?

Ah, bless you. That was rasta guy's name.

Wilder is okay really. He is faster, a better mover and probably a harder puncher than Fury. I like Fury by the way.
Wilder is awfully one-dimensional and may have a glass jaw, but at the same time, he is a natural athlete with a bit about him. He is still very much a dark horse.

 

Wilders resume isn't that bad honestly. Stiverne and Scott are both fringe top 10 guys, and both were dominated. Stiverne was shut out, Scott was bombed out.

Harrison and Lyakovich are both decent wins, as is Duhaupas and now Szpilka. Bad resume for a champion but it's actually top 5 in the division I guess.

 

I agree with Mendoza.

Love him or hate him Wilder has set a dubious record for heavy's based on his 3 defenses (2 with 1 upcoming). I don't totally blame him for this however, if anything I blame the powers that be to allow him to have such defenses. I am just agreeing his first 3 defenses have been "dubious" as they have.

I like Wilder as a boxer regardless, the guy is a interesting heavy with fast hands and great height. I am not saying he is the greatest by any stretch, just that I like him as a interesting heavyweight and want to see how far he goes even if he gets blasted out in the future.

 

How about a decrepit, 162 pound Jack O'Brien followed by Tony Ross who had won a single of his previous seven fights, followed by the mighty Al Kaufman.

 

lol, yeah I wasn't taking the word "record" as seriously as you historian types,

 

Vitali wanted no part of Stiverne and chose to give up the belt rather than face him. Povetkin doesn't seem interested in Wilder and perused a fight with bottom feeder Wack instead.

 

good job putting those bad Russians down Dino :good

 

Shut up! Mendoza has given me the Chicken dinner!

 

Come on we know all those Russian fighters like the klitschkos', Furys' etc are no match to the might of the USA...

 

I agree.. Not sure we've seen any real evidence of a glass jaw yet. He's been rocked a few times but then again so has everybody.

 

He does tend to freeze when hit hard though and that can be pretty bad once he get in with some one good..

If Molina was half decent it would have been KO..

 

yeah I have concerns about how he takes a big shot as well,,,

time will tell :bbb

 

I don't think either Johnson or O Brien weighed in for their fight.


Decrepit ? O Brien was 31 years old ,two months older than Johnson.
