For me its a bit strange how certain corners are caving and giving wilder respect now. I still won't.
Guy is 30, been pro for 8 years and has had one legit fight against stiverne.... Who is decent but not great.
Outside of that he's done zilch.
I said for a long long time that the plan with wilder was simple
Build him up on a huge ko streak against bums. Pick up an easy belt, then cash out and call it a career. And so far I've seen nothing to disprove that, the povetkin fight would have done the job, and you notice since then all team wilder are talking about is getting their money.
I'm convinced wilder is Michael grant 2.0 and now they are going for yet another defence against a bum, I still feel that way.
Wilder was half a second from brink KO'd by Harold sconiers and his reactions to even cuffing shots looks dire, the first clean shot from any guy above journeyman level will finish him. I have so little faith in wilder I think areolla may honestly finally get that title he's been after all these years.
