I have no idea if Wilder will ever get a title or not.
But I have two comments to make:
- His weight isn't a problem at all. Ali was very light, and look how fast he was. Deontay should stay thin and use his speed to his advantage. Putting on weight will just slow him down and give his opponents a better chance to avoid his shots. He should be concerned about technique, not weight.
- Deontay's KO ratio is making him look bad to serious boxing fans because of his poor resume. Valero got a lot of criticism for not being challenged enough in his career, so just imagine the complaints that Deontay will get in today's HW division (a division considered to be weak) if he's not fighting some top guys soon.

I read through Wladimir's transcripts after the sparring sessions for the Wach fight, along with showing Wilder's fights to various boxing trainers, read through the Late Emmanuel Steward's interviews and a list of other things.
Wilder have fought nothing but jouney man so far in his career. That is undeniable, but he's only 27 and will probably move up in 2013.
Wladimir pretty much confirms what I already knew.
Wladimir, sparring with Wilder
""Wilder is the fastest HW I ever fought, not just among big guys but fastest ever."
He got phenomenal foot speed and a very long reach. Very good sparring.
Emmanuel Steward
"Wilder is a natural boxer with immense physical advantages that Mitchell and Jennings do not have.""
Boxing trainer/analysts
A great thing about Wilder is even when he is fighting subpar opponents, he is extremely cautious and stalks you the entire round until he sees an opening and than he moves in for the kill with that massive right hand.
This shows that regardless of the level of competition he is very careful and will not over extent.
There is no reason for Wladimir to lie about Wilder's speed and footwork/power. Plus it's a transcript after the sessions and Wilder wasn't even the main topic, Wlad just slipped it in there.
Mitchell was a moving punching bag. Wilder moves like a 6'8 Gazelle with surreal one punch knock out power, speed,accuracy, and a killer instinct.
So I know how much of this is bull ****, especially with the speed comment. Wlad is faster than Wilder, as are Haye and Chambers, 2 former Wlad opponents.

You HAVEN'T seen Wilder pushed like Wlad pushed him in sparring. That's when the real speed comes out.

Today, the men are huge, being Ali's size is a detriment. Second, he's actually filling out now. Went from 215 to 230.

Originally posted by intoccabile View PostNo, he stalked until he was almost knocked the hell out once. Get real, his speed isn't going to get any better in sparring buddy. That's like saying " in all his wins, he just been going 20%, he can turn super saiyan if you push him! ". What you see is what you get, that has been the case with every fighter in history. Suddenly you Wilder fans think he's the exception.

It's like when Freddie Roach told everyone Rashad Holloway was world class, LOL. Because the guy gave his fighter some work and was interviewed about him. He's not going to downplay him, he's going to say good things.
The man hadn't even had 5 fights yet, and he's world class. Now he's 12-2. That's what trainers and fighters do, they praise people they likeLast edited by intoccabile; 11-18-2012, 09:20 PM.
