Wilder: My opponent has to be perfect for 12 rounds, I only have to be perfect for one second.

Perfect for 12 rounds? A good heavyweight boxer would end this fraud in 2-3 rounds. Sadly the current HW division is watered down.

 

Any decent heavyweight with a chin will make easy work of wilder. He is being matched strategically to make him out to be a monster. Just remember he was brutally stopped by a little Russian dude with a chin that didn't shatter at the first punch taken. He is a ko waiting to happen when his management makes a mistake in his cherry picking matchmaking.

 

Why did he duck AJ for $120 million and face Breazeale instead for $3 million.

If he was that good at finding his right hand and being able to take anything anyone was able to dish out on him...

 

Doesn't even make sense to me, I've backed him to beat Joshua since the Klitschko fight.

 

Can you explain why you think this HW era is watered down?

 

Look at the champions. Wilder is an unskilled windmilling barroom brawler with punching power. Ruiz has some skills but he is short, fat, has short reach and isn't exactly a power puncher. These guys wouldn't be champions in the Klitschko era.

 

How many years have you been saying this?

 

That's pretty much right on the mark. He is a one trick pony, but it is quite a trick.

 

As many years as he hasn't fought one...

 

Look at the champions in an era considered to be good like the nineties. Herbie Hide, Micheal Bentt, Oliver Mcall and an old and slow George Foreman were all champions at some point in the nineties, so were the nineties a weak era?

Wilder is a crude fighter who only gets by because of his power but so was a Prime George Foreman who was second the best Heavyweight in what most consider to be greatest era in Heavyweight history.

Ruiz is short and has a short reach but has a skillset that allows him to overcome those disadvantages. He is fat but still gets the job done. I don't care how much a fighter weighs as long as he is still winning and it doesn't hinder his ability to fight.

The Champions today wouldn't be champions in the Klitshcko era? Corrie Sanders was a champion in the Klitshcko era, Samuel Peter was a champion in the Klitshcko era, Lamon Brewster was a champion in the Klitshcko era do you really think that Wilder, Ruiz, Fury and Joshua couldn't beat those guys???

 

The HWs are not that watered down but the best don't fight each other so it looks that way.

 

And very much true.

 

When a fighter with skill like Wilder is so successful, it makes you question the state of the division. He is so crude and makes so many mistakes that you have to wonder, how is there not a fighter who can capitalize on that? Any decent champion with skills should blitz Wilder.

 

Match him with Arslabek Makmudov and Wilder will be taking one long snooozy nap.
