    He seems to be one of the main 'up and coming' HWs in the USA. How does he compare with British based HW prospects such as Tyson Fury and David Price? Even Dereck Chisora.

    He beats them both, skillwise Price is probably a level higher atm

    Wilder hasn't done a ****ing thing yet, while Price & Fury are chugging along nicely.

    I like the look of Wilder, he has the amateur pedigree and obviously can punch. We will not know where he is until he fights somebody though.

    People need to remember that when it comes to prospects, just because u have not proved your a world beater, doesnt mean you wont be.

    I checked out his "background", and it looks real good. Especially compared to some other up and comers, like Leif Larsen for instance.

    He's on their level for sure. FUnny thing is all 3 of these guys have a glass jaws but at least Price and WIlder can punch and have athleticism going for them. Wilders better than Fury and at least even with Price. Price has fought slightly better opposition as of right now though and Fury has fought better than both. In 4 years time I expect WIlder and Price to be the top HW's, Fury will get exposed as the featherfisted, sloppy glass chin pikey he is.

    I would love to know where you get the idea that any of these undefeated PRO fighters have glass jaws from... And don't be using amateur fights as a reference as that is a whole different game
