    I like him. I think he gets at least as far as the top ten ring rankings and that's without getting better. To be a top 10 in this awful era all you need is a pair of hands and some trunks. I mean Denis Boytsov and Dimitrenko were once top ten! HAHHA!


    This question was given Wilder via Twitter: if you fight Fury would you knock him out?

    Wilder's Answer:"It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when".

    No I'm not excited for someone who haven't fought anyone in top50.

    I like the thought, But can't picture him beating either Klit.
    (Which is what it's all about @HW)

    I think he has a bright future ahead of him.

    People discredit Wilder due to the terrible opposition he faced so far, but he'll step up eventually. He has the physical means to become a champion but he still needs to work on his boxing skills.

    I like what I've seen so far, he's doing what has been asked of him so far.

    I think he will become a top 10 heavyweight, whether a champion obviously remains to be seen.

    At the moment whilst a big puncher he is dick thin and he doesn't look robust, I may be wrong but I'd like to see him start filling out soon which will come with age.

    I would have him below Fury and about the same as Price at the moment.

    Way too sloppy for my liking. It takes more than a big right hand to be something special.

    Excited to see him develop and maintain a televised presence.

    Not excited in the sense that I'm deluding myself we've got an American savior at HW.

    Bryant Jennings is better IMO.

    Wilder needs to step up ASAP! Too untested to gauge yet...getting some good experience as Wlads sparring buddy though!

    Agreed. Then again, I used to think Mitchell was better as well. :err

    I'm very excited. Hopefully this is the year he finally gets exposed as the glass jaw fraud he is.

    Wilder is garbage. He and his Handlers both know this, will this be the year Deontay Wilder finally cashes out?
