    wilder is seriously devoid of any backfoot fighting intelligence.

    im not a hater, i like wilder. but he has major flaws. do you think he could have kept his distance from wladmir and outmanouvered him? I dont i think wlad would left hook killed him. damn
    you shouldnt of took 9 rounds to get rid of szpilka. hes not iron chinned, hes small and isnt very elusive. and to lose that many rounds is unimpressive!

    I had wilder to UD Povetkin, now i change my pick to povetkin UD!!

    I think wilder has shown talent wise he has a very low ceiling and he has reached it already. He is a more dangerous fighter who can potentially beat big names if he fights recklessly and goes for broke, but that also makes him vulnerable and beatable by basically anyone

    he cant out box anyone half decent unless they are a small fat lad who look like he dipped he's boots in tar before the bout and throws 15 punches a round.

    he is now obviously trying to show the boxing skills they are teaching him in training in the ring but he is not good enough to pull it off.

    He does have a lot flaws that his power and speed can compensate for. However, it is worrying that he has looked very flawed in his last three fights against less than stellar opposition.

    Because his flaws are so apparent, but he does have great power, athleticism and an awkward style, i can't see him dominating like Wlad. He will be the type of guy who retires after losing his title and picking it or another one up again a few times.

    He will be exciting to watch.

    Kimbo Slice might be a good next defense.

    I agree. I saw it a 50/50 fight before but now I'm favouring Povetkin.

    Wilder has flaws needs to use his jab more most fighters won't get past it Bruno used a jab as a weapon setting up for his big shots .Frank probably had less natural talent than Wilder but used his jab more and stuck to a game plan. If Wilder fights using his jab more the big shots will flow off it keeping fighters on the outside making him very dangerous.
