    Lets not even give him 5. Mike would have had him in 2 tops.

    No Tyson achieved a lot more in much less time than Wilder.

    But I must admit I was impressed with his performance against Liakhovich. It was a step up in class and while Liakhovich is past his best he doesn't normally just fold like an Audley Harrison. But the way Wilder dispatched him was scary. Wilder clearly needs to step up again, would be nice to stick him in with a guy he hasn't been stopped before and so can take him some rounds.

    Absolutely ****ing not. He has raw power and little else. Soon as he fights a top 10, if he DOESN'T take them in a round, he's done.

    Agreed.

    I was thinking here we go again, but my the way Liakhovich was writhing. Scary.

    How do you rate his power?

    Surely he's power is up there. Possibly the hardest hitter at the moment?

    I would put him the category of a Larry Homes because of his jab and right hand but I reserve further comments on him because as people know, he hasn't really fought any one of note and to be honest it's time for that to start happening. He's got a big mouth so make him **** or get off the pot.
