Is it just me when I say Deontay Wilder has the aura of Mike Tyson surrounding him?

    Yeah, it is just you. however, I was in a supermarket the other day and and odd experience happened. I walked through the soup can section and noticed they were all visibly shaking. At first I thought we were having an earth quake. Then I looked around and noticed the cans were directly across from the magazine section and one of the magazines had Deontay Wilder on the cover. Out of compassion for the soup cans I spoke to the store manager and asked would he consider moving either the soup cans or the magazines.

    Tyson had an aura of absolute bad intent, he entered the ring with the intent that he wanted to decapitate his opponent, oozing from every pore. In what parallel universe do you reside where Wilder is comparable.. in any way at all with that.

    i think wilder has potential to improve and be a more complete fighter.

    his management disagree with my assesment because he is being spoon fed patsys who do not have the speed /age/power to land on him when he makes mistakes.

    when wilder is in a big fight those mistakes will not have been ironed out and he will not have anything to fall back on.

    he is most probably to set in his ways now to change.

    joshua was put in a grudge fight v whyte / fought wild and sloppy / got tagged /
    learnt from it / and in his next 3 fights has been a much improved fighter.

    now he is in tough v wlad at least he can form a gameplan / wilder when he steps up is going to have to adapt /the hail mary bombs away is only going to work at a certain level.

    wilder is enjoyable to watch but he is 37-0
    wawrzyk is 37-1 showing how easy it is to build a impressive record /because besides a decent jab as a fighter he is limited in everything else.

    This is much more relevant now cuz Wilder is 37-0, the record Mike was at when he took his first loss.

    James Douglas was looked at as a huge underdog, same with Wawzryk.

    Could Wawzryk pull off this stunning upset?

    james douglas was a lazy fighter hit and miss in all his big fights.
    but he had weapons if he bothered to train and focus
    gave tony tucker a good fight before he ran out of steam

    against tyson he looked a marquee fighter everything flowed off the jab / and he showed a good version of most punches in the book and how to cope with an inside fighter.

    wawrzyk is a patsy.
    he has no power in his right hand.
    he has no physical strength or muscle.
    he has a nice jab and is a genuine trier but IMO he is not even european title level and brings nothing to the table.
    IMO wawrzyk has not even a 250-1 chance

    He doesn't want Parker.

    He doesn't want to unify.

    Stick that "aura" up ur arse and delete this thread.

    If anybody does it is Joshua. I have heard people comparing Wilder to Michael Grant. Wilder looms faster and clearly punches harder though.
