Wilder fighting bum after bum. 400 lbs Dustin Nichols floored and put Wilder between life and death. Then journeyman Harold Sconiers knocks him out. Later Wilder brings his personal friend Malik Scott to take a dive. You can see there that just before the KO Malik blinks his eyes that he is ready to go LMAO. Wilder beats sick dehydrated and overrated 37 year old Stiverne who lost to journeyman Demetree King. Wilder also got rocked by Erik Molina who lost to Arreola in 1st round. Wilders career is a joke LMAO.
It's not a joke because he has a title and that's more than most will ever achieve. But he hasn't done anything to make anyone think he's anything more than another weak paper champion taking advantage of the politics of the sport to win and keep a title. Wilder lacks respect from the true fans of the sport, he's been over protected from the beginning and done little to change that view of him as a champion.
Wilder makes some money for himself and his promoters. But the reality is from a legacy point of view he hasn't done anything.
No Wilder is not a joke. He is unbeaten in a long stretch of fighters even though a lot of them have been cans. He has legit KO power. He IS a world champion and beat a pretty good fighter to do so. But he's nowhere NEAR as good as his padded record suggests. I fully expect Povetkin to explode his mandible into glass shards should they ever fight. If he beats Povetkin I will have to seriously rethink my assessment of him.
He has taken an advantage of an opportunity and made it pay so far. His career has more to thank for careful and shrewd management rather than any real skill on his part. Personally I think he's a knockout waiting to happen and one of the weakest heavyweight belt holders of all time.
:deal He is merely a product of careful management, an orchestrated career path mixed with the marketing ploy of having a sick kid to gain pity and support.
If it's a joke, what does that say about the HW division that he was able to usurp a title belt. :huh and get a bronze medal in the Olympics.....
He got his bronze medal by luck , 1. He got to qualify from the weakest qualifying section . 2. He then benefitted from an unseeded Olympic draw and drew 2 africans(from the weakest qualifying section ) 3. He benifitted from a gift against one of these fat Africans . His the luckiest Olympic medalist ever. Fans who throw out this ' oh but his an Olympic bronze medalist ' card are idiots and clueless and don't knwo how he won his medal. When he faced his first decent guy clemente Russo(almost a foot shorter than him) wilder got embarrassed
Wilder is by far the WORST person to ever hold a title... Worse than Herbie Hide, Worse than John Ruiz, Worse than Primo Carnera, on and on.... Anyone who doesn't get paid, can dodge a windmill, and has even the slightest bit of pop is going to KTFO this joke inside of 2 rounds.. Dustin Nichols at 350 would stop hiim between 1-3 rounds; he knocked him down with a "check jab" FFS.... aAnd WTF is a Harold Sconier? Molina had him rocked badly.. He's been life and death with top 300 guys too many times and they will need to cash him out VERY VERY soon.. I hope he gets enough money to care for his daughter at the very least
there is no such thing as getting an Olympic medal (any medal) "by luck" That is an utterly ridiculous comment. I think he's a very weak champion, and his career is questionable to say the least, but to disrespect accomplishments because of an agenda, is just as bad. That being said, Wilder is gonna get ko'd sooner or later, his flaws are obvious and there has been no attempt at correcting them.
