    I would say No.
    Lennox couldn't drop jorneyman Levi Billups in 10 rounds who was knocked out few times before.

    He proved in his next fights that he's a great puncher.

    One thing obvious to me is that any one of those big shots would have put Wlad on his buttocks.

    He clearly has enough to get the respect of anyone he faces. I can't say it was exposed, as most folks figured he wouldn't just blow out better competition, but he isn't packing pillow hands either. Even the most legendary power punchers don't carry 100% KO ratings.....For stepping up a couple levels, actually fighting past 4 for the first time, pretty much following a gameplan, showing some level of IQ at times, and not being dusted the second he was hit by a legit fighter, you can't really ask for much more from the guy. Yeah there are some holes there, but Wilder deserves some credit for stepping up and getting the job done.

    The only guy that hits harder than Wilder right now is AJ

    Wilders game plan was NOT to ko

    Throwing wild punches against a counter puncher gets you knocked out

    Stiverne proved his chin is top notch, he took bombs

    Wilders game plan and the way he stuck to it impressed

    Stiverne is a step up

    Now it's time for the big leagues with fury and wlad

    Ibeabuchi would have torn Wilder a new one.

    I'd say no

    One fight goes 12, big deal

    He definitely has power, I don't think many guys in the division go 12 with some of the shots being thrown by both guys

    If Wilder continues to get taken 12 then I'd wonder

    Landed 100's of right hands, all he could do was stagger tubby 2 times. His power is a joke. A joruneyman had stiverne on ***** street, mr K.O machine could not even drop him.

    Wilder hit Stiverne cleanly with huge rights a bunch of times... If Wilder has incredible power, then Stiverne is not human...
