    The insane range
    The flicking jabs
    The devastating right hand
    The use of effective range

    Every time I watch Wilder, it's like I'm watching Hearns. :admin:happy

    A Heavyweight Hearns. It's just lovely to see. Most exciting fighter in the game, actually. :nod

    Yes he reminds me too of the Hearns who fought Hagler and Iran Barkley. He showed the same chin as Beyonces in those fights.

    Dude! Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Thomas Hearns. You're not doing any favours to him with these comprasions. Just keep your expectations a little lower.

    There's really no need to. He's an undefeated champion now.

    Did I ever say Foreman?

    Only Mike and Hearns. :D

    Mike because of the s****om (Eventual), Hearns because of the style.

    I don't think it's too out of bounds. It's really what I see.

    Chin and stamina will prove to be the biggest difference down the road.

    As of now, hearns way much more balanced and far more fluid throwing his combos. I have brain freeze, can't remember DW trainer, had the same setup as DW and hearns, so in time DW will be much better balanced and which will help his punches being thrown with the fluidity needed to be able to dominate and stand that chance against joshua and, hate to say it, but this 230 lbs haye with his offensive attributes can be a true force.

    Haye works really hard on his stamina , he'll be one of the true beasts. He won't have to move as much and won't have to fight 3 mins every round just to keep guys off him. I think he should have the bigger guys come to him

    Yup, he's got Tommy's chin - but without the boxing ability to make up for it, unfortunately.

    He fights noting like Hearns.
    Good power/speed, but overall like most HW's, lacks the skill of the lighter weight classes.

    If Steward trained him, he's be amazing. Lol
     
  14. He's got Hearns frame, but I think the main difference is his chin, I am convinced Wilder has a sturdy and solid chin.

    I truly believe Wilder is an ATG in the making.
