Uh, you are the one who does not seem to get what is obvious to the entire rest of the forum. I think you are projecting a bit.
I am a little confused why they have not stepped up. I emailed team Wilder and they got back to me and said they would step up soon. He may have a glass chin, but having a pretty bad chin did not stop Lewis or Wladimir from being great. On the upside he looks to have tons of athletic ability This is what I was emailed below, it makes some sense. hi Big Red, thanks for your interest in deontay. i'm glad you are impressed with him. he works very hard and even though he started boxing at the late age of 19 and only had 30 amateur bouts, he is progressing well. his sparring sessions with david haye, tomas adamek, kevin johnson and mike perez have helped tremendously in this regard. he is moving up the ladder and is now ranked the number 20 american heavyweight and number 8 in the nabf, even though he has only had a few eight rounders. soon we will be doing 10 rounders and will continue to climb. i disagree with you that the fights have been easy and that he hasn't fought anyone with a pulse. hindsight is 20/20 and what may have looked easy in retrospect, was certainly not going in. very few other up and coming boxers would fight a 17-3 mexican in mexico, or an 11-1 cincinnati boxer (with over 150 amateur bouts trained by an olympic coach) in cincinnati, or a 46-15 boxer who just went 7 with hasim rahman and 10 with james toney. deontay did. in fact, of the top 20 american boxers as compiled by boxrec, deontay's opponent's, at the time he fought them, had a better overall record than most of the top 20. in other words, deontay's opponents in his first 20 fights had a better record than the first 20 opponents of eddie chambers, seth mitchell, oliver mccall, michael grant, cedric boswell, tony thompson, etc. and these are the top guys in america. again, thanks for your interest and feel free to email anytime. take care, -jay
