    wilder is the worst heavyweight prospect i have ever seen.
    he also holds the prize as most protected heavyweight prospect ive ever seen.
    if anyone has seen any of his fights, they either dont know **** about boxing, or have some reason to hype him because its not for his skills...he is terrible. Audley Harrison was beating his ass in the gym not long ago and even he said he couldnt believe how easy it was to hit him and read everything he had coming as in punches back. and we are talking about audley ****ing harrison

    Fury would batter him, Price would eat his soul

    Fury and Wilder have paper thin amateur credentials. I realize amateur careers don't matter that much but what they give you is some depth and experience.

    I am not sure about Price, does he have 100+ amateur fights under his belt or is it closer to 30-40 like Fury & Wilder?

    If he steps up and beats some better names I'll take note. It's hard to gauge how good he is until then, although to be fair Price's opponents are not great either.

    Do not see him fighting either, he will look to avoid them, and get a mandatory another way.

    Its funny isnt it, wilder gets insulted constantly for his weak resume but a guy like larsen has plenty of fans on here claiming he is the second coming. If wilder has been fighting bums then larsen has been fighting the journeymen of the bum fighting circuit.

    I saw a thread where guys were denegrating david hayes punch power and one guy even went so far as to post a video of larsen scoring a one punch ko, over a guy with an abysmal losing record who looked like he could make super middle if he even walked as far as the gym, with the question "when has haye ever scored a ko like this?" written underneath.

    Im not defending wilder by any means, he really needs to step it up, but he is not the only one. He gets **** from the european fans cos he is an american with a bad resume. but the same guys will big up larsen. and by the way im european.

    Well he fought a bit last year and against some good opposition for an up and comer. I have not seen him fight but there is a lot of hype. Price looks the goods though. Is he better than price? I know he is training with Wlad but that doesn't mean that much.
