Is detony wilder the worst prospect america has ever had?

  1. I've seen a lot of people hype him so I watched some of his fights.

    He won't even be a journeyman, he looks like a basketballer, he is innacurate, his stoppages are jokes and he got heavily dropped by what appeared to be the hamburgular

    This is just sad.

    Well he's fighting Kelvin Price next=first step up.
    He sparred with Haye and Tony Thompson and both were impressed. So...

    The guys had like 2 televised fights and barely anyone hypes him up. So you dumb.

    And there have been many terrible prospects.

    Wilder is so raw at this point is crazy that something he's two fights aways from a title shot. If he going to make waves in the division get a world class trainer and leave Ala kid

    i have never seen any hype for Wilder....all I've seen is hate for the kid. He's a decent prospect and is stepping up in his next fight. He's still learning cause he was a really late starter, he's a few years away from stepping up to worldclass still but the guy has natural power, speed and athleticism so if he gets with a good trainer and keeps gradually stepping up the opposition every couple fights after Price then who knows....

    I'd like to see him do well.

    Royal T much respect but their's some poster's on here that praise this guy a ton as the savior of the HW division. He has speed, power and the athleticism down ur right there but wht worry's me about him he loops his punches, rarely use's his jab, fights small for a big guy and leaves himself wide open for a straight right hand. he along with his trainers are in rush mode to get him a title fight by next year he said it in several youtube interviews. he is clearly not ready for a world class fighter that soon but he's still young enough to be a player one day but he needs to leave Ala and hire a world class trainer

    4 years since Bejing & he still hasnt fought anyone with a pulse.

    Kid has talent but a lot of flaws & a shaky looking chin. Jennings & Mitchell are much better prospects than Wilder
     
  13. Plenty of folks have been hyping him as the future.

    From what I've seen he's wild, sloppy with overrated power and an abysmally eggy chin, he makes Amir Khan look like Oliver mccall

    He's a prospective murder victim at the hands of any top 10 heavyweight, that's about it.
